Keto Tortillas

Keto Tortillas

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups almond flour (or a mix of almond flour and coconut flour)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup psyllium husk powder (helps with elasticity and texture)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional for extra flavor)
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the dough:
    • In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, salt, and garlic powder (if using). Mix well.
    • Crack in the eggs and add the warm water. Stir the mixture until it starts to come together into a dough. If it’s too dry, you can add a bit more water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough is smooth and pliable.
  2. Divide and roll the dough:
    • Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions, depending on how large you want your tortillas.
    • Roll each portion into a ball. Place the ball between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out with a rolling pin into a thin, round tortilla, about 6-8 inches in diameter. Make sure the dough is not too thick, or the tortillas won’t cook properly.
  3. Cook the tortillas:
    • Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil to lightly coat the pan.
    • Place one tortilla at a time onto the pan and cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown spots form, and the tortilla is cooked through. Flip it over carefully, as the dough can be a bit delicate.
    • Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
  4. Serve:
    • Once cooked, stack the tortillas on a plate and cover with a clean towel to keep them warm. You can use them immediately or store them in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Storage: These tortillas can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days or frozen for up to a month. If freezing, layer them with parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together.
  • For soft tortillas: Ensure they’re cooked on medium heat, not too high, as it can make them crispy rather than soft.
  • Customization: You can add herbs or spices to the dough, like chili powder for a spicier tortilla or dried oregano for an Italian twist.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Use these Keto Tortillas to make wraps, tacos, or quesadillas with keto-friendly fillings like grilled chicken, avocado, cheese, and lettuce.
  • They also work great as a base for keto pizzas or as a side with soups and salads.
