Description
Mexican-inspired low carb keto almond flour tortillas deliver authentic flavor without wheat complications. Home cooks can quickly master these flexible wraps perfect for multiple meal preparations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¼ cups (125 grams) blanched almond flour
- 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
- 2 tbsps (14 grams) psyllium husk powder
- 1 tbsp (10 grams) unflavored gelatin powder
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- 2 tbsps warm water
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Blend Dry Components: Combine almond flour, psyllium husk powder, gelatin powder, and sea salt in a food processor. Pulse until ingredients are uniformly integrated.
- Form Dough: Add eggs and warm water to the dry mixture. Process until a cohesive dough ball forms, pulling away from processor sides. Modulate moisture by incrementally adding water to maintain a dense, moist consistency without becoming soggy or fragmented.
- Portion and Shape: Divide the dough into six symmetrical segments. Roll each section into a golf ball-sized sphere. Position between parchment paper sheets and gently flatten into ultra-thin circular tortillas, approximately 1/16-inch thick. Alternatively, utilize a tortilla press for shaping.
- Heat and Cook: Prepare a non-stick pan with minimal oil over medium-high heat. Distribute oil evenly using a crumpled paper towel. Carefully transfer tortilla from parchment paper to pan, ensuring direct dough contact. Remove parchment paper and cook each side for 30-60 seconds until appetizing brown spots develop. Rotate and repeat for remaining tortillas, avoiding overcooking.
- Preserve Texture: Maintain tortillas’ softness by keeping them warm. If they cool and stiffen, briefly reheat in a microwave to restore pliability.
Notes
- Flour Precision: Measure almond flour and psyllium husk powder accurately for consistent texture and binding.
- Moisture Management: Add water gradually to prevent dough from becoming too wet or crumbly, ensuring perfect tortilla consistency.
- Heat Control: Maintain medium-high heat and watch for brown spots to avoid burning while creating crispy edges.
- Storage Strategy: Keep tortillas warm and flexible by covering or reheating briefly to prevent hardening and maintain soft texture.
