Tortilla chips are a popular snack originating from Mexican cuisine, typically made from corn tortillas that are sliced into triangles and fried or baked until crispy. The main ingredients include corn, vegetable oil, and a sprinkle of salt, though some variations may use seasonings or additional flavors. These chips are a source of carbohydrates and contain small amounts of protein and dietary fiber from the corn base. While tortilla chips can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet, they are often high in calories and fat due to the frying process, and flavored varieties may contain added sugars or sodium. Opting for baked versions or pairing them with nutrient-rich sides like guacamole or salsa can enhance their health appeal. As a versatile snack, they serve as a satisfying base for nachos, dips, or standalone enjoyment. Moderation is key to incorporating tortilla chips into a healthy lifestyle.
