Low Carb Tortillas
Do you miss tortillas? Then check out these simple low carb tortillas that are so easy to make. You just mix the ingredients together and cook!
I miss tortillas and all the things you can make out of tortillas! I love making chicken quesadillas. I love eating tortilla chips (click here if you want to try my low carb tortilla chip recipe) For lunch today I made some low carb gluten free tortillas. I have tried various recipes for making low carb tortillas but each of them has their faults. Some turn out too cracker like and you can’t actually wrap them like a tortilla.
These tortillas are adapted from Mark’s Daily Apple recipe for Primal Tex-Mex Tortillas. The tortillas taste slightly like a crepe so I added a variety of flours to stiffen the wrap and make it more tortilla like. What I like most about this recipe is its simplicity. There is no dough to make and roll out. You just mix the ingredients together and cook!
These are keto friendly tortillas because there are no starches used in the batter. I do have a fantastic, almost like the real deal Paleo tortillas recipe in my cookbook, Ditch the Wheat, that contains some starchy flours but the results are amazing!
LOW CARB TORTILLAS RECIPE
Low Carb Tortilla Ingredients
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 ½ tablespoons of coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons of almond flour
- ½ tablespoon of ground flax seed
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
How to Make Low Carb Tortillas
- In a bowl whisk together water, eggs, and olive oil.
- In a separate bowl mix together coconut flour, almond flour, flax seed and baking powder.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Whisking as you pour so clumps don’t form.
- In a medium to large frying pan heat several tablespoons of olive oil over medium high heat. When the oil is hot pour 1/4 cup of batter in the pan, tilting the pan so the batter spreads thinly.
- Cook the batter for about 2 minutes or until it is slightly “toasted” looking. Flip the tortilla and fry for 2 more minutes.
Help! My Low Carb Tortillas Don’t Wrap Like Regular Tortillas
Since we’re using low carb flours to create these tortillas they are not as bendable as regular tortillas. Please remember they are crepe like since we used a batter to make them.
Can I Freeze My Low Carb Tortillas?
Yes! If you want to make a big batch of them you could separate each tortilla by putting wax paper or parchment paper between them and then stack them and place them in a ziplock bag and place in the freezer.
