I’m also going to mess around with another iteration of my keto Dorito Nacho chips, rolling out the fries to as thin as I can, and replacing the 1/2 tsp of salt with the the Nacho flavouring (below) and 1 tbsp of oil.

Update – I need to buy some different paprika, but the recipe is close to being done. 1 tbsp of oil is the right amount to make these taco chip-like crackers (aka Nachos).

Nacho flavouring

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 3/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp red paprika
  • 1.5 tsp chili powder

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together

The seasoning has a lot of carbs, and when I find a good nutrition calculator, I’ll update all my recipe cards. In the meantime, I’m going with 8 net grams for the batch of seasoning.

1/4 of the whole recipe is approximately 185 calories and 4 net grams of carbs.
