Tortilla chips are traditionally made from corn tortillas, which consist of ground corn, water, and lime. Originating from Mexican cuisine, they are typically sliced into triangles and fried or baked until crisp. Known for their crunchy texture and versatility, tortilla chips can be enjoyed on their own, paired with salsas, guacamole, or used as a base for nachos. While they provide a source of carbohydrates and some dietary fiber, their nutritional value varies depending on preparation. Baked varieties are lower in fat, whereas fried versions may contain significant amounts of saturated fats and calories. Some brands fortify tortilla chips with additional nutrients like whole grains or reduce sodium for healthier options. However, excessive consumption of high-sodium or heavily processed versions may contribute to health concerns. Moderation is key when incorporating these chips into a balanced diet, especially when paired with nutrient-rich toppings.
