The Best Keto Tortillas

Say goodbye to store-bought low carb tortillas! Once you make these, you'll never go back to buying them in the store again.

You simply can't find tortillas in the store with fewer carbs than these - trust me, I've looked - and probably fewer ingredients too! Plus, these homemade tortillas are not just fantastic the day that you make them, they're great even if you let them sit for several days in the fridge. How awesome is that?!

Ingredients

• Almond flour- you can substitute it with walnut flour or sunflower seed flour. Do not use coconut flour.
• Xanthan gum- binds the ingredients and gives the tortillas the perfect texture.
• Baking powder
• Egg
• Water
• Salt- for some flavor.

How To Make Keto Tortillas

Step 1: Combine the ingredients. Once you've got your ingredients out, just add them all to your food processorand process until a ball of dough forms. By the way,this is only going to take 15 seconds- if that - to happen.

Step 2: Knead the dough. Now you'll want to cover that ball of doughwith plastic wrap,knead it for just a minute or twowith your hands, and thenlet it rest for about 15 minutes. The kneading and the resting process will just help activate the xanthan gum and give the tortillas their fantastic bendability.

Step 3: Form the tortillas.Once the dough is done resting, you can unwrap it and split it up into 4 equal-sized smaller ballsof dough. And afood scalecan really help you here. My ball of dough weighed around 180 grams, so each smaller ball came out to be around 45 grams.Once you form the smaller balls of dough, you'll want to start forming your tortilla shells.If you have atortilla press, you can use that at this point to make keto tortillas.

Step 4: Cook. Take out a non-stick pan, turn your stove up tomedium-high, and get the pan hot. Add the tortilla dough to the pan. You'll notice the tortilla will have a yellowish hue to it when you first add it to the pan, but as it cooks, it will become much lighter in color. When almost the entire tortilla turns this lighter color, that's when you'll want to give it a flip. Then flip and count to five, and remove from the pan immediately. This will ensure you don't overcook the tortilla and that it will be bendable and pliable. And I can't stress this enough, do not,DO NOT cook it for longer than 5 seconds on that side. If you do, there's a good chance you'll overcook it.

Can I Make This Recipe Without a Tortilla Press?

Yes! If you don't have a tortilla press, you can just use the steps below to make keto tortillas! Lay a sheet ofparchment paperon your work surface area, add one of the balls, and then cover it with another sheet of paper.

The reason you'll want to sandwich the dough between parchment is that it makes it easier to work with the dough when you're rolling it out. The tortilla dough can be quite sticky, and using paperis a big help in dealing with that.

Anyway, at this point, you'll want to flatten the ball of dough with your hands. Once the dough is flat, use a rolling pin to finish rolling the dough out.Ideally, the dough should be about as thick as a penny and 6 inches wide by 6 inches long.I recommend using asmall bowlthat's about 6 inches in diameter to test and see if you've rolled the dough out enough.

When you've got more dough than the bowl, remove the top layer of parchment paper and place the bowl back on the dough. Now use a knife to trace around the edges of the bowl. Once you've done that, remove and save the extra dough. You'll be able to make a 5th keto tortilla out of it later on.

Corn tortillas are delicious, but they are unfortunately not keto friendly. Corn tortillas typically use either whole grain corn or corn masa flour as their main ingredient, and both of these ingredients are carb heavy. The tortillas can have anywhere from 20 grams of carbs to 45 grams of carbs, so corn tortillas are definitely not keto friendly.
