Keto Tortillas – Easy Low Carb, Paleo Tortillas

This keto tortilla recipe was originally written and created for my first cookbook Savour, back in September 2017. The recipe was also shared here in February 2018.

It has now been updated with a few changes to the original recipe and loads of new substitutes and updates to make the recipe better.

Key Ingredients in Keto Tortillas

Scroll to the bottom of this post for the amount of each ingredient needed to make these insanely good keto tortillas.

These low carb tortillas are super simple to make. With easy to source supermarket ingredients you can make your own keto tortillas way cheaper and cleaner than the supermarket options.

Almond flour or meal – this forms the base of the keto almond flour tortillas. I do have some substitutes below in the FAQs if you require the tortilla recipe to be nut-free.

Apple cider vinegar – do NOT leave out this ingredient. Apple cider vinegar helps to strengthen the dough and give the “stretch” you know so well in everyday tortillas.

Xanthan Gum – helps to bind and hold the wraps together. I have tested with chia flour as a replacement. It works but is nowhere near as good so I haven’t added it as an alternative.

Egg – the egg should be at room temperature, fresh and pasture-raised (if possible). Cold egg will give the tortillas an eggy-taste. The egg can be replaced with 40g of avocado for an egg-free keto tortilla.

Coconut flour – I promise at this amount you don’t taste it or smell it. The coconut flour adds extra flexibility to the wraps.

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1. Place all ingredients into a food processor or large bowl. Mix until it becomes a firm dough. It is important to mix until evenly combined and no linger stocky before turning out to knead and cut into portions.

Step 2. Knead the dough until smooth. Cut the dough into 8 pieces and allow it to rest for 10-15 minutes.

Step 3. Roll out each piece of dough between two sheets of baking paper (about 2 mm thick). Use a tortilla ring or a 16cm side plate to cut the tortillas into shape. Remove the trimmings and set aside (these will create enough dough for another tortilla – a total of 9 x 16 cm diameter tortillas from this mixture).

Step 4. Cook over medium-low heat in a dry pan, 10-15 seconds each side until lightly cooked (the longer you cook or the higher the heat the more you will dry out the tortillas). Transfer to a clean towel and wrap to keep warm and soft. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
