Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • To make these easy almond flour tortillas, gather the following ingredients:
  • - 1 cup finely ground almond flour make sure it's not almond meal
  • - 2.5 tablespoons of whole psyllium husks
  • - 1/4 teaspoon of fine sea salt adjust to taste
  • - 1/2 cup of water
  • - 1 tablespoon of olive oil this adds richness and elasticity
  • - Optional: 1 teaspoon garlic powder for added flavor

Method
 

Step 1: Combine the Dry Ingredients
  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, psyllium husks, and fine sea salt. Make sure to break up any lumps that might be hiding in the almond flour. This mixture is the foundation of your tortillas, so ensure it's combined well.
Step 2: Hydrate the Mixture
  1. Add the water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir everything together until well combined. Once mixed, let the dough rest for about five minutes. This allows the psyllium husks to absorb the liquid, thickening the mixture and giving your dough its unique texture.
Step 3: Form the Dough
  1. After resting, the dough should feel firm yet moist—the perfect consistency to work with. Now, shape the dough into a ball. Don’t worry if it’s a bit sticky; that’s just right!
Step 4: Portion It Out
  1. Next, divide your dough ball into five equal-sized pieces. Roll each portion into a ball, which will be molded into tortillas. This ensures that each tortilla will be of a uniform size.
Step 5: Roll Out the Tortillas
  1. Grab two sheets of wax paper or parchment paper. Place one dough ball between the sheets. With a rolling pin (or a tortilla press if you have one), flatten the dough into a circle about 6 inches in diameter. Carefully peel off the top layer of paper, revealing your beautiful tortilla.
Step 6: Cook the Tortillas
  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat until it’s hot. If your skillet isn’t seasoned cast iron or it’s non-stick, give it a light spritz of non-stick spray. Place the tortilla in the skillet, dough-side down, and then gently peel away the second layer of paper.
  2. Cook the tortilla for 1 to 2 minutes until it puffs slightly and the bottom has browned in spots. Flip it and cook the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes, until golden.
Step 7: Cool and Repeat
  1. Once done, transfer the tortilla to a cooling rack (this keeps them from getting soggy). Repeat this process with the remaining dough balls until they’re all cooked.
  2. These tortillas can be enjoyed warm, at room temperature, or even cold. Enjoy!

Notes

- If you're finding it hard to work with the dough, sprinkle a tiny bit more almond flour, but avoid making it too dry.
- Feel free to add herbs or spices to the dough for additional flavor.
- For a more classic tortilla flavor, don’t skip the salt; it makes a noticeable difference.
- Psyllium husks are crucial for the right texture, so don’t attempt this recipe without them.
- For a fun twist, try adding a hint of chili powder to kick it up a notch.
