Keto Tortilla Chips

Nutrition

These homemade low carb chips are perfect for most people on a low-carb diet, even if their particular flavor of low carb diet is a keto one.

For the sake of nutritional information, I’ve marked the servings per recipe as being 4 - so ¼ of the recipe.

This is a HUGE serving size, as the chips are VERY filling.

That said, ¼ of the recipe weighs in at 349 calories, 33 grams of protein, 6 grams of total carbs, and 3 grams of fiber - so 3 net grams of carbs per large, very filling serving.

Oh, and if you skip the onion and garlic powders, you can save ½ gram of net carbs per serving.

Serving Homemade Low Carb Tortilla Chips

As with many crunchy chips, these homemade tortilla chips go well with a variety of dips, and used in various preparations.

My favorite way to serve them is pretty simple, with a bowl of my keto Homemade Salsa - just as I tend to do with traditional tortilla chips - or with my Keto Taco Salad.

These homemade keto chips will also go well with any of your favorite keto dips, or used to make a batch of crunchy keto tortilla chip nachos.

Have you tried my Jalapeno Popper Dip? Fantastic!

Ingredients & Equipment

This is a relatively basic recipe, and mostly calls for simple ingredients and basic equipment. You will need:

Ingredients

This recipe is mostly made of common ingredients that you can easily find at almost any grocery store:

- Shredded mozzarella Cheese

- Almond Flour / Almond Meal

- Unflavoured Whey Protein Isolate

- Flax Meal

- Garlic Powder

- Onion Powder

- Salt

Equipment

You don’t need anything REALLY Specialized to make this recipe, but you will need:

- A Food Processor.

- A rolling pin. I recommend this Rolling pin with adjustable thickness guides, it makes it SUPER easy to get your dough thin, and a perfectly even thickness.

- A Pizza Cutter or sharp knife.

- Large Baking Sheets.

Flavour Variations

There are so many ways to flavour these, you’re really only limited by your specific dietary restrictions.

I’m going to provide a few flavour / ingredient combination suggestions, rather than full recipes. You can use as much or as little of the ingredients as you like, to taste.

It’s fun to customize these chips - you can add seasoning to the dry ingredients, shake and press them over the dough before cutting, or both.

If using these on top of the dough, I recommend also adding a bit of salt.

I usually sprinkle them on the dough, rather than in it. Kinda feels more like Quest chips / Doritos that way.

A Few Flavour Suggestions:

All-Dressed: You can use a commercial All Dressed Popcorn Seasoning, or make a batch of my Homemade All Dressed Seasoning. Use Swerve Brown Sugar Substitute instead of brown sugar.

Cheddar Cheese: You can use a commercial Cheddar Popcorn Seasoning, White Cheddar Popcorn Seasoning, or Jalapeno Cheddar Popcorn Seasoning. Alternatively, you can use Cheddar Cheese Powder or White Cheddar Cheese Powder.

Chili Lime: Use some Chili Powder, Smoked Serrano Powder, or Hatch Chile Powder, and True Lime Packets (Note: The shaker bottles have Maltodextrin), as using lime juice would affect the texture.

Dill Pickle: You can use a commercial Dill Pickle Popcorn Seasoning , or make a batch of my Homemade Dill Pickle Seasoning.

Ketchup: You can use a commercial Ketchup Popcorn Seasoning, or make a batch of my Homemade Ketchup Seasoning. Use a Erythritol / Monkfruit Blend Sweetener instead of the granulated sugar.

Ranch: You can use a premade Ranch Seasoning or Ranch Popcorn Seasoning

Salt and Vinegar: You can use a commercial Salt & Vinegar Popcorn Seasoning , or Sea Salt and Vinegar Powder , to taste.

Sour Cream and Onion: You can use a commercial Sour Cream & Onion Popcorn Seasoning, or Onion Powder and Sour Cream Powder.

Taco: Sprinkle a bit of a store bought Taco Seasoning or make a homemade version.

Note: If using a premade seasoning, just be sure to check the ingredients & nutritional info.

How to Make Keto Tortilla Chips

The full recipe follows in the recipe card at the end of this post, this is a pictorial walk through with additional tips and info.

First step: preheat oven to 350 F, line 2 baking sheets with a piece of parchment paper.

In another case of “do as I say, not as I do”, I recommend cutting the pieces of parchment paper to fit the pan bottoms, without reaching up the sides. This allows for nice flat chips, if that matters to you!

Measure shredded cheese into a microwave-safe bowl - I like to use a large glass bowl.. Heat - 45-60 seconds at a time - until cheese has melted.

Measure remaining ingredients into a food processor, blitz to combine.

Roll dough ball out between sheets of parchment paper - you want it as thin as humanly possible, 1/16th of an inch or thinner. They will puff up a bit when cooking.

Use a sharp knife, cookie cutter, or pizza cutter to cut your rolled out dough into chip-sized triangles.

Transfer tortilla chips to the prepared baking sheets as a single layer, leaving a little room between each of them.

Bake for about 10 minutes, until crispy and golden brown around the edges.
