Healthy Tortilla Chips

Let's start this new week with a delicious low-fat, low-sodium alternative to conventional tortilla chips. They go especially well with guacamole and spicy salsa.

HealthyTortilla Chips

1 pk corn tortillas (12 ounces) or
1 pk flour tortillas (14 ounces), 10-inch size
Salt (optional)

Immerse tortillas one at a time in water. Let drain briefly, then lay flat.

If desired, sprinkle tops lightly with salt.

Cut each tortilla into 6 to 8 wedges.

Cover a lightly oiled baking sheet with a single layer of tortilla wedges, salt side up. Place close together but do not overlap.

Bake in a 500F oven for 4 minutes. Turn with a spatula; then continue to bake until golden brown and crisp, an additional 3 minutes for corn tortillas and 1 minute for flour tortillas. (Store in an airtight bag until ready to serve.)

Yield: 6 servings, 12 cups

Wow, that's a healthy tortilla chip recipe!

Thanks for sharing recipe Chet!

For those who may not have the time to make and prepare, I wanted to take this opportunity to let them know about Corazonas heart healthy tortilla chips.

Corazonas Foods is a new company that's focused on offering heart healthy snack alternatives. Our heart healthy tortilla chips are crafted with whole oats and plants sterols and have been shown to help reduce LDL cholesterol by 15% -- and they actually taste great!

Corazonas chips are also:
- all natural
- trans fat-free
- low in saturated fat
- zero cholesterol
- a good source of fiber
- low or reduced sodium (depending on flavor).

As a new, entrepreneurial company, we're just getting off the ground and can be found in grocery stores in California and Colorado and at Jamba Juice stores nationwide -- and last week just announced we're available through amazon.com, so people everywhere can order them direct to their doorstep!

I encourage people to visit www.corazonas.com to learn more about us. Thanks Chet!
