Product Review: Snyder's Grande Multi-Grain Tortilla Chips

One of the things I was lamenting the loss of when I decided to give up enriched flour, was crackers & crunchy snacks. I would usually eat Goldfish crackers in the afternoon, or maybe some pretzels with lunch. Those peanut butter crackers? Love 'em. Can't get enough of tasty, crunchy things in the middle of the day.

Another thing I was not looking forward to giving up was tacos. I'm a sucker for some ground beef or turkey seasoned with cumin and annatto, topped with cheese, lettuce, tomato, green onions, and a dab of sour cream. Mmm! (No, they don't know us at our local Taco Bell... I swear...)

A good alternative to floury tortillas or crunchy crackers is this: Snyder's Grande Multi-Grain Tortilla Chips.

Don't let the ingredients listed on the web site fool you; the packaging actually reads: Whole Yellow Corn, Whole Rice Flour, Vegetable Oil (contains one or more of the following: corn oil, canola oil or sunflower oil), Whole Oat and Barley Flour, Maltodextrin, Salt.

The key word, of course, being "whole" before each of the flours listed. This means you are getting not just multi-grain, but whole grains with each tasty tortilla chip. No enriched flour found here!

I found these chips in a separate section of the grocery store (near the gluten-free products) instead of with all of the other tortilla chips, but that's what you get for taking your time to occasionally browse the grocery store & peruse the various options you have.

I'm very excited that these tortilla chips are available, and they are going to become a regular on my shopping list when taco night comes around again.
