My Personal Experience

Making these tortillas was a game-changer for me. I had been missing my wraps and tacos, and store-bought options were often too dry or full of unnecessary carbs. The first time I tried these, I couldn’t believe how soft and pliable they were. Rolling them out was surprisingly easy, and the aroma as they cooked made my kitchen smell amazing. Now, they’re a weekly staple in my keto meal plan!

Required Equipment

• Mixing Bowl: A must-have for combining the dough. I prefer one with a non-slip base—it makes mixing a breeze!
• Rolling Pin: To roll out the tortillas evenly. A smaller size works great for precise control.
• Parchment Paper: Keeps the dough from sticking and makes cleanup effortless.
• Non-Stick Skillet: Ensures perfect cooking without added oil. A good skillet is a lifesaver in keto cooking!
• Spatula: For flipping tortillas without tearing them. Trust me, this tool is worth its weight in gold.

Ingredients & Substitutions

• Almond Flour (1 cup): The base for these tortillas. If you’re nut-sensitive, try coconut flour, but adjust the liquid as it absorbs more moisture.
• Psyllium Husk Powder (1 tbsp): Adds structure and flexibility. Substitute with xanthan gum if needed.
• Egg (1 large): Binds everything together. For an egg-free version, a flaxseed egg might work, but the texture will vary.
• Warm Water (¼ cup): Helps form the dough and makes it pliable.
• Salt (½ tsp): Enhances the flavor. Adjust to taste.

How to Make Keto Almond Flour Tortillas

1. Prepare the Dough:
   In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk powder, and salt. Whisk together to eliminate lumps. Add the egg and warm water, stirring until a dough forms. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes to allow the psyllium husk to hydrate fully.
2. Roll Out the Tortillas:
   Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball. Place a ball between two sheets of parchment paper and use a rolling pin to flatten it into a thin, round tortilla.
3. Cook the Tortillas:
   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned, then flip and cook the other side for another minute. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Tips for this Recipe

• Thickness: Aim for even thickness when rolling the tortillas to ensure uniform cooking.
• Hydration: If the dough feels too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until it’s pliable.
• Storage: Place cooked tortillas between layers of parchment to keep them soft and warm.

Optional Additions

• Herbs: Add dried oregano or parsley for a Mediterranean twist.
• Spices: A pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika enhances flavor.
• Cheese: Sprinkle some grated Parmesan into the dough for a cheesy version.

Serving Ideas

• Use these tortillas for tacos, wraps, or quesadillas.
• Make a quick breakfast burrito with scrambled eggs and avocado.
• Serve alongside soups and stews for dipping.

Storage Recommendation

• Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
• Freezer: Stack with parchment paper between each tortilla and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat directly in a skillet for the best results.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
Yes, but use less coconut flour (about ⅓ cup) as it absorbs more liquid.

2. Are these tortillas pliable?
Absolutely! The psyllium husk gives them the flexibility needed for rolling and folding.

3. Can I double the recipe?
Yes, simply double the ingredients. The process remains the same.
