Baked Tortilla or Pita Chips

Crushed tortilla chips or pita chips would seem like a healthy alternative when you've got an intense junk food craving. They also give your salad a crunchy texture and a great flavor.

Tex-Mex salads with beans, salsa, avocado, and shredded cheese benefit from the addition of tortilla chips. Pita chips, on the other hand, combine well with salads with Mediterranean flavor. Baked corn tortilla or whole-grain pita chips, which are low in sodium and added sugar, are the healthiest options. A serving of packaged whole-wheat pita chips contains around 3 grams of fiber and 4 grams of protein (11 chips or about 28 grams). You can slice a few tortillas or pitas into six triangles, brush each triangle with olive oil, and bake for 10–15 minutes at 350°F (176°C) to make homemade baked chips.
