Talk about succulent snacks. Tia Lupita has really prickled our fancy by creating tortilla chips made from the Nopal cactus. Drought-resistant nopales (the pads of the plant) boast the same health-boosting qualities of goji berries and kale. So don’t worry about double-dipping into a bag, as these crunchy, sea salt-sprinkled, locally-made chips are as good for you as they are for the environment! Bound with cassava and coconut flour, with an extra dose of nutrient-rich nuttiness from a smattering of chia seeds, they’re a great source of fiber, as well as grain-free and gluten-free. After trying cactus tortilla chips, we may never go back to corn. Just laying all our chips on the table.
