Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk powder, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to mix everything together until a dough forms.
Knead the dough in the bowl for about 2 minutes. The dough should be smooth and slightly sticky, but if it's too sticky, add a little more almond flour, a tablespoon at a time.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
Place a piece of parchment paper on your work surface, then place one dough ball on it. Cover the dough with another piece of parchment paper.
Use a rolling pin to roll the dough ball between the two sheets of parchment paper until it's about 6 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. When hot, place a tortilla on the skillet (remove parchment paper) and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden spots form. Repeat for all tortillas.
Once all tortillas are cooked, they are ready to be served or stored. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
