About Tortilla chips

Tortilla chips are a popular snack originating from Mexican cuisine, made from corn tortillas that are cut into triangular shapes and fried or baked. Typically crafted with simple ingredients like corn, vegetable oil, and salt, they offer a crisp texture and versatile flavor. Corn used in tortilla chips is often nixtamalized, a traditional process that enhances nutritional value by increasing calcium and other minerals. While tortilla chips provide some dietary fiber and essential nutrients like magnesium, their healthiness depends on preparation and portion size. Baked varieties tend to be lower in fat than fried versions, but both can be high in sodium. They pair well with nutrient-rich dips like guacamole or salsa, offering a balanced way to enjoy their crunch. When consumed in moderation, tortilla chips make for a satisfying snack, though watching calorie and salt intake is important.
