Keto Tortilla Chips

Step by Step Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, unflavored whey protein powder, xanthan gum and salt. Stir in the hot water and optional corn tortilla extract until a dough forms.

2. 2

   Place dough in between two sheets of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll out in all directions (attempting to form a rectangle shape) until the dough is very thin. The thinner the dough, the crispier the chip. To easily keep the dough from sticking to the parchment paper, carefully peel away the top parchment paper. Then replace and flip over. Then remove the new parchment paper on top. Now the dough will remove easily when you cut your shapes.

3. 3

   Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the dough into triangles. Let the pieces stand for several minutes while you prepare and heat the oil.

4. 4

   Add enough avocado oil to a large skillet to cover the triangles as they fry, leaving plenty of room above the oil. Heat over medium heat. Test a small piece of dough first: it should bubble and gradually turn golden, not darken immediately. Add a few triangles without crowding and fry until golden brown, turning carefully if needed. Adjust the heat between batches to prevent burning.

5. 5

   Once the chips are golden brown, remove them using a slotted spatula or spoon and place on a paper towel lined plate or baking sheet. Lightly season with salt.
