Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk powder
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to ensure that the dry ingredients are well-blended.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the water and olive oil until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously with a spatula or wooden spoon until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
Place a portion of dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a thin, round tortilla approximately 6 inches in diameter. Repeat with remaining dough portions.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully peel one tortilla off its parchment paper and place it onto the hot skillet.
Cook the tortilla for about 2-3 minutes on one side until it begins to brown and turn firm. Flip the tortilla gently and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side.
Remove the cooked tortilla from the skillet and place it on a plate, covering it with a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm and soft.
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining tortillas.
Serve the tortillas warm with your favorite low-carb fillings or toppings.
