Yellow tortilla chips are a crunchy, flavorful snack made primarily from ground yellow corn, vegetable oil, and a touch of salt. Their origins trace back to Mexican cuisine, inspired by traditional tortillas that have been cooked and sliced into smaller pieces. Often enjoyed on their own or paired with dips like salsa, guacamole, or queso, these chips are a popular snack choice across cultures. Rich in carbohydrates, they provide quick energy but are moderately high in calories due to their oil content. While they do offer small amounts of fiber and essential nutrients like magnesium and potassium from the corn base, they are typically high in sodium and may contain added fats, depending on preparation. For a healthier option, look for baked varieties or pair them with nutrient-rich sides to balance their nutritional profile and enjoy them as part of a mindful snacking experience.
