Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tbsp xanthan gum
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt (or season to your liking)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until a dough-like ball forms, ensuring all components are well incorporated.
- Knead and Rest Dough: Remove the dough from the processor, cover it with plastic wrap, and knead it by hand for about one minute. Let it rest for 15 minutes to improve the dough’s flexibility and tortilla pliability.
- Divide and Roll Out: Divide the rested dough into four equal small balls. Place each ball between two sheets of parchment paper and flatten with your hand. Use a rolling pin to roll out each dough ball to about 6 inches in diameter, testing size with a 6-inch bowl.
- Trim and Shape: Remove the top parchment sheet and gently place the 6-inch bowl over the dough without pressing down. Trace around the bowl with a knife to trim the edges, saving the excess dough for later use.
- Make Extra Tortilla: Use the extra trimmed dough scraps to form a fifth tortilla by rolling it out similarly to the others.
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
- Cook Tortillas: Place each tortilla onto the hot skillet. Cook until the dough changes from a yellowish hue to an off-white, about 30 seconds. Flip and cook for an additional 5 seconds on the other side to maintain softness and pliability.
- Repeat: Cook the remaining tortillas following the same process, ensuring not to overcook to keep them soft.
Notes
- Do not skip resting the dough after kneading; this step improves tortilla flexibility.
- Cooking time is critical: avoid cooking the second side for more than 5 seconds to prevent dryness.
- You can reuse excess dough scraps by combining and re-rolling to make an additional tortilla.
- Use a non-stick skillet for even cooking and easy flipping.
- Season the tortillas lightly with salt or add other seasonings based on preference.
