2-Ingredient Keto Tortilla Chips

These 2-Ingredient Keto Tortilla Chips are a crispy, low-carb alternative to traditional corn tortilla chips. Instead of corn or flour, this keto version uses almond flour and melted mozzarella cheese to create a dough that bakes into crunchy chip-style triangles.

The melted cheese binds the almond flour into a pliable dough that can be rolled thin, cut into triangles, and baked until golden and crisp. The result is a satisfying snack that tastes surprisingly similar to traditional tortilla chips but with far fewer carbs.

These chips are perfect for dipping in guacamole, salsa, or queso and can also be used to make keto nachos.
