Unsalted tortilla chips are perfect for creating a variety of dishes. They can be spread on a baking sheet and topped with cheese, beans, and other ingredients to make nachos. For a lighter option, they can be served alongside a bowl of your favorite salsa or guacamole. They also work well as a crunchy element in salads or as a base for layered dips. When used in baked dishes, they provide a satisfying texture and absorb flavors beautifully.
