Keto Doritos

It’s hard to pass up Doritos. Those cheesy tortilla chips are kryptonite. Luckily, I found a way to turn a snack food favorite into a keto version. Just like I did with Twinkies, tortilla chips and Hostess cupcakes, we now have a low carb nacho chip to snack on.

Keto doritos are the perfect substitute went you want to crunch on something cheese. And of course, these keto chips will leave your hands with the wonderful cheesy residue – perfect for licking!

You only need a few ingredients to make these and they really only take about 10-15 minutes to make. Using my base keto tortilla chip recipe, we can turn these low carb chips into Doritos with the addition of a few spices and seasonings.

1. Make keto tortilla chips by combining almond flour, protein powder, xanthan gum, salt and water.
2. Roll dough into a very thin sheet using a rolling pin.
3. Cut into triangle shapes.
4. Fry in avocado oil until golden. Remove and place on a paper towel lined plate.
5. Make Doritos nacho seasoning by combining cheddar cheese powder, chili powder, smoked paprika and salt.
6. Add chips to a plastic bag or bowl and add nacho seasoning.
7. Toss to coat each chip with nacho flavoring.

Key ingredients

• Almond flour – The almond flour provides substance to our chips. It also creates a beautiful golden coloring when it is fried in oil.
• Protein powder – A necessary ingredient to help crisp up the chips. Try to look for a low carb unflavored protein powder. I used a zero carb protein powder from Isopure.
• Xanthan gum – Helps to hold the dough together especially when rolling out into a thin layer. That way you can roll the dough super thin without the dough tearing easily.
• Cheddar cheese powder – Provides the cheesy flavoring to these nacho cheese doritos.
• Chili powder – Gives these low carb doritos a slight spicy flavor.
• Smoked paprika – This is the key ingredient to getting that authentic Doritos nacho flavor.
