Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup almond flour 150g (reduce by 2 tablespoons if you're using super-fine almond flour)
- ⅔ cup flax meal 80g
- 2 tablespoon psyllium husks 8g (or 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder, whole
- 1 egg whisked lightly with a fork, large
- 10 tablespoon water lukewarm
- ¾ teaspoon salt optional, sea salt
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.
