Almond Flour Tortilla Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour

  • 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • ¾ cup hot water

Directions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder (if using), and salt. Stir until well mixed.
  • Add olive oil and hot water to the dry mixture. Stir with a spoon until a dough begins to form, then knead gently with your hands until smooth. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes to allow the psyllium to absorb moisture.
  • Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each into a ball.
  • Place a ball of dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a thin circle, about 6–7 inches in diameter.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the dry pan and cook for about 1–2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and flexible. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  • Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.

  • Refrigerate: Keep the cooled tortillas in the refrigerator for up to three or four days in an airtight container.
  • Freeze: Line a sealed container with parchment paper, then freeze each tortilla for up to two months.

FAQs About Almond Flour Tortillas

Are tortillas made with almond flour keto-friendly?
A: Indeed! They are perfect for keto diets since they are high in healthy fats and low in carbohydrates.

ng>Is it possible to make these without using psyllium husk?
A: Psyllium husk aids in flexibility; but, for a more delicate texture, you can use flaxseed meal or leave it out.

What’s causing my tortillas to break?
A: Add a little more water if they’re too dry. Additionally, be careful not to roll them too thinly.

Can I bake rather than cook in a pan?
A: The nicest texture comes from pan-cooking, but if necessary, you may also softly bake them at 350°F for 3–4 minutes on each side.

ng>Do these fit within a paleo diet?
A: These tortillas are indeed paleo-friendly, dairy-free, and grain-free.
