  6. Bake the tortilla chips for 12-15 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the sheet completely.

Notes:

Flavor Variations

  • Nacho Cheese– Sub out 1/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese with pepper jack cheese or Colby cheese. 
  • Cool Ranch– Sprinkle salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and garlic powder. 
  • Spicy Nachos– Add cayenne pepper to the dough and sprinkle the cooked chips with a mix of paprika and sea salt.
  • Lime and Black Pepper– Add some lime juice to the dough and sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning. 
  • Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips- Mix some cinnamon and monk fruit sweetener or erythritol into the dough. Once the tortilla chips are cooked, sprinkle more cinnamon over the tops. 

How to store keto chips

Homemade keto chips must be stored in a sealed container, at room temperature. They will keep fresh for at least 1 week, usually longer.

 I don’t recommend refrigerating or freezing the chips, as it will no longer have a crispy crunchy texture. 

There is also a recipe for cheese chips on the website you might want to try.
