AIP Grain-Free Tortilla Chips

• 1/4 cup cassava flour

• 1/4 cup tigernut flour (non-AIP use almond meal if tolerated)

• 2 tbsp nutritional yeast

• 1.5 tbsp garlic powder

• 2 tbsp dried oregano

• 2 tbsp dried thyme

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 2/3 cup hot water

• salt

Instructions

AIP Grain-Free Tortilla Chips (12 minutes) :

1. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees fan bake.

2. Place all the dry ingredients into a large bowl and stir together. Pour in the olive oil and hot water, then mix the dough until well combined.

3. Split the dough into two. Place one lot of dough between two sheets of baking paper and use a rolling pin to roll until very flat. If you have not rolled the dough flat enough they will be chewy and take longer to cook.

4. Carefully remove the top layer of baking paper and score lines into the dough so they break into crackers when cooked. Transfer the baking sheet with dough on to a tray.

5. Repeat with the left over cracker dough, then place both trays into the oven.

6. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes until golden and crunchy. Gently snap along lines into nachos.

Nacho mix :

1. In a large pan or wok, heat the olive oil and brown the mince. Breaking it up as it cooks.

2. Add the garlic, herbs, onion and carrot. When the mince is almost cooked add the courgette.

3. Once cooked reduce to a low heat and stir through the AIP Cheese Sauce. Season with salt.

4. To serve, place the mince in a bowl topped with freshly diced avocado, coriander, natural coconut yoghurt and nutritional yeast, and a side of AIP Grain-free Tortilla Chips.
