This Best Low Carb Tortilla Recipe offers a healthy, gluten-free alternative to traditional tortillas, perfect for those following low-carb or ketogenic diets. Made primarily with almond and coconut flours, these tortillas are easy to prepare in just 15 minutes and provide a soft, pliable texture ideal for wraps, tacos, or burritos.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 tortillas

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup Almond Flour
  • 3 tbsp Coconut Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 2 tsp Xanthan Gum
  • Sea Salt (to taste)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 Egg (lightly beaten)
  • 3 tsp Water
  • 2 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a food processor or blender, add the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and a pinch of sea salt. Pulse several times to mix all the dry ingredients thoroughly.
  2. Add Vinegar: Pour in the apple cider vinegar and pulse again to incorporate it evenly into the dry mix.
  3. Add Egg and Water: Add the lightly beaten egg along with the water. Pulse the mixture until it forms a sticky dough ball, ensuring the ingredients are well combined.
  4. Knead Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and knead it through the wrap for a couple of minutes to create a pliable consistency.
  5. Rest Dough: Allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes. This step helps the flours hydrate and improves the dough’s elasticity.
  6. Form Tortillas: Divide the dough into 8 equal-sized balls, about 1 inch each. Roll out each ball between two sheets of baking paper using a rolling pin until you achieve approximately a 5-inch diameter tortilla.
  7. Heat Pan: Place a dry pan over medium heat and allow it to warm thoroughly for even cooking.
  8. Cook Tortillas: Cook each tortilla on the pan for about 5 seconds on the first side, then flip and cook for 30 seconds more on the other side. The tortillas should be soft and slightly browned.
  9. Serve or Rewarm: Serve the tortillas warm, ideally wrapped in towels to maintain softness. To rewarm, briefly heat on both sides for a few seconds to regain elasticity before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure not to overcook the tortillas as they can become brittle.
  • For best results, use fresh almond and coconut flours.
  • Store tortillas wrapped in an airtight container or wrapped in towels to keep them soft.
  • This dough can be frozen for convenience; thaw completely before rolling and cooking.
  • Use parchment or baking paper to prevent sticking when rolling out dough balls.
