HOMEMADE LOW-CARB TORTILLAS

Soft, Flexible, and Made with Just 6 Simple Ingredients. These homemade low-carb tortillas are easy to make and surprisingly versatile. They are soft, flexible, and work well for tacos, wraps, burritos, quesadillas, or even as a flatbread. Best of all, they are made without cheese and use simple pantry ingredients. This was the first time that I sucessfully made homemade tortillas. My husband, Michael, even gave me the thumbs up.

Ingredients

·        1½ cups fine almond flour

·        2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder

·        1 teaspoon baking powder

·        ½ teaspoon salt

·        2 tablespoons avocado oil (or olive oil)

·        ¾ cup hot water

·        Makes about 8 small tortillas.

Directions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2: Add avocado oil and hot water. Mix with a spoon until dough starts to come together.

Step 3: Knead dough with clean hands for 1–2 minutes. The dough may look a little rough at first. That is normal.

Step 4: Let dough rest for 5–10 minutes. This allows the psyllium husk to absorb moisture and helps create flexible tortillas.

Step 5: Divide dough into 8 equal balls.

Step 6: Place dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll into a thin circle, about 6–7 inches wide.

Step 7: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Peel off top parchment. Use bottom parchment to help transfer tortilla into skillet. Cook first side 1½–2 minutes and second side 30–60 seconds until light golden spots appear.

Helpful Tips

·        Dough should feel like soft play dough: smooth, pliable, slightly tacky but not sticky.

·        If dough is too dry (cracks, crumbles, breaks): add 1 teaspoon hot water at a time.

·        If dough is too wet (sticky, hard to roll): add 1 teaspoon almond flour at a time.

·        If tortillas break apart: dough may be too dry, rolled too thick, or flipped too soon.

Storage

Store in refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in skillet or microwave before serving.
