"Cuisine is both an art and a science: it is an art when it strives to bring about the realization of the true and the beautiful, called le bon (the good) in the order of culinary ideas. As a science, it respects chemistry, physics and natural history. Its axioms are called aphorisms, its theorems recipes, and its philosophy gastronomy."

NOTE: Fat Free Flour Tortillas are now available
on the market, so you could use them and greatly
reduce the fat content in the flour tortilla chips.
You might want to lightly spray the baking sheet with
a vegetable cooking spray to further insure that the
chips don't stick as there is no fat in the tortillas.
These would be wonderful with the Bean Dip (Diabetic)
and the Chili Con Queso (Diabetic). (Trish)
