    Not sure anything could replace tortilla chips but I quite like the Special K crisp cracker thingies. I don't really like spicy things but they do a chilli version that would probably go quite well with salsa

    I bake up zucchini, slice it about 1/4" thick, sprinkle with chili, cumin and garlic powder and bake for 15 minutes at 400. Flip the zucchini, sprinkle with shredded cheese and spoon some salsa on each piece and bake for another 5-10 to melt the cheese. It's not chips and salsa like you're used to but it's an easy way to sneak in more veggies and you can still eat then with your fingers.

    Thanks for the suggestions. Most sound great. The salsa is a requirement. That bowl between us on the couch is the foundation of our marriage and if I tried to change that she would divorce me.

    I kid of course. She'd stab me first and then divorce me.

    I'm going to give the Beanitos a try and a few of the homemade chips suggested. I'm in it for the salsa. The chips are just filler to keep me from getting hungry at 3am.

    Baked cheese chips have zero carbs. I've never tried them but here is a link: http://www.food.com/recipe/parmesan-chips-45756

    I say just eat the chips and stay under calories. . Nothing replaces corn chips.....especially not kale.

    I concur! I just eat salsa with warm corn tortillas... I try to skip the chip!

    You can make chips out of cheese, I like parm the best, but you can use any cheese, finely shredded. I put parchment paper on a cookie sheet, make little piles of the shredded cheese, what ever size you want your chips to be, then bake at 350, until browned and crisp. I make quite a few at a time and keep them in air tight container. Watch them closely in the oven because there is a fine line between crisp enough and burnt. I just love these cheese chips. Hope you will too.
