In a large mixing bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, egg whites, unsweetened almond milk, salt, baking powder, ground cumin, and paprika until smooth and well combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, swirling it around to evenly coat the bottom.
Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden brown.
Carefully flip the tortilla using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
Transfer the cooked tortilla to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve the tortillas warm, or let them cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
