Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 1 small Jalapeño, diced
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the almond flour, shredded mozzarella, and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese.
Microwave on high for about 1 minute, until the cheese melts. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Add the egg, salt, cumin, and paprika to the mixture and knead until a dough forms.
Place the dough between two large pieces of parchment paper and roll it out until it's about 1/8 inch thick.
Cut the dough into triangles to form 'chips' and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and heavy cream.
Stir continuously until the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the salsa, diced jalapeño, garlic powder, and onion powder, stirring well to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Pour the queso into a serving bowl and sprinkle the chopped cilantro on top.
Serve the warm queso with the cooled low-carb chips.
