About Shredded tortilla strips
Shredded tortilla strips are crispy, thin slices of corn or flour tortillas, commonly used as a topping or garnish in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine. They are made by cutting tortillas into small strips and frying or baking them until golden and crunchy. Corn tortilla strips are naturally gluten-free, while flour variations may contain gluten. These strips add texture and flavor to dishes like soups, salads, and casseroles. While they provide a satisfying crunch, they are typically fried, which means they can be calorie-dense and higher in fat. Choosing baked versions or moderating portion size can make them a lighter option. Packed with carbohydrates, they serve as a quick energy source but offer minimal protein and fiber. For enhanced nutritional value, look for versions prepared with whole-grain tortillas or consider making your own using heart-healthy oils or air baking methods.
