Tortilla chips with guacamole is a popular snack rooted in Mexican cuisine. The dish combines crispy tortilla chips, usually made from deep-fried or baked corn tortillas, with guacamole, a creamy dip made from mashed avocados mixed with lime juice, salt, and often cilantro, onion, and tomatoes. Avocados, the main ingredient in guacamole, are rich in healthy fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making this dish nutrient-dense and heart-healthy in moderation. However, tortilla chips can be high in sodium and unhealthy fats depending on preparation methods, particularly if fried. While this pairing offers a balance of crunch and creaminess, portions should be monitored to avoid excessive calorie intake. For a healthier option, baked chips or freshly-made tortilla strips can be paired with guacamole made with minimal added salt. Enjoyed as an appetizer or snack, it’s a flavorful way to celebrate traditional Mexican flavors while incorporating wholesome ingredients.
