Guilt Free Chips and Salsa

My dear friends. If you like corn tortillas and If available where you live, try yo buy Nopal tortillas (only 20 cal each) while normal tortillas are 60 to 110 cal each one. Si if you cut tortillas in 6 parts and bake them (without oil) each totopo (as we call in mexico corn chips) would be about 3.33 calories (almost nothing)

In nopal tortillas only little corn is used and the main ingredient is Nopal (a kind of mexican cactus widely consumed in mexico and with lots of health benefits almost no calories in it (good to lower cholesterol, sugar, etc), taste is excellent, you would not notice the difference.

Also try to prepare your own salsa or pico de gallo using natural ingredients (fresh jalapeño or serrano chile, tomato, onion, coriander, etc), processed salsa usually tastes artificial and have lots of sugar in it.
I am mexican and I can give you lots of authentic salsa recipes.

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:

(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...!
