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
- Blend the ingredients: Combine almond flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, salt, egg, and water in a food processor and blend until a dough-like ball forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Knead and rest the dough: Remove the dough from the processor, cover it with plastic wrap, and knead with your hands for about a minute to develop elasticity. Set it aside to rest for 15 minutes to improve the tortillas’ bendability.
- Divide and roll dough: Unwrap the dough and divide it into four equal balls. Place each ball between two pieces of parchment paper, flatten with your hand, then use a rolling pin to roll it out to about 6 inches in diameter, testing with a 6-inch bowl to ensure correct size.
- Trim edges: Remove the top parchment paper, place the bowl over the dough without pressing down, and use a knife to trace the circle. Remove the excess dough and save the trimmings to form an additional tortilla.
- Cook tortillas: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place each tortilla in the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until the dough changes from a yellowish hue to off-white. Flip and cook for an additional 5 seconds to prevent dryness and maintain pliability. Repeat for all tortillas, using dough scraps to make one more tortilla.
Notes
- Do not skip the resting step as it helps make the tortillas pliable.
- Keep cooking times precise to avoid dry and brittle tortillas.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and to make rolling easier.
- Store tortillas wrapped in a clean towel to keep them soft if not using immediately.
- These tortillas freeze well when stacked with parchment paper between them.
