Ingredients:
- 2 cups of shredded low-moisture mozzarella
- 1 cup of almond flour
- 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder
- Freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
- Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Melt and Mix: Take a microwave-safe bowl and add the shredded mozzarella to it. Microwave the mozzarella for approximately 1 minute and 30 seconds, pausing to stir every 30 seconds. You want it to melt evenly.
- Combine Ingredients: To the melted mozzarella, add the almond flour, kosher salt, garlic powder, chili powder, and a few cracks of freshly ground black pepper. Use your hands to knead the mixture until it forms a smooth dough ball. This may take a bit of effort, but the result will be worth it.

- Roll Out the Dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and use a rolling pin to flatten it into a rectangle that’s about 1/8 inch thick. This will be your tortilla chip base.
- Cut into Triangles: With a knife or a pizza cutter, carefully cut the dough into triangular shapes. These will be your chips.
- Bake to Perfection: Spread the cut chips evenly on the prepared baking sheets. Bake them in the preheated oven for approximately 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges turn a golden brown and they start to crisp up.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once they’re done, remove the chips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Then, you can serve them with your favorite dips or enjoy them on their own as a delicious and crunchy snack.
