Grain Free Tortillas - Wheat Free/Grain Free/Sugar Free/Dairy Free

Grain Free Tortillas


I've tried dozens of grain free tortilla recipes and most of them fall apart the minute you get them out of the pan.  Others end up thick and just don't taste right.  I modified these from Gourmet Girl Cooks, her's were the closest to regular tortillas that I've found but included dairy.  These ones don't.  the other trick I learned is that as these sit, they get a bit thicker, so after cooking a couple of tortillas, put them back on the blender and spin them some more.

1 C egg whites
1/2 C almond flour
3 T ground flax
1/4 t salt

Put all ingredients in a blender and whip until smooth - should be a very thin batter.

Meanwhile, heat a non-stick 9" frying pan at med-high until water "spits" back at you when you put a few drops on.  Spray with coconut oil spray and pour just barely enough batter to cover around a 5-6" circle, rotate the pan to spread the batter to the edges.  You want a very thin layer.  Cook until the edges start to curl and gently flip over.  Cook the other side until just barely browning.

This makes around 8 tortillas - I'll show you tomorrow a recipe for them.

Calories for the whole recipe:  548, 15 grams carbohydrates, 10 grams fiber.  Calories for 1 tortilla:  around 69, 2 grams carbohydrates, 1 gram fiber
