An easy low carb tortilla wrap that is versatile as it is healthy.
This low carb tortilla dough recipe makes great tortillas, nachos or even breadsticks. It's now my favourite sandwich wrap recipe and makes a regular appearance at our dining table. The beauty of this recipe is that it is very flexible and you can roll the wraps up with no cracking. I've also used it for an enchillada dish..just yummy.
You will need to roll the low carb tortilla wraps out thin in between two sheets of parchment paper as the mixture can be delicate to handle. I sometimes cook mine dry in the frying pan but you can add oils if you wish. Other flavours and spices work too. Curry powder is particuarly nice but go crazy and get inventive!
Low Carb Tortilla Wraps
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ¼ cup ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon onion powder optional
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder optional
- 1 cup boiling water
Instructions
- Place all the dry ingredients into a bowl and mix well.
Gradually add the water and work the mixture into a dough.
- Let the dough rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Cut into quarters and roll the dough in between two layers of parchment paper. Roll it as thin as you can.
- Use a 20 cm / 8 inch lid or bowl to cut out the wrap.
- Repeat until you have used all the mixture and have a pile of tortillas.
- Heat a frying pan on a medium heat and place the tortilla in. You can add oil or butter at this point if you wish. (try both ways to see what works best for you).
- Cook for about 2 minutes on each side until golden.
- Eat and enjoy!

Maybe add a 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum?
JJ
what to replace the nut flour? hubby has allergies.
Angela Coleby
Extra flaxseed perhaps?
JJ
thank you! do you know about ratios of extra coconut flour or flaxseed when swapping for nut flour?
Angela Coleby
Coconut flour is about 1/4 of nut flour. Flaxseed can be used in the same amounts. Although I would try for about 3/4 of the almond flour for flaxseed and adjust for taste.
JJ
so you mean you would try to flaxseed as replacement instead of coconut flour? OMG I CANT WAIT TO TRY!!!!! I have coronavirus and am not allowed to leave the house for over a month now and would DIE for a tortilla right about now!! 😀 jk, ok well maybe not... as i sit and watch an ad right next to where i am typing for a dadgum sonic shake!!! OY! THEYRE KILLIN ME!!!
I apoligize for my micro-outburst.... we just had a severe storm and i think Noah just floated by in the dang ARK and Im goin a bit whackadoodle! 😀
Angela Coleby
Hey! No apology needed for the out burst! It's good to vent and we are living in some strange times now. A couple of friends in the UK have had the virus, other's have seen work colleagues with it and it sounds just awful. I wish you a good recovery and just take it easy. Don't try to do too much, however frustrating it may be.

These are wonderful! I found it a bit tricky to transfer the tortillas to the pan without tearing them but I guess it takes practice. But their structure after they're ready is spot on! For me it's a game changer, thank you 🙂

How about placing the parchment paper over the pan, then flipping it over like a pancake? That might work. Glad you are enjoying them. I've been making a lot of them recently to enjoy at the beach with a homemade dip!

Hi! My hubby and I made these tortilla wraps for the first time today and we were really pleased how they came out. We used our tortilla press and rolled the dough into small balls and then pressed them between two sheets of plastic wrap and they came out great! We used coconut oil to cook them in - but the tortilla soaked up all the oil and became soggy. We then cooked the tortilla on a hot nonstick skillet, and the tortillas cooked up really nicely, we made them into tacos. We will definitely be using this recipe again and again! Thanks!

I also prefer to cook them without any oil! Glad you enjoyed them as much as me! Happy baking!
rebi
can you replace the flaxseeds?Thank you

You could perhaps increase the quantity of the almond and coconut flour.
