Homemade keto tortilla chips are the best snack that fights those salty cravings! These have an irresistible chili lime flavoring, so they taste amazing by themselves or with your favorite dip.
Are Tortilla Chips Keto
No, traditional tortilla chips are not keto-friendly. They are either made from wheat flour or corn flour and have around 46g carbs in each cup.
There is a way to make tortilla chips out of other ingredients – ones that are lower in carbs and high in fiber. If you enjoy making a homemade dip and want a crispy chip, then keep reading! This recipe is for you.
Keto Tortilla Chips
In order to make these tortilla chips low in carbs, I used a combination of mozzarella cheese and almond flour. They turn out perfectly crunchy, thanks to the almond flour.
When you make these chips, use almond flour, not almond meal. If you use almond meal, the chips will have a grainy texture that isn’t very noticeable in the chips but could be distracting.
Even though I used cheese to make the chips, you can store them at room temperature. Keep them in an airtight container or food storage bag and they will stay fresh for a few weeks.
Chili Lime Tortilla Chips
There are only 4g net carbs in each serving of chips. I used fresh lime juice, spicy chili powder, and earthy garlic powder to flavor them.
If you really want them to be spicier, I suggest adding a dash of cayenne pepper or paprika. This will leave some heat on your tongue.
Or, go the opposite way with the spices. Make the chips even milder. Omit the chili powder and just add lime juice and some salt. This will give you chips that let the dip stand out, not the taste of the chips.
Homemade Keto Chips
These keto chips are the best type of party food. When you make chips out of cheese and almond flour, you have the freedom to enjoy chips and dip without the guilt!
Set these out at your next party. You might have to make a double batch because they will go fast! Everyone will enjoy the iconic chili lime flavor, even if they don’t use them with the dip.
These chips are also perfect to add to a foodie gift basket. Add a few jars of low-carb salsa and a few extra treats. It’s easy and thoughtful.
Keto Dip Ideas
There are a bunch of different keto-friendly dips that will taste amazing with these zesty chips. Serve these chips with a low-carb 7 layer taco dip. It has lots of the same flavors in it.
Cheese lovers will really dig this keto queso dip. It has sausage and is topped with slices of jalapenos.
For a completely different flavor, make a keto reuben dip. It’s really cheese with bits of red pepper. Or prepare a simple keto-friendly salsa or easy guacamole recipe. You really can’t go wrong!
