Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Chips and guacamole are a classic for a reason. This recipe replaces high-carb tortilla chips with a homemade, keto-friendly chip made from almond flour and cheese. The chips bake up crisp and sturdy—perfect for dipping—while keeping carbs low.
The guacamole is straightforward: ripe avocados, lime, and pico de gallo come together for a fresh, flavorful contrast to the crunchy chips. The combination is satisfying without relying on processed ingredients or excess carbs.
Because traditional store-bought chips tend to be high in carbs and processed oils, this homemade version is a cleaner, more keto-appropriate option while still delivering the snack experience you want.
What You’ll Need
A short shopping list yields big flavor:
For the Keto Chips
- Almond flour — keeps the chips low-carb

Keto Chips & Guacamole
Ingredients
- 4 cups (400 g) grated mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups (190 g) fine blanched almond flour
- Kosher or fine sea salt
- 6 ripe avocados
- Juice of 2 limes, or to taste
- ¾ cup (190 g) pico de gallo, drained of excess liquid (store bought or homemade)
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Microwave the mozzarella in a large microwave-safe bowl until melted, about 2 minutes. Stir in the almond flour until a thick, cohesive dough forms.
-
Place the dough between two large sheets of parchment paper and roll into a thin, even rectangle about 1/8–1/6 inch thick.
-
Cut the dough into triangles with a pizza cutter or knife and arrange on the prepared sheets. Bake 6 minutes and check: if not golden brown, bake another 5–7 minutes. Remove, sprinkle with salt, and let cool completely to crisp up.
-
Make the guacamole: halve and pit the avocados, scoop the flesh into a bowl and mash with a fork. Stir in lime juice and pico de gallo, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
