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: Almond flour is a keto staple that’s low in carbs and high in healthy fats.
- 1 tablespoon xanthan gum 8 g: This magical ingredient gives the tortillas their flexibility. If you’re new to xanthan gum, think of it as a gluten substitute that helps bind everything together.
- ½ teaspoon baking powder 2 g: A pinch of baking powder gives the tortillas a bit of puffiness, making them light and airy.
- 1 tablespoon water 15 g: Just enough to bring the dough together.
- 1 pinch salt: Enhances the flavor of the tortillas.
- 1 egg: Helps bind the dough and adds a touch of richness.
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Combine Ingredients: Add all of your ingredients to a food processor and process until a ball of dough forms.
- Knead and Rest: Remove the dough from the processor, cover it with plastic wrap, and knead it by hand for just a minute or two. Let it rest for about 15 minutes. This step activates the xanthan gum, giving the tortillas their fantastic flexibility.
Form the Tortillas
- Divide the Dough: Once the dough has rested, unwrap it and divide it into 4 equal-sized balls.
- Roll Out the Dough: Place a ball of dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Flatten it with your hands, then use a rolling pin to roll it out until it’s about as thick as a penny and roughly 6 inches in diameter. You can use a small bowl to help shape the tortillas if needed.
Cook the Tortillas
- Heat the Pan: Get a nonstick pan hot over medium-high heat.
- Cook the Tortillas: Add a tortilla to the pan and cook until it changes from a yellowish hue to white. This is your cue to flip it—don’t wait too long! Once flipped, count to 5, then remove it from the pan immediately to avoid overcooking. This will keep your tortillas soft and pliable.
