Cooking Tips & Tricks for Easy Low-Carb Tortilla Chips (Keto)

• Leftover tortilla chips? Store in an airtight container for 1-2 days at room temperature
• Make ahead? Keto tortilla chips are their best and crispiest on the day that they are made but will keep for a day or 2
• Gluten-free? Most low-carb tortillas are NOT gluten-free so be sure to check labels. Try the Siete brand almond flour tortillas which can sometimes be found by searching on Amazon.

CAN I EAT TORTILLA CHIPS ON A LOW-CARB DIET?

Regular tortilla chips are off limits on a low-carb or keto diet because they contain high amounts of carbohydrates. As carbohydrates are limited on a low-carb diet to between 20-50g net carbs per day, eating tortilla chips would blow out your daily allowance. There is, however, a simple low-carb alternative. Try making your own simply by baking some oiled low-carb tortillas in the oven at 350F (180c) for 8-10 minutes.

IS THERE A LOW-CARB TORTILLA?

Yes, there are several low-carb tortillas available to purchase. Regular flour and corn tortillas contain 12-15g net carbs each so are not particularly low-carb. Store-bought low-carb tortillas range from 3-6g net carbs per tortilla.

Look for brands such as La Tortilla Factory, Mission, Mama Lupe and Le Banderita.

HOW MANY CARBS ARE IN TORTILLA CHIPS?

Our lazy, low-carb version has 6g of net carbs for one tortilla made into chips.
