Why These are the BEST Keto Tortillas Recipe
I have always been a tortilla fan and this keto tortilla recipe is no exception.
You may know I have a range of keto wraps premix products. And, you may also know I am a big lover of Mexican cuisine. So, it was important for me to create some great tortillas to go with it. I love this recipe for so many reasons!

Low carb – the tortillas are very low carb at only 1g net carbs per serve.

Key Ingredients in Keto Tortillas
Scroll to the bottom of this post for the amount of each ingredient needed to make these insanely good keto tortillas.
These low carb tortillas are super simple to make. With easy to source supermarket ingredients you can make your own keto tortillas way cheaper and cleaner than the supermarket options.
Almond flour or meal – this forms the base of the keto almond flour tortillas. I do have some substitutes below in the FAQs if you require the tortilla recipe to be nut-free.
Apple cider vinegar – do NOT leave out this ingredient. Apple cider vinegar helps to strengthen the dough and give the “stretch” you know so well in everyday tortillas.
Xanthan Gum – helps to bind and hold the wraps together. I have tested with chia flour as a replacement. It works but is nowhere near as good so I haven’t added it as an alternative.
Egg – the egg should be at room temperature, fresh and pasture-raised (if possible). Cold egg will give the tortillas an eggy-taste. The egg can be replaced with 40g of avocado for an egg-free keto tortilla.
Coconut flour – I promise at this amount you don’t taste it or smell it. The coconut flour adds extra flexibility to the wraps.
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1. Place all ingredients into a food processor or large bowl. Mix until it becomes a firm dough. It is important to mix until evenly combined and no linger stocky before turning out to knead and cut into portions.
Step 2. Knead the dough until smooth. Cut the dough into 8 pieces and allow it to rest for 10-15 minutes.
Step 3. Roll out each piece of dough between two sheets of baking paper (about 2 mm thick). Use a tortilla ring or a 16cm side plate to cut the tortillas into shape. Remove the trimmings and set aside (these will create enough dough for another tortilla – a total of 9 x 16 cm diameter tortillas from this mixture).
Step 4. Cook over medium-low heat in a dry pan, 10-15 seconds each side until lightly cooked (the longer you cook or the higher the heat the more you will dry out the tortillas). Transfer to a clean towel and wrap to keep warm and soft. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
HOT TIP! Cook only until lightly bubbled and flecked. Do not overcook or you will end up with crispy keto tortillas!
Substitutions and FAQs
The lowest carb tortillas on the market are possibly my Mad Creations Soft Wrap Premix. At only 1.1g net carbs per serve and clean keto ingredients they are a great choice.
To make these tortillas into a taco shell hang the over a taco shell rack or over 2 rings of the oven shelves and bake at 160°C until crisp and lightly golden. Remove and allow to cool before filling.
You can make these nut free. You will need to increase the coconut flour to 75g and add 40g of sesame flour or sunflour. Also add an extra 2 tablespoons of water to the mixture as the coconut flour is very thirsty.
You can roll the dough and cook as needed. The dough can also be frozen and thawed in the fridge overnight before use.

To calculate the weight of one serving, prepare the recipe as instructed. Weigh the finished recipe, then divide the weight of the finished recipe by 9. The result will be the weight of one serving.
Nutritional values shown are guidelines only. They are for 1 serving using the ingredients listed. Actual macros may vary slightly depending on the brands and types of ingredients used.
I do not use weight per portion for the nutritional as it would require exacting ingredients and uniform tortillas and ingredients distribution in each tortilla e.g. does each low carb tortilla have the exact thickness etc. This is why recipes are based on the ingredients used and divided into portions as a rough guide only!
