The fiery seasoning blend, featuring chili powder, habanero powder, and citrus electrolyte drink mix, captures the tangy, spicy essence of the original snack.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chips:

2/3 cup almond flour (superfine works best)
1 tablespoon unflavored protein powder
1 tablespoon xanthan gum
½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons hot water
Avocado oil for frying (approximately 1 cup)

For the Seasoning:

1 teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon citrus electrolyte drink mix
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon habanero powder

Instructions

Make Dough for Rolled Chips: In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, protein powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Stir thoroughly. Add hot water and mix until a cohesive dough forms. Use your hands to knead if needed.
Roll Out Dough: Place dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it into a thin rectangle, about 1/16-inch thick. Flip and reset the parchment periodically to prevent sticking.
Punch Out Circles and Roll: Use a small biscuit cutter or cup rim to cut circles. Roll each circle around a wooden spoon handle or chopstick to form tubes. Place seam-side down on parchment paper.
Fry Rolled Chips: Heat avocado oil in a skillet to 350°F. Fry chips in batches for 60-90 seconds until golden. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Make Takis Seasoning: In a small bowl, mix chili powder, citrus electrolyte drink mix, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and habanero powder.
Dust the Takis with Seasoning: Place warm chips in a zip-top bag or bowl. Add seasoning and gently shake or toss until evenly coated.

Notes

Tips & Tricks for Perfect Keto Takis:

Use Superfine Almond Flour: It creates a smoother dough and better texture for the chips.
Work Quickly with Dough: If it dries out, dampen your fingertips slightly to help seal the edges when rolling.
Maintain Oil Temperature: Keep oil at 350°F to avoid soggy or burnt chips.
Season While Warm: The residual heat helps the seasoning adhere better to the chips.
Adjust Spice Level: Modify habanero powder to suit your heat tolerance.
