Featured Recipe: Paleo Chips and Salsa

Probably the snack that my husband and I most often “cheat” on is corn tortillas chips and salsa. It is absolutely our FAVORITE salty snack. So naturally when Celia suggested featuring one of her famous salsa recipes, I was immediately on-board but with one stipulation … that she came up with a paleo “tortilla chip” recipe as well! The two recipes she landed on are both seriously DELISH. The salsa has just enough kick with that fresh homemade taste that can’t be found in the store-bought jars. And the chips provide the crunch you crave and make for the perfect vehicle for getting the yummy salsa to your mouth! Another great thing about these chips is that they are more filling and less addicting than typical tortilla chips. You will fill up quicker, eat less, yet still feel absolutely satisfied! Check it out.
