Low cal tortilla chip or tortilla chip substitute?
 
Anyone know a good low cal tortilla chip or substitute? I LOVE chips and salsa but have only been able to eat a couple to stay within my calories. Also with the game coming up I thought i would check with y'all. Thanks guys!

I love Trader Joes rice & bean chips with adzuki beans, oh so light & flavorful, they are absolutely delish! :)
Great calorie count, low sodium, so tasty you don't even need the salsa.

Corn tortillas are usually about 50 calories each, so you can cut into wedges and bake - I recommend a pizza stone for this - and make chips.

Thanks guys! Those both sound like great ideas to try :)

Yes to this! I do this with my low-carb wraps and they taste awesome. About 90 calories, 6 net carbs and one wrap makes around 8-12 chips (12 smaller, 8 larger obviously). So good, and you can control the portion :)

I'd have to second these. They are REALLY tasty on their own and low in calories! :D

Those homemade corn tortilla chips sound tasty! Chips are my weakness for sure. I know you like tortilla chips (like I do), so what I usually grab when I'm thinking about chips are those mini rice cakes cheddar cheese flavor. I've also seen sweet chili and some bbq. 90 cals for like 10 of them :)
