Keto Tortilla Food

KETO TORTILLAS RECIPE (EASY, LOW CARB, & MADE WITH ALMOND FLOUR)

Steps:

• Add all of your ingredients to your food processor, and process until a ball of dough forms.
• Now remove the dough from the processor and cover it 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.
• Then, when you form the smaller balls of dough, you'll want to start forming your tortilla shells.
• So, 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 tortilla dough can be quite sticky and using the paper is a big help in dealing with that, so don't skip out on it.
• Now, flatten the ball of dough with your hands, and once it's flat use a rolling pin to finish rolling the dough out.
• Ideally, the dough should be about as thick as a penny, and at least 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.
• Now we're all set to cook the tortillas!
• These tortillas cook INCREDIBLY quickly, so follow my instrutctions to the T.
• Get out a non-stick pan, turn your stove up to medium-high, and get the pan hot.
• Once the pans hot add the tortilla, and cook until the yellow-ish hue of it turns white (watch the video for a good visual guide)
• When 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.

KETO TORTILLAS (3 INGREDIENTS!)

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, add your almond flour, psyllium husks, and salt. Mix well.
• Slowly add your olive oil and warm water and mix well, until completely combined. Let sit for a minute.
• Gently knead the dough several times, and form a ball of dough. Place the dough on a lightly floured kitchen surface.
• Cut the dough into 4 large or 8 small pieces. Get one piece of dough and place a piece of parchment paper on top. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough until thin and flat. Get a large dinner plate or small appetiser plate and place on top of the dough. Using a knife, cut around the edges so you are left with a tortilla.
• Heat a non-stick pan on medium and lightly grease. Place the tortilla on top and cook for 2-3 minutes, before flipping and cooking for a further two minutes. Repeat until all the tortillas are cooked.

(15-MINUTE!) GLUTEN FREE & KETO TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Add almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder and salt to food processor. Pulse until thoroughly combined. Note: you can alternatively whisk everything in a large bowl and use a hand or stand mixer for the following steps.
• Pour in apple cider vinegar with the food processor running. Once it has distributed evenly, pour in the egg. Followed by the water. Stop the food processor once the dough forms into a ball. The dough will be sticky to touch.
• Wrap dough in cling film and knead it through the plastic for a minute or two. Think of it a bit like a stress ball. Allow dough to rest for 10 minutes (and up to three days in the fridge).
• Heat up a skillet (preferably) or pan over medium heat. You can test the heat by sprinkling a few water droplets, if the drops evaporate immediately your pan is too hot. The droplets should 'run' through the skillet.
• Break the dough into eight 1" balls (26g each). Roll out between two sheets of parchment or waxed paper with a rolling pin or using a tortilla press (easier!) until each round is 5-inches in diameter.
• Transfer to skillet and cook over medium heat for just 3-6 seconds (very important). Flip it over immediately (using a thin spatula or knife), and continue to cook until just lightly golden on each side (though with the traditional charred marks), 30 to 40 seconds. The key is not to overcook them, as they will no longer be pliable or puff up.
• Keep them warm wrapped in kitchen cloth until serving. To rewarm, heat briefly on both sides, until just warm (less than a minute).
• These tortillas are best eaten straight away. But feel free to keep some dough handy in your fridge for up to three days, and they also freeze well for up to three months.

KETO TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Combine almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until well combined. Pour apple cider vinegar into the mixture and blend until smooth. Add egg and water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and blend until a sticky dough ball is formed. Place the dough on a surface sprinkled with almond flour and knead until soft, about 2 minutes. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and let it stand for 10 minutes. Divide dough into 8 equal balls; roll out each ball into a 5-inch disc between two sheets of parchment paper.
• Heat an iron skillet over medium-high heat and grease with cooking spray. Place dough disc in the hot skillet for just 5 seconds; flip it immediately with a spatula, and cook until lightly golden, about 40 seconds. Flip and cook for another 40 seconds.
