Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Blanched almond flour
- 1/4 cup Unflavored protein powder
- 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 4 large Egg whites
- 1/2 cup Warm water
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, protein powder, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until they are frothy. This will add a bit of fluffiness to the tortillas.
Gradually add the frothy egg whites into the dry mixture, stirring continuously. Pour in the warm water while mixing, ensuring the batter becomes smooth with no lumps.
Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the psyllium husk powder to absorb moisture and thicken the batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet, spreading it evenly to form a round tortilla shape. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to firm up and small bubbles form on the surface.
Flip the tortilla and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown on the other side.
Repeat with remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
Keep the cooked tortillas warm or serve them immediately with your choice of filling.
