Munch on these cheesy, oven-baked Paleo “Doritos” by the handful.
Most Paleo chips are made from veggies, but these Dorito-inspired chips are entirely different! Crafted from a simple combination of flax meal and almond meal, these homemade chips are high in fiber, protein and healthy fat. Mix with a little water, and you’ll have an impossibly EASY dough that comes together in only 5 minutes!
Once you have a nice workable dough, you’ll roll them out into small circles and slice them into triangles with a pizza cutter, so they resemble the Doritos shape we all know and love. Tip: A rolling pin comes in handy for rolling out the dough, but a sturdy can or bottle from the pantry works just as well!

The chips bake for about 10 minutes to crisp up. Then, they’re turned into Paleo Doritos when tossed with a smoky and cheesy coating of onion and garlic powders, nutritional yeast and paprika. The easiest way to do this is by mixing the spice blend in a Mason jar. Then, sprinkle each just-cooled chip with lime juice before dunking the chips into the jar. Shake thoroughly to coat. The lime juice helps the spices stick while adding a nice tangy flavor!
These Paleo Doritos are great for adding to packed lunches, munching on the go, or enjoying as an afternoon snack with a side of chunky salsa. Keep them fresh by storing them in a sealed container for up to 2 days.
Tip: You can substitute the almond meal with psyllium husks or ground chia.
