A healthy and delicious alternative to traditional corn tortillas, these low carb corn tortillas are perfect for tacos, wraps, and more. Made with simple ingredients, they provide the same texture and flavor with fewer carbs!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin (optional, for extra flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 egg
  • ⅓ cup warm water (adjust as needed)

Instructions

Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, salt, baking powder, and cumin (if using).
  2. Whisk well to ensure even distribution.

Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients

  1. Add apple cider vinegar, egg, and warm water.
  2. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, one teaspoon at a time.
  3. Knead the dough gently for about 1 minute until smooth.
  4. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 10 minutes.

Step 3: Shape the Tortillas

  1. Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions.
  2. Roll each portion into a ball.
  3. Place a ball between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a thin, round tortilla (about 6 inches in diameter).

Step 4: Cook the Tortillas

  1. Heat a dry skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat.
  2. Cook each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on one side until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 30-60 seconds.
  3. Remove and place on a plate. Cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.

Step 5: Serve

  1. Use immediately for tacos, wraps, or quesadillas.
  2. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.

Tips for the Best Low Carb Tortillas

  1. For Extra Flexibility: Lightly brush with oil before cooking for softer tortillas.
  2. For a Crispier Texture: Cook slightly longer until lightly browned.
  3. Use a Tortilla Press: To get even thickness, use a tortilla press instead of rolling by hand.
  4. Make Ahead: Freeze tortillas between parchment paper and reheat as needed.
