Anyways, let's get into the nitty-gritty about how to make tortilla chips keto friendly!

Low Carb Tortilla Chips Ingredients

Besides being crazy easy to make, the ingredients list for this low carb tortilla chip recipe is also super simple.

All of the ingredients areketo pantry staplesthatyouprobablyalready have,or should consider getting if you're planning on doing a lot of keto cooking!

That said, to make these keto tortilla chips, you'll need:

• Blanched almond flour
• Xanthan gum
• Baking powder
• A large egg
• Salt

Pretty standard keto ingredients, eh?

Almond Flour and Other Keto Substitutes

Almondflouris one of the best flours to use for keto sinceit works well in any recipe– from savoryketo chafflesto sweetketo brownies– and it's really low in carbs.

Having said that, I've been using theBlue DiamondAlmond Flour lately. It's got the lowest carb count I've seen on almond flour, and it's the cheapest one I've found too.

Now, if almond flour isn't your thing, there are a couple of different keto friendly options you could use in its place.

The best alternatives for keto arewalnut flourandsunflower seed flour.

And, I've said this a couple of times before, but substituting coconut flour foralmond flouris a rookie mistakeyou don't want to make.

Coconut flour is highly absorbent and will make your dough extremely dry and crumbly.

Not to mention, the coconut flavor is overpowering and won't work in a recipe like this - just a little pro-tip for ya!

Xanthan Gum in Keto Cooking

So if you've been following my recipes for a while, you've probably noticed I usexanthan gumpretty often.

Xanthan gumis basicallyketo-friendly gluten. It binds all the ingredients together and gives you a wonderfully chewy texture.

For this keto tortilla chip recipe though, it's mostly going to help give our dough an elastic quality so we can roll it out thin enough to make tortilla chips.

However, If you don't have xanthan gum on hand - or can't find it - guar gum can be used in its place. And the beautiful thing about using guar gum is that it's a 1:1 substitute for xanthan gum.

How to Make Keto Tortilla Chips

As I mentioned, these keto chips are actually super easy to make.

And the result is classic tortilla chips that are perfect for the keto diet!

So get out the ingredients and let's get cooking.

Step 1: Making The Dough

Ok, so the first step to making keto tortilla chips is making the dough.

And, this dough is similar to what I use in my keto quesadilla recipe.

So, you'll want to start by whisking thedry ingredients– thealmond flour,xanthan gum,baking powder, and salt – together followed by thewet ingredients– your egg and water.

The pro-tip here is to thoroughly mix the egg white and yolk until combinedbeforeadding it to your dry ingredients. Doing that will ensure the yolk fully incorporates into the dough, and your tortillas end up uniform in color.

Oh, and make sure to do agenerouspinch of salt! We want these tortilla chips SALTY.

Ok, so once you've added all the ingredients, you'll want to combine everything together with a spatula. Then, when the dough iswell-combined and crumbly, use your hands to roll it into a large dough ball.

At this point, you'll want to divide that larger ball of dough into 4 smaller ones. And to keep each portion equal, I like to use afood scale.

Step 2: Shaping The Keto Chips

Next, sandwich a dough ball between two sheets ofparchment paperso it doesn't stick to your work surface when you'rerolling it out.

You'll want to roll it until it's got a diameter of around 7 inches. Then, to make it into a perfect circle, I use the rim of a 7-inch bowl.

All you have to do is press the rim of the bowl into the top sheet of parchment paper covering the dough, and voila, you've got a perfect circle of dough.

And don't forget tosave the extra dough along the edges. You can combine them to make a fifth dough ball...and more keto tortilla chips!

Anyways, once you've removed the extra dough, you'll want to use a pizza cutter to divide the dough into8 tortilla chips.

Then, remove the excessparchment paperfrom around the chips - so only a small amount remains around them - and cook the tortilla chips in the microwave for about1 minute.

After 1 minute, check and see how the chips are cooking, and then pop them back in for another15-30 seconds.

Now, set them aside to cool, and repeat the process with the rest of the dough balls.

Step 3: Cooking These Low Carb Chips

Now, once you've got all of the low carb chips cooked in your microwave and cooled, you'll want to add your tortilla chips to a non-stick pan or a heated seasoned cast iron one.

Then, sprinkle some salt over them, and cook over medium heat.

These low carb chips tend to cook pretty quicklyso you'll want to keep a close eye on them!

Between 15-30 seconds (depending on what color you want them) per side should do the trick.

And when you flip, be sure to sprinkle some more salt!

Then, when they're done cooking, transfer them to a large Tupperware lined with a paper towel to keep them crunchy as they cool.

That's it!

So easy and so good.

What to Serve with Keto Tortilla Chips

The best way to serve these is obviously with a gooddip.

These would go wonderfully withsalsa,but my personal favorite isguacamole with bacon. Mmm.
