Instructions

Place all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl (almond flour, flax meal, psyllium husk and salt). Mix well to combine.
Add the egg and mix. Slowly add the water a few tablespoons at a time and mix to combine. Use your hands to massage and roll into a ball. Place in the fridge to chill for about 30 minutes.
Remove from the fridge and cut into 4 portions. Roll the dough between two sheets of grease-proof paper or a silicone mat and 1 sheet of greaseproof.
Use a bowl as a template and cut around using a sharp knife to form tortillas. Use the cutoffs to make the 5th and 6th tortilla.
Heat a non stick frying pan or cast iron skillet with a little ghee, coconut oil, butter or olive oil. Gently warm each tortilla for about 1 minute on one side and up to 40 seconds on the other. Careful not to overcook the tortillas to prevent stiffening. Re-grease the pan for each tortilla and repeat until all the tortillas are cooked.

Notes

Makes 6 large tortillas at 18 cm / 7 inch diameter or 8 small tortillas @ 15 cm / 6 inch. Nutrition is calculated for 6 large tortillas.
1 large tortilla with a sufficient filling makes for a good lunch. Thanks to the almond flour and the flax, they are quite filling.
Net Carbs: 2.6g per serve.
Store in the fridge in a Tupperware for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Make sure you know the type of psyllium you're using: WHOLE psyllium husks may appear to be powder at first glance, but if you look closely, they look like little sticks. Psyllium husk powder is a proper powder and you'll only need 1 tbsp.
