Keto Tortillas Recipe Easy Low Carb Made With Almond Flour

KETO TORTILLAS RECIPE (EASY, LOW CARB, & MADE WITH ALMOND FLOUR)

Steps:

• Add all of your ingredients to your food processor, and process until a ball of dough forms.
• Now remove the dough from the processor and cover it with plastic wrap.
• Knead it for just a minute or two with your hands, and then let it rest for about 15 minutes.
• The kneading and resting process will just help activate the xanthan gum, and give the tortillas they're fantastic bendability.
• Once the dough is done resting, you can unwrap it, and split it up into 4 equal-sized smaller balls of dough.
• Then, when you form the smaller balls of dough, you'll want to start forming your tortilla shells.
• So, lay a sheet of parchment paper on your work surface area, add one of the balls, and then cover it with another sheet of paper.
• The tortilla dough can be quite sticky and using the paper is a big help in dealing with that, so don't skip out on it.
• Now, flatten the ball of dough with your hands, and once it's flat use a rolling pin to finish rolling the dough out.
• Ideally, the dough should be about as thick as a penny, and at least 6 inches wide by 6 inches long.
• I recommend using a small bowl that'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.
• Now we're all set to cook the tortillas!
• These tortillas cook INCREDIBLY quickly, so follow my instrutctions to the T.
• Get out a non-stick pan, turn your stove up to medium-high, and get the pan hot.
• Once the pans hot add the tortilla, and cook until the yellow-ish hue of it turns white (watch the video for a good visual guide)
• When the entire tortilla turns this lighter color, that's when you'll want to give it a flip.
• Now, once you flip it, just count to 5 and remove it 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.

KETO TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Please measure all ingredients in grams (use my written measurements) on a kitchen scale, if possible. Also, watch the video in the post for easy visual instructions.To a medium-sized bowl, add the almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine with either a spoon or a whisk. Add the water and olive oil and mix with a spoon until the dough comes together.
• Then knead the dough with your hands until it's soft and smooth, about 30-45 seconds. You could also process the dough in a food processor if you wish.You might need to add a little more water if your almond flour is quite dry and very fine. I used homemade almond flour (from blanched almonds) which was rather moist and not super fine. The dough should be slightly moist, but not sticky. Add a little more coconut flour if it's too sticky.
• Depending on how large you want the tortillas to be, you can cut the dough into 4, 5, or 6 pieces. I made 6, but they were rather small (about 6 in or 15 cm), so I would recommend making 4 dough balls for larger tortillas. Using your hands, roll each piece into a ball. Use only 1 dough ball and cover the other ones with plastic wrap (you can keep them in the fridge while you finish making the first tortilla).
• Lightly oil the middle of 2 sheets of parchment paper (or wax paper). Place 1 dough ball between the oiled sheets and flatten it with your hand, then roll it out with a rolling pin. Don't roll out the dough too thinly, otherwise, it might crack. Carefully peel off the top parchment paper.
• I used a springform to make the tortillas round, but you can also use a bowl (see step-by-step photos in the post).
• Lightly oil a non-stick frying pan or skillet and heat it up over medium heat. Flip over the tortilla with the paper, so that the tortilla touches the pan and the sheet of parchment paper is on top. Now you can peel off the parchment paper.
• Cook the tortilla over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, then flip it over and cook for a further 1-2 minutes. Place the cooked tortilla on a plate and cover it with a kitchen towel. While one tortilla cooks, you can roll out the next dough ball and repeat the process. Enjoy!

ALMOND FLOUR KETO TORTILLAS RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, gelatin powder, and sea salt in a food processor. Process until uniform.
• Add the eggs and water. Process until the dough pulls away from the sides and forms a ball. If it's too dry, add more water a tablespoon at a time until the dough forms. It should be dense, moist, and dough-y, not wet or dry. Scrape any ingredients stuck to the sides with a spatula if needed.
• Cut the dough ball into 6 sections. (The easiest way is to flatten into a disc and cut like a pie.)
• Roll each section into a ball, about the size of a golf ball, then roll into a 1/16-inch-thick (VERY THIN) circle between two pieces of parchment paper. (You can also flatten using a tortilla press if you have one.)
• Heat a very lightly oiled non-stick pan over medium-high heat. (Do not add too much oil or the tortillas will get crisp.) It's best to add a little oil and then run a crumpled paper towel all over the surface to absorb any extra. It's important that the heat is high enough as well, otherwise tortillas won't form dark spots and can also get too crisp.
• Flip the tortilla with the paper onto the pan, so that the tortilla is against the pan, then peel away the paper. Cook for 30-60 seconds per side, until brown spots form on the bottom side. (Don't brown too much, or they will be stiff.) Flip and repeat on the other side. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
• Tortillas are only pliable when they are warm, so if they cool down, reheat in the microwave if needed to make them flexible.
