INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:
LOW-CARB TORTILLAS:
- We utilize low-carb tortillas because they create the crispy base while keeping the recipe keto-friendly. As a substitute, you can use almond flour tortillas, coconut flour tortillas, or cheese wraps.
OLIVE OIL SPRAY:
- Olive oil spray is used to help the chips crisp up and achieve a golden texture. Instead, you can use avocado oil spray, melted butter, or coconut oil spray.
GARLIC POWDER:
- Garlic powder delivers a strong, savory flavor throughout the chips. As an alternative, you can use onion powder, fresh minced garlic, or garlic granules.
RANCH/TACO SEASONING:
- We use ranch or taco seasoning to add bold, zesty flavor. You can replace it with a homemade keto spice mix or Italian seasoning.
PARMESAN CHEESE:
- A crisp texture and a nutty, salty flavor are added with Parmesan cheese. Instead, you can use Pecorino Romano, aged cheddar powder, or nutritional yeast.
NUTRITIONAL YEAST:
- This component boosts the umami and cheesy flavor. It can be replaced with extra Parmesan cheese, cheese powder, or simply omitted.
