Are Classic Tortilla Chips Keto?
No, regular tortilla chips are not keto-friendly. Most tortilla chips are made with corn.
How To Make Keto Tortilla Chips
To make these simple almond flour chips, you need 4 simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry.
Ingredients
- Almond flour – sometimes called almond meal or ground almond – all are similar. I used blanched almond flour, but unblanched almond flour would work well. Only the color of the low-carb tortilla chips would differ. Learn how to choose the best flours for your keto diet.
- Chia seeds – I used black chia seeds. Use the one you have. Any color would work here.
- Spices of your choice – play with the spices and create various low-carb tortilla chip flavors! I love to combine ground cumin, garlic powder, and nutritional yeast – this gives a cheesy flavor while adding lots of vitamins B1 and B2. Other great ideas are smoked paprika, paprika, dried rosemary, curry powder, or even turmeric!
- Olive oil – I also tried the recipe with different healthy oils like avocado oil, almond oil, and hazelnut oil. It is a great way to give a different flavor to the chips.
Instructions
I have 3 simple tips to make crispy almond flour tortilla chips.
The thinner, the better – follow my technique below – I roll my dough between two pieces of parchment paper – this is a must.
Pressing the rolling pin really well to make the dough super thin.
Using parchment paper is not optional. It prevents the dough from sticking to the roller. It makes the dough super thin.
And it makes the transfer of the chips onto the baking tray super easy – all you need to do is to lift the piece of parchment paper and move it. No need to move the rolled dough!
Baking Keto Chips
Baking at hot temperature and checking every minute – usually, thin tortilla chips are all cooked all the way after only 6 minutes, but depending on how thin they are, they may require an extra minute.
I recommend checking the color of the tortilla chips every minute after 6 minutes of baking. Most of the time, they are cooked, but sometimes I roll my chips a bit thicker, and it takes up to 8 minutes.
The color is your indicator. If it is golden brown, then it is ready!
Cooling
Cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet- this makes them extra crispy!
Don’t skip this step or your gluten-free tortilla chip recipe will be too soft!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Find Commercial Keto-Friendly Tortillas?
There are a few healthy brands of chia seed tortilla chips in the supermarket that are low in carbs. However, most store-bought low-carb chips are very expensive!
That’s why making your own keto chips make so much sense. It’s cheap. It’s quick. It’s healthy.
Do I Fathead Dough For Keto Tortilla chips?
No, you don’t!
You’ll find only many great recipes of Keto Fathead Tortilla Chips, but not everyone likes cheese! And if you happen to be on a vegan diet, you need my vegan keto tortilla chip recipe!
My almond flour tortilla chips are made with only plant-based ingredients: Almond Flour, Chia Seeds, Olive Oil, and several spices.

Keto Tortilla Chips
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
- ¼ cup Water
- 1 cup Almond Flour I used blanched almond meal/ground
- 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Spices recommended
- ¼ teaspoon Ground Cumin
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Nutritional Yeast – optional great for a natural cheesy flavor
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, add the chia seeds and water. Stir with a spoon to combine. Set aside for 10 minutes or until a gel-like texture forms.
- In another large mixing bowl, add almond meal, olive oil, spices, and the chia seed gel created before.
- Knead dough by hands, squeezing it between your fingers to incorporate the chia gel into the almond meal until it forms a dough. It shouldn't take more than 1 minute to form a dough ball.
- Place the dough ball between two pieces of parchment paper, and roll out with a rolling pin as thinly as possible.
- Remove the top layer of parchment paper, cut out tortillas chips using a pizza cutter or sharp knife. To make triangle chips (tortilla shaped), simply place a round shape on top of the rolled dough. Cut around the lid, remove the dough outside of the lid – keep it for later to roll again and make more chips! You should end up with a circle of rolled dough. One circle creates about 10 chips, and you will roll 3 circles in total. Then, using the pizza cutter, cut triangles as you would when cutting a round cake.
- Move the dough with parchment paper onto a baking sheet.
- Bake for 6 minutes, check the color, and stop baking as soon as you reach a golden brown color. For very thin chips, it takes 6-7 minutes. For thicker chips, it can take up to 8-9 minutes. I recommend baking for 6 minutes then checking every 1 minute to avoid burning the chips.
- Remove from the oven when golden brown and let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet.
- Use a flat tool like a knife or small spatula to remove/lift the tortillas chips from the parchment paper.
- Serve with my simple avocado dip recipe or dip of your choice.

Hi there, I believe you have a series of typos. It’s “Tortilla” with no “s” at the end. Tortilla Chips will do just fine for this fabulous recipe. Tortillas Chips is grammatically incorrect. Feel free to delete this comment after you read it 🙂
haha I won’t delete and tell you thank you. However note that I French, English is not my first language and that is why this blog have lots of grammatical/funny sentence. I hope you will still enjoy my recipes. XOXO Carine.
This is the best cracker recipe on the internet, and it is low carb! I followed your recipe and I was very pleased with the result. Absolutely delicious! Thumbs up Carine!
how do you get 30 chips from a 16cm circle?
As it says in the recipe you will roll 3 circle, each makes between 10-12 chips. Recipe says “You should end up with a circle of rolled dough. One circle create about 10 chips, and you will roll 3 circle in total.” Enjoy the recipe. XOXO Carine
I love these crackers!I love bread, I love making bread! Then I started Keto! I miss my bread, but these help soooo much. This is the second time I have made them fast and easy and Delicious!!! Thank you so much.
Thanks for the lovely feedback on those keto chips! If you love bread you came to the right place I love sharing keto bread recipes, you may also like the almond crackers recipe or flaxseed crackers recipe then! Enjoy the keto recipes on the blog. XOXO Carine.
What size was the lid you used?
The lid can be any size you want, mine was 16 cm diameter. I hope it helps you make the most delicious low carb tortillas chips. XOXO Carine.
This recipe is a keeper, I don’t know why I waited to long, I love that is dairy/egg free….quick and easy….can see a lot of potential for other uses, thank you!!!

Hi, my husband can’t have chia seeds due to diverticulitis. Can I grind flax seeds before usiing them in the recipe?
It will probably work really well with a flaxegg or an egg! Enjoy the recipe, XOXO Carine.
In place of the seasoning, maybe replace it with popcorn toppers? They have cheese flavored ones, and would still be 0 carb and vegan. Thoughts?
You can use any spices you love! Enjoy, XOXO Carine.
I love making these! I usually make them thicker and cut them in squares for crackers!
That sounds lovely! Thanks for sharing this with us, XOXO Carine.
Hi Carine,
Thank you for sharing this recipe. Now I am living in France and there is not a lot of keto food options around here (or maybe I couldn’t find them). I love your recipes. I made this cracker, one batch with vanilla and another I used matcha. I want some snack and this work well. I made it a bit too thin and it burned so fast. But my husband loves them. Anyways thank you so much.
Merci beaucoup et bonne année.

Thank you so much for the lovely comment. It makes me very happy to read it today. Enjoy the chips and the low carb recipes on the blog. XOXO Carine.
Can you use sesame seeds in lieu of chia?
No I am sorry it won’t work. The chia seeds in this recipe act like an egg. Chia seeds lots of fibres that create a egg like texture when soaked in water. Sesame seeds barely contains fibre and won’t provide the eggy texture required to make the tortillas chips dough comes together. I hope you find some chia seeds to try this delicious recipes. Thanks for trying my blog recipes. XOXO Carine.
