Tortilla crisps, often referred to as tortilla chips, are thin, triangular pieces of baked or fried tortilla, typically made from corn or flour. Originating from Mexican cuisine, these crispy snacks are commonly seasoned with salt and served with dips like salsa, guacamole, or queso. Rich in carbohydrates, they’re a popular choice for quick energy, though their exact nutritional profile depends on preparation methods. Baked versions are generally lower in fat compared to the traditional fried variety, making them a lighter option. While tortilla crisps provide essential minerals like magnesium and iron from the corn base, their high sodium content and calorie density can be a concern if consumed in excess. When paired with nutrient-rich dips, they can be part of a balanced snack. Look for minimally processed versions and watch portion sizes to enjoy their crunch without compromising your health goals.
