About this recipe
Who loves a crispy snack? I do! When I found the recipe for keto tortilla chips, I was stunned by how easy they are to make! After a bit of fiddling, I came up with an even easier recipe.
The best part is that they are so versatile. You can pick any flavour you like and give it a try. They are also crunchy and perfect to dip into salsa or guacamole. And when you want to turn them into a full meal, all you have to do is combine everything into a Tortilla Chips Plate.
Tortilla Chips
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup almond flour
- 1 tbsp Xanthan gum
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp paprika powder
- 50 g Emmental cheese (from a block)
- 3-4 tbsp hot water
- oil for frying (sunflower or avocado oil)
Instructions
- Mix the flour, Xanthan gum, salt and paprika powder together.
- Grate the Emmental into small flakes. This is important so they spread out better in the dough. Stir the cheese into the other dry ingredients.
- Add 3 tablespoons of hot water and stir the mix fast with a spoon. Then knead it for a few minutes with your hand. Be careful with the hot water. The dough should be smooth so you can squish it flat without it breaking apart. Add more water if needed. Always one tablespoon at a time.
- Place a baking sheet or a silicon baking sheet on the table. Press the dough plat onto this sheet. Then cover it with another baking sheet and roll out the dough between the sheets. Aim for a rectangle.
- When the dough is about 2-3mm thick, stop rolling. Remove the top sheet and cut the dough either into triangles or any other shape you want. You can even have some fun with it and use cookie cutters.
- Pour some oil into a pan and turn your stove to medium high. For example, if your setting goes up to ten, you want it at a seven. if it goes up to five, you want a three or a four. While you wait for the oil to heat up, prepare a plate or a board for the finished tortillas. Cover it with kitchen paper.
- Test if the oil is hot enough. Hold a wooden spoon into the oil. If bubbles form at the edge of the spoon the oil is ready. Carefully add the tortillas into the oil. Leave them for about a minute, then flip them once and leave them for another minute. Take the finished tortillas out and place them onto the kitchen paper. Get more.
Notes
Variations
Vegan
You can absolutely leave out the cheese. The tortilla chips will be just as crunchy and tasty without it.
Spices
Use different spices and try mixed spices for different flavours, like bbq. Onion powder gives you a cheese and onion flavour. Garlic powder tastes nice too with the mix in the recipe. Add as much chilly as you like for spicier chips.
