Thin and crispy tortilla chips are a versatile snack inspired by traditional Mexican cuisine. Made primarily from ground corn, water, and a touch of lime, these chips are baked or fried to achieve their signature crunchy texture. Their simplicity highlights earthy corn flavors, making them a perfect complement to salsas, guacamole, or as layering in dishes like nachos. Nutritionally, the chips are generally low in added sugar and provide a source of quick-digesting carbohydrates. However, they can be high in sodium and saturated fats, especially if fried or heavily salted. Some varieties offer whole-grain corn options, boosting dietary fiber for improved digestion. When enjoyed in moderation, they can be part of a balanced diet, but pairing with nutrient-dense dips will enhance their health value. Their origins trace back to indigenous Mesoamerican cooking traditions, celebrated for their ingenious use of corn in countless culinary creations.
