I created this recipe for the Best Low-Carb Tortilla Chips out of desperation. Spooning guacamole over a salad, eating dip on veggies instead of chips, and eating salsa on salad was just getting old.

Don’t get me wrong, all of these choices were delicious and I’m not giving them up. It’s just that sometimes I really crave tortilla chips!

We based this recipe on our recipe for tortillas. In fact, we use the same mozzarella dough. The difference is in what we do with the dough.

Instead of rolling the dough into circles for tortillas, we roll the dough a bit thinner and cut it into triangles. Then, we bake the triangles a bit longer to make them crispier than the tortillas. The result is a chip you can really dip!

To get the cute little curves on these chips, we tucked the unbaked chips between cups on the bottom of a non-stick mini-muffin pan. This works, and I love the look, but I find that baking the chips flat allows them to crisp a bit more evenly and gives a superior crunch.

These chips are easy to flavor any way you like. We add a bit of chili powder to give them a bit of spice. You could leave the chili powder out to give a more blank canvas for your dip. Have fun with this recipe and try different seasonings.

Adding my Homemade Taco Seasoning would also add a good zing and make them more flavorful–especially if you want to eat them without a dip. 

When using them to scoop up a flavorful dip, I prefer not to flavor them as much. This lets them be a blank canvas and allows the flavor of the dip to shine through.

This chips make great snacks, but I also like to serve them alongside my Mexican food recipes, such as my Low-Carb Crustless Taco Pie and my Low-Carb Quesadillas

This recipe for the Best Low-Carb Tortilla Chips changes low-carb snacking. Scoop up your favorite guacamole, low-carb cucumber salsa, or may this BLT Dip! These chips are easy to make and so fun to eat! Enjoy!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375º F. Cut 2 pieces of parchment about 20 inches long. Have a rolling pin and 2 cookie sheets available.
  2. Prepare a double boiler. A pot partially filled with water with a mixing bowl that fits on top works well for this purpose. Over high heat, bring the water in the pot to a simmer, then turn heat to low.
  3. In the bowl part of the double boiler, add the cheese, almond flour, chili powder (if using), and salt. Using caution to not to get burned by the steam, place the bowl over the pot of simmering water. I use a silicone mitten to hold the bowl. Stir ingredients constantly.
  4. As the cheese melts, the ingredients will start to develop a doughy appearance. When it starts to hold together in a ball, turn it out onto a piece of parchment paper.
  5. While the dough is hot, but not hot enough to burn your hands, kneed the dough to completely mix the ingredients.
  6. Divide the dough into 2 equal sections.
  7. Form one section into a ball and place on a piece of parchment paper. Pat into a rectangular shape, then cover with another piece of parchment. Using the rolling pin, roll into about a 9 inch by 15 inch rectangle. Dough should be fairly thin. You may need to turn the dough and straighten the parchment if it wrinkles. Remove the top piece of parchment and place the bottom piece of parchment containing the dough on a a cutting board. Using a pizza cutter, cut dough into squares or triangles. Slide the parchment with the triangles onto the cookie sheet. Arrange the triangles of dough so they are at least 1/2 inch away from each other. Set aside.
  8. Repeat for the second ball of dough.
  9. Place the cookie sheets with the tortilla chips in the oven. Bake for 5-8 minutes or until the centers turn golden brown. Watch them carefully as it is easy to burn them.
  10. Remove them from oven and slide them onto a cooling rack using a spatula.
  11. Chips will become crunchier as they cool.
