Low Carb Tortillas Recipes

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.

LOW-CARB TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375º F. Cut 5 pieces of parchment about 14 inches long. Have a rolling pin and 2 cookie sheets available.
• Place mozzarella cheese, almond flour and salt in a food processor. Pulse to chop mozzarella and combine all ingredients well. Mixture should appear mealy.
• Transfer mixture to a large, heavy saucepan. Heat over low heat while stirring constantly.
• As the cheese melts, the ingredients will start to develop a doughy appearance. When it starts to hold together in a ball, turn it out onto a piece of parchment paper.
• While the dough is hot, but not hot enough to burn your hands, kneed the dough to completely mix the ingredients. Divide the dough into 4 equal sections. Place three of the sections back in the warm pan (but not over heat) to keep them warm while you work.
• Form one section into a ball and place on a piece of parchment paper. Pat into a disk shape, then cover with another piece of parchment. Using the rolling pin, roll into about a 9 inch circle. Place the circle of dough on half of the parchment lined baking sheet. Set aside.
• Repeat for the second ball of dough and place it on the other side of the baking pan. Repeat for the other two pieces of dough.
• Bake the tortillas for 5-7 minutes or until the outside edges just begin to brown. Watch them carefully as it is easy to burn them. Allow them to cool slightly before gently loosening them with a spatula and removing them from the pan.
• Fill tortillas with filling of choice while they are slightly warm for best results. Refrigerate any extras in an airtight container. Warm leftover tortillas gently before using.

KETO TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Combine almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until well combined. Pour apple cider vinegar into the mixture and blend until smooth. Add egg and water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and blend until a sticky dough ball is formed. Place the dough on a surface sprinkled with almond flour and knead until soft, about 2 minutes. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and let it stand for 10 minutes. Divide dough into 8 equal balls; roll out each ball into a 5-inch disc between two sheets of parchment paper.
• Heat an iron skillet over medium-high heat and grease with cooking spray. Place dough disc in the hot skillet for just 5 seconds; flip it immediately with a spatula, and cook until lightly golden, about 40 seconds. Flip and cook for another 40 seconds.
