Keto Large Flour Tortillas

Traditional flour tortillas are typically made with wheat flour, which is not keto-friendly due to its high carbohydrate content. However, you can create keto-friendly tortillas using alternative ingredients. One common keto-friendly substitute for wheat flour is almond flour or coconut flour. Here’s a basic recipe for keto-friendly large flour tortillas using almond flour:

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups almond flour
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (optional, for fluffier tortillas)
• 1/4 cup lukewarm water (approximately)

Instructions:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, salt, and baking powder (if using). Mix them together until well combined.
2. Add Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and add the olive oil or melted butter. Mix until the wet ingredients are well combined.
3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough starts to form.
4. Add Water: Slowly add lukewarm water to the dough, one tablespoon at a time, while mixing. Keep adding water until the dough is soft and pliable but not overly sticky. The amount of water needed can vary, so go slowly and adjust as necessary.
5. Divide and Shape: Divide the dough into smaller portions (usually 4-6) and roll each portion into a ball. Place a ball between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap.
6. Roll Out the Tortillas: Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball of dough between the parchment paper or plastic wrap until you have a thin, round tortilla. Aim for a thickness of about 1/8 inch or less. You can make them as large as you prefer.
7. Cook the Tortillas: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully peel off one side of the parchment paper or plastic wrap from a tortilla and place it in the skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is lightly browned and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
8. Serve: Remove the tortillas from the skillet and serve them with your choice of keto-friendly fillings or toppings.

These keto-friendly almond flour tortillas can be used for wraps, tacos, or any other dish where traditional flour tortillas are typically used. They are lower in carbs and suitable for those following a ketogenic diet. Enjoy your keto-friendly tortillas!
