Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 tbsp xanthan gum
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt (or season to your liking)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: Blend all of the ingredients together in a food processor until a dough-like ball forms, ensuring all components are evenly combined for the perfect tortilla consistency.
  2. Knead and Rest Dough: Remove the dough, cover it with plastic wrap, and knead it by hand for about a minute. Set it aside to rest for 15 minutes, which enhances the tortillas’ pliability and texture.
  3. Divide and Roll Out: Unwrap the dough and divide it into four equal small balls. Place each ball between two pieces of parchment paper and flatten it using your hand, then roll out with a rolling pin until about 6 inches in diameter. Use a 6-inch bowl to check the size.
  4. Trim to Shape: Remove the top parchment paper and place the bowl gently over the dough. Use a knife to trace the edges, creating a perfect circle. Remove the extra dough and save it for making an additional tortilla.
  5. Preheat Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot and ready for cooking.
  6. Cook Tortillas: Place each tortilla in the hot skillet and cook until the dough color changes from yellowish to off-white, about 30 seconds. Flip and cook the other side for only 5 seconds to keep them soft and pliable. Repeat for all tortillas including the one made from dough scraps.

Notes

  • Resting the dough is crucial for tortilla flexibility, so do not skip this step.
  • Do not overcook the tortillas; cooking the second side for more than 5 seconds can make them dry and brittle.
  • Store cooked tortillas wrapped in a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft.
  • Extra dough scraps can be combined and rerolled to avoid waste.
  • These tortillas are best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
