Instructions
Keto Tortilla Dough
In a food processor, combine the almond flour, xanthan gum, psyllium husk powder, and all the dried spices. Pulse to mix the dry ingredients together.
In a small bowl, combine the egg and water together and beat the mixture so it is combined.
Turn the food processor on to low and slowly pour the egg/water mixture into the processor. You may need to turn it up to high and pulse a few times so it comes together into one dough ball. The dough should not be crumbly when pressed together.
Remove the dough from the food processor and press it together lightly or knead it slightly on a flat surface. Divide the dough into equal portions (6-10 tortillas works best).
Hand Rolled Tortillas
Place another piece of parchment paper over the top of the dough and roll into one large thin sheet of dough about 1/8 inch thick. Use a cookie/biscuit cutter to cut a 5-6" size circle out of the dough. Re-roll as needed with remaining dough.
Tortilla Press Instructions
Use two pieces of parchment paper or a cut up plastic bag and place 1 piece of dough between them. Press once and flip, press a second time and carefully remove the tortilla and repeat.
Cooking Instructions
Heat a frying pan to about medium heat. Add a tsp of avocado oil and swirl it into the pan and allow it to heat up.
Add one tortilla at a time and cook about 30-60 seconds per side. You should see the oil slightly bubbling and the tortillas should brown only slightly.
Remove and place in a paper towel or clean linen towel to stay warm.

Notes
I do not recommend substituting with coconut flour. This will dry out and crack the tortillas. See additional notes in the article above.
