Why this works
A light, sweet-savoury snack with modest calories and low fat, but relatively refined carbohydrate and only moderate fibre.
Citrus & tea antioxidants. Black tea and lime contribute polyphenols and vitamin C, which support antioxidant intake.
Low saturated fat. This snack is naturally very low in saturated fat, making it a lighter option than many fried or cheese-based snacks.
Sodium awareness. Lightly salted tortillas and soy sauce add sodium, so the snack is not especially low-salt despite its small portion size.
Method
- Cut the tortillas into bite-sized pieces.
- Steep the black tea in the still water, then reduce it to a strong, dark glaze.
- Stir in honey and soy sauce if using, then brush lightly over the tortilla pieces.
- Bake at 190°C (Fan 170°C, 374°F, Gas Mark 5) for 6–8 minutes until crisp and glossy.
- Finish with sesame seeds and a squeeze of lime, if available, then serve warm.
