corn tortilla chips

March 31st, 2009

You might not think it is possible to lose weight while on a eating plan which includes corn tortilla chips but it can happen. The key is to not eat corn tortilla chips or other high calorie appetizer every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself rich food one day per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for 6 days of the week, say 1500 to 2000 calories per day, and then one day, I eat whatever I want – within reason of course.

I have been eating like this for the last 6 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise plan or taken any vitamins or diet drinks. I have just been conscious of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I feel like one day a week.

I also find it is helpful if you have a little support when trying to lose weight and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to help you monitor your progress and reach your goals.

Corn Tortilla Chips

Vegetable oil (for deep-frying)
12 thin corn tortillas
Salt or garlic salt, to taste

Cover tortillas with a towel and let them dry out for at least an hour before frying.

Pour enough oil into a heavy skillet to measure at least 1 inch in depth. Heat to 375 degrees F.

While the oil warms, cut each tortilla into 4 or 6 wedges. Fry 6 to 8 tortilla wedges at a time for just a few seconds. The chips should turn crisp, but not brown. Drain the chips and repeat with the remaining tortillas. Sprinkle with salt if you wish.

Serve warm with salsa and guacamole.
