 It's football season! Being from Southern California we (my family) support the San Diego Chargers, but we also have long standing football rivalry in the home. I am a Dallas fan and the Hubs is a Washington fan. Luckily, we're good natured people and make it a friendly rivalry and not die hard! My daughter could care less about the games on t.v., but my son is starting to pay attention and celebrate the touchdowns and groan at the hard hits! It's pretty cute. I remember doing the same thing as a kid while watching the games with my Dad.

Anyway, when we watch football we like to have our low carb snacks, and when I say snacks, I mean chips and guacamole. Admittedly, I'm a guacamole purist. A little bit of lime, a little bit of salt, a touch of garlic and I'm a happy girl!  Then I can have-at-'em with my chips; like these Low Carb Tortilla Chips! Don't they look great? They are!

My kids love chips! It must be the crunch factor because they could eat a whole family-sized bag of tortilla chips without batting an eye. We don't buy tortilla chips very often because many of them are not gluten-free or grain-free. We have to watch those food labels!

Whether you are avoiding gluten or grains out of necessity or out of choice, these Low Carb Chile Limon Chips are for you. They're made with almond flour which keeps the carb count low, so if you're following a low-carb diet, you'll be happy to know that you can enjoy chips once again. And let me tell you that they are so full of flavor you may have a hard time putting them down!

I confess. I did not invent the seasoning combination for these chili-lime chips. I cheated. Hey, I'm a busy mom so sue me. I used Mrs. Dash Salt Free Fiesta-Lime Seasoning Blend. No, I don't get paid for saying that. I'm just starting out in the blogosphere and don't get paid by anybody! But you could easily sub your favorite seasoning or come up with your own to flavor your chips.

I have included a special trick that will save you some time. Do you see the tortilla press above? It makes the process so easy you'll wonder why you hadn't thought of it before. Wait. You didn't. It was me. Just kidding. You'll thank me. Now, go make some low carb tortilla chips.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour 4 ounces
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime No Salt Seasoning (or your favorite)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Measure the almond flour, salt and Fiesta Lime seasoning powder into a medium bowl and thoroughly whisk together, breaking up any lumps. Taste a pinch of the mixture to check your seasoning level. Adjust. Beat the egg and add it to the almond flour mixture. Mix with a spatula until completely combined. You should have a somewhat stiff and a little bit sticky dough.
  • Divide the dough into four portions and roll each one into a ball. With a rolling pin roll the dough into a circle like making a pie crust. To prevent sticking, roll the dough between two oiled sheets of parchment paper.
  • Transfer the circle of dough to a parchment lined sheet pan and cut each round into six triangular pieces with a pizza cutter or a knife. I can only get two rounds on a sheet pan at a time. Bake until browned and crisp - about 15-20 minutes. Cool completely. The chips will be dark in color because of the chili powder in the seasoning.
  • Makes 24 chips at 2.94 net carbs per 6 chips (or ¼ of the recipe)

Notes

Using a tortilla press instead of a rolling pin to make these Low Carb Chile-Lime Chips will cut your work time in half!

    Hi Kim,
    How do you store these chips & how long do they stay crisp? I’m wondering how far in advance I can make these :)

      Hi Alexandra. Store them in an airtight container and keep them at room temperature. They will stay crisp for a week or more. You can crisp them up by putting them in a low oven for several minutes and then letting them cool. -Kim

    These crackers have become the favourite with my daughters and I. Some I’ve added flax seeds, some with a bit of Parmesan...your recipe is fabulous!

    So far the best low carb solution I have seen for chips. I've been checking them every 3-5 minutes in an attempt not to burn them. What should the approximate cook time be?

      Hi Amy, thank you. I'm trying to remember... I think 15-20 minutes depending on how thick you made the chips. They will crisp-up once they are completely cooled. -Kim

    I don't see chili powder in your ingredient list. Are you talking about the Mrs. Dash lime seasoning? The instructions say to add salt and chili powder and doesn't say anything about the Mrs. Dash. Are you using the Mrs. Dash instead of chili powder?

      I'm sorry Becka. Yes, it is the Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime seasoning. I will change the wording straight away. Thanks for letting me know! -Kim
