Tortilla chips and salsa is a classic snack rooted in Mexican cuisine, celebrated worldwide for its vibrant flavors and simplicity. Tortilla chips, typically made from corn, are sliced, fried or baked, and lightly salted, offering a crunchy base. Salsa, in its many variations, is a flavorful mix of tomatoes, onions, peppers, and herbs, sometimes blended with lime juice and spices, providing refreshing acidity and natural antioxidants. The dish is naturally gluten-free, high in fiber from the corn, and packed with vitamins A and C from the salsa. However, typical tortilla chips can be high in sodium and fat, especially when fried, making portion control essential for maintaining a balanced diet. Opting for baked chips or pairing salsa with fresh veggies can enhance nutritional benefits. Enjoyed as an appetizer or snack, tortilla chips and salsa remain a delicious and versatile staple enjoyed by people of all ages.
