Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup Almond Flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp. Xanthan Gum
  • 1 tsp Psyllium Husk Powder
  • 1/2 tsp. Sea Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 Tbsp. Water
  • Avocado oil for pan frying I use about a tsp per tortilla give or take

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.
