Low carb tortillas recipe

[Mark Parrott]

Did this one last night & they turned out brilliantly. I used them to make Enchiladas. Sorry it uses the American cup system of measurements, but there are conversion tables online.

• ⅓ cup water
• ¾ cup egg whites (about 4 or 5 egg whites)
• ¼ cup coconut flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon cummin
• ½ teaspoon chili powder

1. Combine all ingredients using food processor or blender. Let mixture rest for 7-8 minutes to allow coconut flour to absorb some of liquid.
2. Preheat a lightly oiled 10-inch nonstick skillet over low-medium heat.
3. Once moderately heated, pour ¼ cup or so of the batter into the center while tilting to spread the batter to about 7-8 inches in diameter. Flip tortilla once the top is no longer shinny and sticky. Repeat for second one.
4. At this point the skillet is most likely fully heated. So, reapply oil and *pickup* the skillet and pour batter using same tilt technique and place back onto burner. Repeat for fourth one.
5. Place each on parchment paper and slightly wipe off any access oil. Do not stack as they may stick to each other.

They are like pancakes in texture, so would probably also make good sweet pancakes by not adding the savoury bits.

Thanks for sharing that Mark. Do they taste nice? And what did you do with the egg yolks?
As they don't need to be aerated, do you think it would work with whole eggs instead?

I have no idea what will happen if you use whole eggs. I tried making pancakes a while back using coconut flour & eggs and it ended up a gloopy mess. As for the leftover yolks, they are still in the fridge. The taste is very much pancake like rather than tortilla like, which is why I think they would make good sweet pancakes.

I feel an experiment is due. Might try this on Wednesday when I have only myself to cook for.
