This is simply the BEST Keto Tortillas Recipe! These flourless low carb tortillas are oh-so-delicious, perfectly pliable, and just incredibly easy to make too. You'll only need almond flour and just a few other ingredients to make them, and each one has just over 1 net carbs.

The Best Keto Tortillas

Say goodbye to store-bought low carb tortillas!

Once you make these, you'll never go back to buying them in the store again. You simply can't find tortillas in the store with fewer carbs than these - trust me I've looked - and probably fewer ingredients too! Plus, these homemade tortillas are not just fantastic the day that you make them, they're great even if you let them sit for several days in the fridge.

How awesome is that?!

Ingredients

Let's talk about the ingredients first.

You'll only need 6 ingredients to make this flourless tortilla recipe:

Almond flour

Xanthan gum

Baking powder

An egg

Water

And salt!

Yup, that's it.

Now, if you'd like to sub out the almond flour you can - walnut flour or sunflower seed flour are great 1:1 replacements with it.

That said though, I wouldn't try subbing out anything else.

How To Make Keto Tortillas

Ok, so, enough chit-chat. Let me walk you through how to make keto tortillas. These almond flour tortillas are grain free, gluten free, and sugar free, and they're the perfect keto vessel for all of your favorite Mexican recipes. Personally, I love to use them to make these low carb tacos - gah, just thinking about those tacos is getting me hungry. I'm telling you, when you pair these low carb tortillas with my homemade keto taco seasoning you've got almost everything you need to make some tasty low carb tacos. So definitely give them a shot! With that said, these almond flour tortillas also pair incredibly well with my keto stir fry as well. But I even use them for fajitas, quesadillas, and even to make keto tortilla chips with too! Not to mention, they're especially good to use when you order something keto from chipotle.

The Process

Once you've got your ingredients out, just add them all to your food processor, and process until a ball of dough forms. By the way, this is only going to take 15 seconds - if that - to happen. Now you'll want to cover that ball of dough with plastic wrap, knead it for just a minute or two with your hands, and then let it rest for about 15 minutes. The kneading and resting process will just help activate the xanthan gum, and give the tortillas they're fantastic bendability. Once the dough is done resting, you can unwrap it, and split it up into 4 equal-sized smaller balls of dough. And a food scale can really help you here. My ball of dough weighed around 180 grams, so each smaller ball came out to be around 45 grams.

Once you form the smaller balls of dough, you'll want to start forming your tortilla shells. If you have a tortilla press, you can use that at this point to make keto tortillas.

Making tortillas without a tortilla press

If you don't have a tortilla press you can just use the steps below to make keto tortillas! Lay a sheet of parchment paper on your work surface area, add one of the balls, and then cover it with another sheet of paper. The reason you'll want to sandwich the dough between parchment is that it makes it easier to work with the dough when you're rolling it out. The tortilla dough can be quite sticky and using paper is a big help in dealing with that. Anyway, at this point, you'll want to flatten the ball of dough with your hands. Once the dough is flat use a rolling pin to finish rolling the dough out. Ideally, the dough should be about as thick as a penny, and 6 inches wide by 6 inches long. I recommend using a small bowl that's about 6 inches in diameter to test and see if you've rolled the dough out enough. When you've got more dough than the bowl, remove the top layer of parchment paper and place the bowl back on the dough. Now use a knife to trace around the edges of the bowl. Once you've done that, remove and save the extra dough. You'll be able to make a 5th keto tortilla out of it later on.

Cooking Instructions

Ok, so first off, these low carb tortillas cook INCREDIBLY quickly, so please follow my advice to the T. Well, that is of course if you want perfectly cooked bendable keto tortillas and not a hard frisbee. Having said that, you'll want to get out a non-stick pan, turn your stove up to medium-high, and get the pan hot. And once the pans hot you can add the tortilla. You'll notice the tortilla will have a yellow-ish hue to it when you first add it to the pan, but as it cooks it will becomes much lighter in color. When almost the entire tortilla turns this lighter color, that's when you'll want to give it a flip. Now, once you flip it, just count to 5 and remove it from the pan immediately. This will ensure you don't overcook the tortilla, and that it will be bendable and pliable. And I can't stress this enough, do not, DO NOT cook it for longer than 5 seconds on that side. If you do, there's a good chance you'll overcook it. For a visual guide on this, check out the video above.

These flourless low carb keto tortillas store incredibly well. And they're delicious leftover, so you can use them for dinner the next day. Or even breakfast to make one of these keto breakfast burritos! If you store them in the fridge, I recommend keeping them in an airtight container or wrapping them in plastic wrap. Stored this way they will stay fresh and pliable for more than 1 week - I've even gotten 2 weeks out of these low carb tortillas stored like this.

FAQS ABOUT THESE KETO TORTILLAS

What kind of tortillas are keto friendly?

Any tortilla that is low in carbs and high in fiber is keto friendly. Since these low carb tortillas have 5 grams of carbs and 3.5 grams of fiber, they are super keto friendly, coming out to only 1.5 net carbs. A few brands make keto friendly tortillas, but with everything, make sure you read the nutrition label to check out the net carbs. Some great keto friendly tortillas that you can buy from the store are these carb count balance ones from Mission.

Are corn tortillas Keto friendly?

Corn tortillas are delicious, but they are unfortunately not keto friendly. Corn tortillas typically use either whole grain corn or corn masa flour as their main ingredient, and both of these ingredients are carb heavy. The tortillas can have anywhere from 20 grams of carbs to 45 grams of carbs, so corn tortillas are definitely not keto friendly.

Wrapping It all up

That is how to make keto tortillas that are low carb, gluten free, grain free, and incredibly delicious. These almond flour tortillas are seriously spot on to actual tortillas, even though they have just over 1 net carb per serving. They are soft, pliable, and perfect for folding, wrapping, and using for just about anything you want! I make these keto friendly tortillas constantly since they can be used for so many things - like making some Mexican chorizo tacos. So I really hope you enjoy these low carb tortillas as much as I do. If you make them, leave a comment below and let me know what you think. If you liked this recipe, I have some keto bread recipes to try out next!
