Quick Answer: These Keto Almond Flour Tortillas are a soft, low-carb, and gluten-free alternative to traditional wheat tortillas, perfect for keto tacos and wraps with only 2g net carbs per serving.
Soft & Pliable Low-Carb Tortillas
Finding a gluten-free wrap that doesn't crumble can be challenging. By utilizing a touch of xanthan gum as a gluten mimicker, these almond flour tortillas stay perfectly soft, bendable, and sliceable.
Method / Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, and salt.
- Add the eggs and warm water, mixing until a dough forms. Knead with your hands for 1-2 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
- Place each ball between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out flat using a rolling pin.
- Heat a dry non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly golden.
Notes & Coaching Tips
- Ensure your pan is hot before adding the tortilla to get a nice bubble.
- Keep cooked tortillas covered with a warm kitchen towel to retain pliability.
