These Keto Tortillas are made with almond flour! Thishomemade low carb tortilla recipe is so easy to make, you will think tiwce about buying tortillas ever again.

Ingredients

1 cup Blanched almond flour (112 g)
1 tablespoon Xanthan gum (8 g)
½ Teaspoon baking powder (2 g)
1 tablespoon water (15 g)
1 pinch salt
1 egg

Instructions

Add all of your ingredients to your food processor, and process until a ball of doughforms. Now removethe dough from the processor and cover it with plastic wrap. Knead itfor just a minute or two with your hands, and then let it rest for about 15minutes.
The kneading and resting process will just help activate the xanthan gum and givethe tortillas they’re fantastic bendability. Once thedough is done resting, you can unwrap it, and split it up into 4 equal-sizedsmaller balls of dough. Then, whenyou form the smaller balls of dough, you’ll want to start forming your tortillashells.
So, lay a sheet of parchment paper on your work surface area, add one of the balls, andthen cover it with another sheet of paper. Thetortilla dough can be quite sticky and using the paper is a big help in dealingwith that, so don’t skip out on it. Now,flatten the ball of dough with your hands, and once it’s flat use a rolling pin to finish rolling the dough out.
Ideally,the dough should be about as thick as a penny, and at least 6 inches wide by 6 inches long. Using asmall bowl that’s about 6 inches in diameter to test and see if you’ve rolledthe dough out enough. When you’vegot more dough than the bowl, remove the top layer of parchment paper and placethe bowl back on the dough.
Now use a knife to trace around the edges of the bowl. Once you’vedone that, remove and save the extra dough. Now we’reall set to cook the tortillas!
Get out a nonstick pan, turn your stove up to medium-high, and get the pan hot. Once thepan is hot add the tortilla, and cook until the yellow-ish hue of it turns white (watch the video for a good visual guide)
When the entire tortilla turns this lighter color, that’s when you’ll want to give it aflip. Now, onceyou flip it, just count to 5 and remove it from the pan immediately.
This willensure you don’t overcook the tortilla, and that it will be bendable andpliable.
If you do,there’s a good chance you’ll overcook it.
