Default 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.

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!

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
