Doritos Style Chips
Pictured: Sour cream and onion flavor didn’t last long near my taste testers.
When you left your high-carb lifestyle, you didn’t have to leave crunch behind. Now, with the nacho chip recipe and some popcorn salts, you can savor the flavor of Doritos and celebrate like it was 1999 (and not your waistline measurements).
These chips travel well in lunches and can be stored at room temperature in a loose bag or an open container for up to a week. With so many flavors of popcorn seasoning (see below), you can go from zippy to zesty, to tangy to sweet in an instant to change a mood, and make various single-serving sized of flavored chips to please even the pickiest bunch.
Low-carb, gluten-free and corn-free (this could change with the seasoning, so read labels!), you can use up that extra zucchini from the garden, or pop open a frozen bag of cauliflower and take your tastebuds to town.
Your only regret? You’ll wish you’d made more.
