Tortilla corn chips are a popular snack originating from Mexican cuisine, crafted from thinly sliced corn tortillas that are seasoned and baked or fried until crisp. Typically made with whole-ground corn, vegetable oil, and a pinch of salt, these chips deliver a satisfying crunch with a hint of natural sweetness from the corn. They are a gluten-free option, making them suitable for those with dietary restrictions. Rich in carbohydrates, corn chips provide quick energy, but their high sodium and fat content, particularly in fried varieties, may be less suitable for heart-healthy diets. Baked versions or chips made with non-hydrogenated oils can offer lower-fat alternatives. Often paired with dips like salsa or guacamole, tortilla corn chips are versatile and beloved worldwide, whether enjoyed as a snack or a base for dishes like nachos. Moderation is key to balancing their flavorful appeal with nutritional considerations.
