The Corazonas potato chips have 40% lower fat content than regular chips. Their tortilla chips have 18 grams of whole grain and both varieties are infused with plant sterols that are proven to lower your bad (LDL) cholesterol. Read more about the health benefits of their chips here.
Now you wonder something so healthy could it taste good? Corozanos didn't shortchange in the flavor department in any of the flavors I sampled from their potato chips in Parmesan Peppercorn, Sea Salt & Vinegar, Italiano 4 Cheese, and Spicy Rio Haberero. In the tortilla chips, I tasted Squeeze of Lime, Black Bean & Cheese (Yummy favorite), and the Lightly Salted.
Sure, you can enjoy any of the healthy chips straight out of the bag without guilt. Nonetheless, I wanted to show you how else to enjoy these fabulous products and entice your kid's as well to eat what they may not like (such as their veggies) with a few good recipes I made with use of these products.
The first recipe will become a family favorite for ease of preparation. Adding the flavored Corazonas Italian 4 Cheese Potato Chips turns quiche in an exciting new direction with a crunch, which kid's really enjoy.
The second recipe is perfect for when you have leftover chili and need to reinvent. Besides, being the perfect quick summer meal, this dish is scrumptious. The whole family will gooble this one up and demand more.
The last recipe is a great way to fool your kids into eating their veggies with this Crunchy Veggie Casserole. Trust me, and you stick their least favorite inside and add my simple sauce and crunchy topping and those reluctant eaters will clean their plates.
My Crunchy Quiche!
1/2 bag of Corazonas Italian 4-Cheese Potato Chips, broken into small pieces
1-1/2 cups milk (I like one-percent )
3 eggs
14.5 oz. can of green beans, drained
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar Cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
unbaked 10" pie crust to fit your quiche pan.
Prepare my Oil Pie Crust for flaky, no fail crust first or any pie crust to fit into greased quiche pan. Turn on your oven to 400 degrees.
Next, place your drained green beans at the bottom of your shell, shredded cheese, then broken chips over the cheese.
Mix your eggs with your milk, basil and pepper to combine well. Pour this mixture over the ingredients in your quiche pan and bake for about 40 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean.
