How to make Low Carb Tortilla Chips:
- 1 Low Carb Tortilla
Using a glass plate cut the tortilla into small pieces; shape as desired. Place around the plate, not overlapping. Cook in the microwave for 1 minute. Flip and cook for another 1 minute, then 20-second intervals until crisp, WATCH THEM CLOSELY!
Spray lightly with cooking spray and season as desired with salt, and creole. If you make a dessert hummus you could do sweetener and cinnamon.
It will thicken more as it cools.
enJOY!
