Can I eat tortilla chips on keto?

Traditional tortilla chips made from corn or flour are not keto-friendly due to their high carb content—typically around 15–20 grams of carbs per serving . However, keto tortilla chips , made with low-carb ingredients like almond flour and cheese, are a perfect substitute. They allow you to enjoy the crunch and flavor without kicking yourself out of ketosis.

Which chips are keto friendly?

Keto-friendly chips are those made with low-carb, high-fat ingredients that align with keto macros. Top choices include: Homemade keto tortilla chips (almond flour & cheese) Cheese crisps Pork rinds Veggie-based chips like kale or zucchini (baked) When shopping for store-bought chips, always check the label. Look for net carbs under 4g per serving and avoid ingredients like tapioca starch, potato fiber, or added sugars.

Are the keto tortillas actually keto?

Not all products labeled “keto tortillas” are truly keto. Some contain hidden starches or sugars that increase the carb count. True keto tortillas should be made from almond flour, coconut flour, flaxseed , or egg-based mixtures with net carbs under 5g per wrap. Always check the ingredient list and nutrition label before assuming they're safe for your diet.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, add the almond flour and set it aside. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the mozzarella cheese by microwaving it for 1–2 minutes until smooth and gooey.
Pour the melted cheese into the bowl with the almond flour and mix thoroughly until a thick dough forms.
Lay a sheet of parchment paper on your countertop and place the dough ball in the center. Flatten it slightly with your hands, then cover it with another sheet of parchment.
Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out evenly until it’s about 1/6 inch thick.
With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into triangle shapes to resemble classic tortilla chips.
Arrange the chips on your prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crisp.
Let the chips cool on the baking sheet to firm up before serving.
