Homemade Paleo Tortilla Chips

These all-natural, homemade tortilla chips are an excellent healthy option to serve with guacamole and salsa. I found this recipe on Paleogrubs.com. The ingredients and directions are as follows.

Ingredients;

1 cup almond flour
1 egg white
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. paprika

Directions;

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.  In a large bowl combine all of the ingredients together until they form an even dough.

Roll out the dough between two pieces of parchment paper, as thinly as possible.  Remove the top layer of  parchment paper.  Cut the dough into desired shapes for chips with a pizza cutter.

Move the dough, with the parchment paper, onto a baking sheet.  Bake for 11-13 minutes, until golden brown.  Remove from the oven and let cool 5 minutes.

Use a spatula to remove the chips from the paper.  Serve with fresh guacamole and salsa.


Enjoy!!
