Easy Keto Tortilla Chips Recipe
This recipe produces keto-friendly tortilla chips made from a dough of shredded mozzarella, almond flour, cream cheese, egg, and spices. Baked until browned and crispy, then cut and baked again, the chips offer a crunchy texture without traditional corn or flour tortillas. The cumin, coriander, cilantro, and chili powders add layered seasoning that complements the cheesy almond base.
