About Mexican tortilla chips
Mexican tortilla chips, a beloved staple of Mexican cuisine, are made from thinly sliced corn tortillas that are cut into triangular shapes and fried or baked until crispy. Traditionally crafted from masa harina (corn flour), water, and salt, these chips offer a delightful crunch and a robust corn flavor. They often serve as the base for dishes like nachos or as a side to salsas and guacamole. Though tortilla chips provide energy from carbohydrates, they can be high in calories, fat, and sodium—especially when fried or heavily salted. On the brighter side, whole-grain or baked varieties may offer more fiber and less fat, making them a slightly healthier option. While delicious and easy to pair with nutritious dips, moderation is key to balancing their enjoyment with a healthy lifestyle.
