I posted this super-simple recipe for low-cal chips and salsa in my blog, recently, and continue to improve on it each time I make it.

I'll start by giving you the link to the original blog post:

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/finallychelle/view/lo-cal-delicious-chips-and-salsa-190363#comments

(Feel free to check out my OTHER blog posts, too!)

My latest improvement:

After you cut the corn tortillas into triangles and place them on the cookie sheet, sprinkle with rosemary, then lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray, then sprinkle with garlic powder and salt.

Bake at 400 degrees, as before, until golden brown.

If they're not crispy and delicious then you didn't bake them long enough!

Be sure to buy corn tortillas that have only 40 calories each. Some have fat added and can have as many as 110 calories, each. The 40 calorie tortillas work great-- so there's no reason to buy anything else.

You cannot believe how good these things are and 24 chips with salsa is only 150 calories-- and filling!

And crunchy!

And salty!

And spicy!

They've got ALL the "'y's" except fattening-y...!

    Oooh these sound good.......anyone know if we can buy corn tortillas anywhere in the UK? Our regular ones are very high in cals so I try to avoid them at all costs.

    What brand are your 40 calorie tortillas?

    Here in England they're way over that amount, but if I have a brand name I could do a search, or may even be able to find some to bring back at Loblaws during my upcoming trip to Canada.
  • Thanks! They look delicious!!

    40 calorie corn tortillas are pretty common, here in the states.

    I use the "Lynn Wilson's" brand.

    Good luck!
