    Are Tortillas Keto Friendly?

    Traditionally, tortillas are made from corn. However, today, they often include ingredients like all-purpose flour. Both corn and wheat tortillas are high in net carbs, which makes them unsuitable for a keto diet. The good news is that substituting the ingredients is easy to make keto tortillas.

    Ingredients for Low Carb Tortilla Wraps

    You'll only need 6 key ingredients and some salt and water to make the best keto tortillas for the whole family!

    • Coconut flour - Make sure it's very fine as well.
    • Egg - Free-range at room temperature.
    • Baking powder
    • Xanthan gum - To add elasticity.
    • Apple cider vinegar - To help the tortillas rise.
