Ingredients
Almond Flour Tortillas
- 1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
- 1 tablespoon whole psyllium husks
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix together the almond flour, whole psyllium husks, and salt. Gradually add the warm water and apple cider vinegar, stirring first with a spoon and then kneading with your hands until a cohesive dough forms.
- Shape Dough & Let Rest: Shape the dough into a ball and allow it to rest for at least 10 minutes. This resting period is crucial as it lets the psyllium husks hydrate fully, helping the dough hold together better.
- Divide Dough: Portion the dough into 6 to 8 equal pieces, depending on whether you want larger or smaller tortillas.
- Roll Out Dough: Take each piece and roll it between two sheets of parchment paper into a roughly 1/8-inch thick circle. Avoid rolling too thinly to prevent tearing. Gently peel off the top parchment paper.
- Cook Tortillas: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil or cooking spray if desired. Place the rolled dough into the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the underside is lightly golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes on the other side.
- Wrap Tortillas in Towel: Remove cooked tortillas from the skillet and immediately wrap them in a clean kitchen towel to retain moisture and prevent drying while cooking the remaining tortillas.
- Serve & Enjoy: Serve the tortillas warm as bases for your favorite fillings or dishes and enjoy the gluten-free, vegan goodness.
Notes
- Resting the dough is essential for proper hydration of psyllium husks, which provides flexibility to the tortillas.
- Use parchment paper to roll out the dough to prevent sticking and ensure easy transfer to the skillet.
- Do not roll the dough too thin to avoid tearing during cooking.
- These tortillas are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored wrapped in a towel inside an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before serving.
- For oil-free cooking, omit greasing the skillet and rely on a high-quality nonstick pan.
