Tortilla Chips That Are Lower Carb and Fantastic

December 13, 20232 min read

First, a confession ... My name is Rebecca. I am a keto coach. And I still love (and eat!) warm tortilla chips.

There, I admitted it! I'm just not one who can take pork rinds to a Mexican restaurant and eat them instead of those warm, salty tortilla chips. (But I DO tend to make other lower carb choices at that restaurant so that I can enjoy those tortilla chips without totally wrecking my progress.)

If I'm at home and have time, though, I prefer to make my own, lower carb tortilla chips. Then I can eat even more of them! (See, it's all about balance!)

Here's what I do:

I start with lower carb flour tortillas, such as Joseph's Lavash Flax, Oat Bran, and Whole Wheat Bread or Mission Zero Net Carbs Original tortillas.* (Remember, I don't follow strict keto. So if you do, you should know that these aren't perfect choices. I don't mess up good for perfect.) I use a pizza cutter to slice them into triangles and spread them on a cookie sheet.

Spray one side with olive oil and sprinkle with pink Himalayan salt. Bake in the oven (@ 350-375) until slightly golden brown. Turn over and repeat the process with oil, salt, and heat (it won't take as long on this side). I like to cook mine until they are more crispy than soft ... but they aren't super dark brown. How long you cook them (and exact temperature) will depend on the tortillas you use, your oven, and your personal preference.

Other options: You may prefer corn tortillas. You may also want to experiment with adding a little lime juice, garlic salt, cumin, paprika, or other seasonings. I usually keep mine basic, as I make homemade guacamole (see my WOW-camole recipe here!) that has pretty intense flavor.

*These are Amazon links so you can see the products (and their ingredient lists). As Amazon Associate, we earn from qualified orders. But I usually buy mine locally at a lower price. There are several different versions of both. I like the ones specified for their lower carb count (although they both admittedly have less than ideal ingredients). Joseph's has other products that look and taste pretty similar, but they are higher in carb so you have to carefully read the labels. If you're making a lot, then Joseph's is a good option because each piece of "bread" is a long rectangle which makes lots of chips. The Mission ones I've used are ridiculously small (I think they are designed for street tacos, but they would be pretty small even for that), but that size actually works great for making a smaller amount of tortilla chips (great for portion control!).

Empowerment. Make women stronger and more confident. Promote their self worth and their ability to make their own choices.


Rebecca and Bridgette were friends first and business partners second.


The 21 Day Real Life Keto Challenge began as a dream to help give women a place to learn the keto lifestyle in small daily steps and to help encourage women to be the best version of themselves.


This has led us to today where thousands of women have gone through the challenge. Some several times over.


My name is Susan. I am a wife, a mother, a woman over 50. I first saw an ad for the challenge in November of 2020. Here I was, at my highest ever weight, my son had just gotten engaged. I knew that I needed something but I didn’t know what. Up to this point I had never answered a Facebook ad or bought anything over Facebook. I watched a video on the ad and thought to myself, “I could be friends with these two. I think they can help me” So I signed up and paid my entry fee.


That first day I was scared. I didn’t know what to expect. I just wanted to learn a little about keto. I had heard some stuff but was on the fence if this was really a lifestyle that I could follow long term. After that first week I was all in.


The community has changed my life for the better. I now have changed every aspect of not only how I look at food but what I think about myself. The challenge showed me that it’s not just about weight. It’s also how I felt on a day to day basis.


We as women are taught many bad habits concerning our appearance and going through the challenge changes all of that.


“We started this to help people with their physical health but it quickly became clear that the keto diet was just a tool to start conversations and awareness leading to an overall journey,” says Rebecca Hannifan, co-founder.


“We know how overwhelming the keto lifestyle is for people and we wanted to help everyone know that the benefits of ketosis are attainable even without perfect tracking.” says Bridgette Campbell, co-founder. “I love seeing how our community grows with ladies who learn to embrace themselves and others on their journey toward 1% better.”


“We wanted to break through the noise and confusion to give people small simple steps to move toward better and give them permission to select a “less than perfect” lifestyle that serves them on that journey.”


So, if you are ready to join us here in the KETO-SIStas world we would love to have you.
