About Yellow corn tortilla chips

Yellow corn tortilla chips are a popular snack crafted from ground yellow corn, oil, and a touch of salt. Commonly baked or fried, these triangular chips are a staple in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, often paired with salsa, guacamole, or queso for dipping. Made from whole-grain corn, they provide a source of fiber and essential nutrients, such as magnesium and B vitamins. However, some brands may add excess sodium or utilize refined oils, making portion control important for maintaining balanced nutrition. Many tortilla chips are gluten-free, catering to those with dietary restrictions. While their crisp texture and savory flavor make them irresistible, moderation is key, especially with fried varieties, as they tend to be higher in unhealthy fats. For a healthier option, look for baked versions with minimal additives or prepare homemade chips using whole corn tortillas for a nutritious twist.
