Protein Sparing Tortilla Chips

I love a tender filet mignon, but I understand that somedays you want to hit your protein macro, but you aren’t feeling like meat!

Do not worry my friends! I have your taste buds in mind!

My protein sparing tortilla chips recipe is perfect for hitting your protein goal without adding fat!

HOW TO MAKE PROTEIN SPARING TORTILLA CHIPS 

To make my protein sparing tortilla chips, I used Further Food gelatin!

Further Food gelatin is sourced from the highest quality, grass-fed, pasture-raised, hormone-free, and antibiotic free bovine.

Adding Further Food Gelatin works perfectly for making my protein sparing tortilla chips extra delicious and chewy! Do not skip adding the gelatin! It adds a texture just like a real tortilla chips!

FOR SERVING:

  • Salsa
  • Protein Sparing Sour Cream Click HERE

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Spray the parchment with avocado oil spray.
  • Place the egg whites, gelatin, cream of tartar, salt and allulose in a medium bowl.
  • Use a hand mixer on high and whip the whites until double in size and there are SOFT peaks. Add the egg white powder and blend until just combined. (NOTE: If you want a thinner wrap like EggLife wraps, just mix until combined then pour onto a pan and fry until cooked).
  • Use a spatula to spread the 1/2 of the mixture out onto each of the prepared baking sheets as thin as you can, about 1/8 inch thick.
  • Place into the oven to bake for 6-8 minutes or until cooked though.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Once cool, gently peel the paper off. And set the parchment lined baking sheet aside.
  • Place the protein sparing tortilla onto a cutting board and use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the wrap into tortilla chip shapes.
  • Place the tortilla chip pieces back onto the parchment paper. Spray with avocado oil spray and sprinkle with salt (or seasonings). Bake in a 200 degree F oven for 1 hour or until completely dry and crisp. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely (the protein sparing tortilla chips will crisp up as they cool).
  • Dip into salsa or my protein sparing sour cream (recipe is in my Pure Protein cookbook!)

TESTIMONY OF THE DAY

“AAAH Maria! So after a week of pure protein (which was MUCH easier than I’d imagined) I lost almost 12 lbs, and I have not taken my acid reflux meds in 3 days

You are a miracle worker. I have been on those (and a host of other meds) for 8+ years!

Love you! Nicole”

  • Hi Maria – love your creativity in your posts (hard to come by these days!) Could I sub guar gum for the gelatin?

  • Kati says:

    Does the powdered allulose have to be used in the recipe for it to turn out? What does allulose do? I am anxious about trying new food substances and am not sure what this is.

    Thank you!

  • Marilyn J Carini says:

    Would a little corn extract make these taste like corn chips?

  • Vivian says:

    I’ve been keto since 2018. Yea! Less inflammation. Weight loss 47 lbs. still keto with an increased emphasis on more meat. One thing I have missed is Mexican chips. These are the bomb!
    I don’t mind giving up breads and other wraps, but these fulfill a desire to feel like I am eating my Mexican chips again.
    They stayed fresh and crispy in a ziplock bag in the refrigerator for the 4 days they lasted. Thank you so much.

  • Jeannie Rodbell says:

    Love these!!! Thank you for this. I add extra salt on the outside and made them very thin, so it’s like a potato chip but not!

  • Jeanne says:

    These sound delicious, but I’m a little confused. The instructions say to preheat the oven to 325 degrees F; but then when it comes to baking them, it states to bake them at only 200 degrees F. Is that an error, or am I supposed to preheat the oven to 325 F, and then lower it to 200F before I place the pans in the oven. Please clarify for me. Thanks.

  • Oren Avinoam says:

    Hello! Is there anyway to make this recipe work without liquid egg whites? Can I sub them for more powdered egg whites and some water? I tried doing that and it didn’t work out the best (maybe I had the ratios wrong..)…thanks!

  • Tiernan says:

    These came out of the oven nice and crisp, and then got very soft when they cooled. What went wrong?
