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!

• Almond flour - Use super-fine and blanched almond flour to avoid a gritty texture.
• 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.

How To Make Low Carb Tortillas

Now all that's left to do is grab the ingredients and start cooking! Follow the simple steps below and learn how to make keto tortillas.

• Combine the dry ingredients. Add the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and a pinch of sea salt in a food processor or blender. Mix all the ingredients until well combined.

• Add the wet ingredients. Add the apple cider vinegar and blend again. Add the egg and water and blend until the dough forms a sticky ball.

• Knead the dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap to make it easier to work with. Knead the dough for a couple of minutes. Let the dough rest for around 10 minutes.

• Divide the dough. Cut the dough into 8 equal balls and roll out each piece between two sheets of baking paper using a rolling pin. Each piece should form a 5-inch circle tortilla.

• Cook the tortillas. Heat a dry pan over medium heat. Once it's hot, cook each tortilla for 5 seconds on the first side, flip it, and cook for 30 seconds.

• Cooked tortillas. Place the cooked tortillas in a stack and cover them with a kitchen towel to keep them hot. Alternatively, reheat the cooked tortillas briefly on each side for a few seconds until soft and elastic.
