Easy Keto Tortilla Chips Recipe
Description
The Easy Keto Tortilla Chips Recipe combines shredded mozzarella cheese with almond flour and cream cheese, microwaved to help meld the ingredients into a dough. After incorporating an egg and a mix of spices including cumin, coriander, cilantro, chili powder, and salt, the dough is rolled thin between parchment sheets. Baking at a high temperature browns and firms the dough, creating a sturdy base resembling tortilla chips.
The dough is flipped during baking to brown both sides evenly. Once partially baked, it’s removed from the oven and cut into triangles with a pizza slicer. These pieces are baked again briefly to achieve a crunchy, chip-like texture. The resulting chips feature the sharpness and chewiness of mozzarella balanced with the mild nuttiness of almond flour and aromatic spices.
These keto tortilla chips suit low-carb diets and can accompany dips or be a snack on their own, providing a grain-free alternative to traditional corn or flour tortilla chips. Careful attention to baking times and dough thickness is necessary to avoid burning due to cheese's nature.
