Yes, I know that there is a low carb tortilla on the market, but it's really not considered "keto" because it is made with wheat and starches. With 19 total carbs per tortilla it's pretty high, yes it does contain 15 grams of fiber to offset the total carbs. These store bought tortillas can work in a pinch if you've planned for them. But, my homemade tortillas are gluten free and super low carb.
Plus, they work great for wraps, soft tacos, even dessert pastry. Here's the recipe:
Keto Tortillas
Ingredients:
2 whole eggs
2 egg whites
6 oz cream cheese
2 tsp ground psyllium husk
2 Tbsp coconut flour
1/2 tsp salt
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°
Using a hand mixer, whisk eggs for several minutes. Add cream cheese and continue mixing until smooth. In a separate bowl combine psyllium husk, coconut flour and salt. Continuing to mix, add dry mixture to wet 1 spoonful at a time. Let batter sit for several minutes until it thickens to the consistency of pancake batter.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon approximately 1/4-1/2 cup of batter onto parchment paper and using a spatula, spread to 1/4" thick (or less) into a circle. Bake for 5 -10 minutes. Watch tortillas carefully so they don't burn.
Enjoy!
