Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 8 tortillas
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup water
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup almond flour, ¼ cup coconut flour, 1 tsp salt, 2 eggs, and ½ cup water.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, and salt. Mix well to ensure that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they are well combined. Add the eggs to the dry mixture.
- Gradually add the water to the mixture, stirring continuously until a dough forms. The dough should be moist but not sticky. If it feels too dry, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time.
- Once the dough is formed, divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can lightly grease the skillet with a small amount of oil if desired.
- Place one dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Using a rolling pin, flatten the dough into a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter.
- Carefully peel off the top layer of parchment paper and transfer the flattened tortilla to the preheated skillet.
- Cook the tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on one side, or until it starts to puff up and develop light brown spots. Flip it over and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side.
- Remove the cooked tortilla from the skillet and place it on a plate. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm while you cook the remaining tortillas.
- Repeat the rolling and cooking process for the remaining dough balls, ensuring that you keep the tortillas covered to maintain their softness.
- Once all tortillas are cooked, serve them warm with your favorite fillings or toppings.
Tips
- Consistency is Key: Ensure your dough is not too dry or too wet. The right moisture level is crucial for creating flexible, pliable tortillas.
- Use Parchment Paper: Rolling the dough between parchment paper prevents sticking and makes transferring to the skillet much easier.
- Medium Heat Matters: Cook your tortillas on medium heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- Keep Tortillas Warm: Cover cooked tortillas with a clean kitchen towel to maintain their softness and prevent them from drying out.
- Experiment with Thickness: Practice rolling to achieve your desired tortilla thickness. Thinner tortillas will be more delicate, while slightly thicker ones might be more sturdy.
- Storage Tip: If you're not serving immediately, store cooled tortillas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
