Wow your family and friends, make GRAIN & GLUTEN FREE tortilla chips from scratch! Yes, it’s totally easy, I promise!!

My Homemade Grain Free Tortillas (click HERE for my recipe)
Organic Expeller Pressed Coconut Oil, Tallow, Lard or Palm Oil
Finely Ground Sea Salt

In a low sided skillet (preferable cast iron) heat about 1/2 to 3/4 in of coconut oil/tallow/lard/palm oil over medium/high heat (approximately 350 degrees)… Cut your tortillas into 6 or 8 wedges… Fry tortilla wedges in a single layer, turning so that both sides are lightly brown. Remove crispy chips from the oil and place on a paper towel lined plate, season with sea salt. Enjoy!

Looking for something to scoop up with your homemade chips? Serve them with my queso fundido with chorizo for a warm, cheesy appetizer, or try my Southwest shrimp ceviche with cooked shrimp, avocado and fresh lime.

For pantry storage, use a current, research-tested recipe and follow its exact ingredients, acidity, jar size, headspace, canner type and altitude-adjusted process.

  Arrowroot is NOT cornstarch. Arrowroot is an easily digested starch extracted from the roots of the arrowroot plant, Maranta arundinacea. I’m sorry you are misinformed. So it is totally 100% grain free, Craig.
