In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, salt, and baking powder. Mix well until all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the olive oil and hot water. Slowly pour this liquid into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a dough begins to form.
Add the egg to the dough and knead it gently with your hands for about 2-3 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a bit more almond flour.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Place a ball of dough between two sheets of parchment paper and use a rolling pin to flatten it into a thin, round tortilla β about 1/8 inch thick.
Repeat the rolling process with the remaining dough balls.
Heat the avocado oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, gently add one tortilla in the pan.
Fry the tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until it becomes golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to flip the tortilla carefully.
Remove the fried tortilla from the pan and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining rolled tortillas.
Serve the keto fried tortillas warm as a side dish or as a crispy base for your favorite toppings or fillings.
