Key Ingredients

Low-carb tortillas. My absolute favorite base. They slice beautifully and fry up into the perfect bubbly, crisp texture.

Avocado oil spray. A high-smoke-point oil. It helps the salt stick perfectly while ensuring your chips get beautifully golden brown.

Sea salt. A kitchen essential. It enhances the natural savory flavors and gives you that classic, irresistible chip finish.

How to Make Keto Tortilla Chips

I’ve included everything below to make this recipe easy to follow at home. For the full printable recipe instructions and ingredient quantities, scroll to the Recipe card at the bottom of this post.

1. Slice each low-carb tortilla into eight equal-sized triangular wedges.
2. Spray both sides of the wedges evenly with avocado oil.
3. Sprinkle them generously with sea salt and your favorite spices.
4. Arrange the wedges in a single, non-overlapping layer.
5. Cook at $350^\circ\text{F}$ ($177^\circ\text{C}$) for 5 to 7 minutes until golden.
6. Remove them promptly and let them cool for maximum crispness.

Pro Tip: Let the chips cool completely on a wire rack for five minutes, as they will crisp up significantly as they sit!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overcrowding the basket: If you overlap the tortilla wedges, they will steam instead of crisping up.
• Using low heat: Too low of a temperature makes the chips tough instead of light and crispy.
• Skipping the oil: Without a light coating of oil, the seasonings will slide right off the chips.

Required Equipment

• Air fryer or baking sheet — cooks the chips quickly and ensures even heat distribution.
• Sharp chef's knife or pizza cutter — slices through the tortillas cleanly without tearing the edges.
• Silicone tongs — makes flipping the hot chips incredibly easy and safe.

Caleb's Recipe Tips

• Try using a pizza cutter to slice multiple tortillas at once to save valuable prep time.
• Add a pinch of smoked paprika and garlic powder for an easy, smoky nacho flavor.
• Watch them closely during the last minute of cooking because they can burn very quickly.
• Brush them with melted grass-fed butter instead of oil for a richer, more decadent taste.

Storage Instructions

Store your cooled chips in an airtight container or a zip-top bag at room temperature. They will remain perfectly crispy for up to 3 to 4 days. However, if they happen to lose their crunch, simply pop them back into a warm oven or air fryer at $350^\circ\text{F}$ ($177^\circ\text{C}$) for 1 to 2 minutes to revive them. Do not freeze these chips, as the moisture will make them soggy upon thawing.
