LC Tortilla Chips

OK, so only day 6 and already I was craving something chippy or bready. My friends marvel at how chocolate just sits around my house forever - but a bag of crispy, salty chips? They stand no chance - That's always been my personal downfall.

Anyway - you may have already tried this, but I just discovered that I could cut low-carb tortillas into neat little triangles and fry them in a little oil in a frying pan (I threw a clove of garlic into the oil for a little added flavoring), then salted them while still hot right out of the frying pan. MMM mmmm... Satisfied my need for something salty and pretty crunchy. Can't wait to try them with guacamole or use them to make nachos? (topped w/meat, cheese, sour cream and jalapenos)...

My husband came up with another idea. He thought they'd be delicious sprinkled with some Splenda and cinnamon while still piping hot.

OK - time for the mad LC scientists to hit the sack.

More tomorrow, I'm sure!

xoxo!
