This recipe is seriously the easiest keto tortillas and it’s very fast to make as well! You can be enjoying homemade low-carb tortillas in under 20 minutes, start to finish! That’s a win if you ask me!

It’s certainly a recipe you will want to make often. These gluten-free tortillas use a combination of flax meal, psyllium husk, and xanthan gum to create their amazing flexibility.

Because they are so flexible they are great for making tacos and quesadillas. 

Bravenly premium supplements

Another great thing about them is that because they’re packed with fiber they’re actually quite filling!

And since they are filling, I find them to be perfect to make on the smaller size (about 5 inches) and use them to make street-style tacos that are low in carbs!

Why Make Your Own Keto Tortillas?

You might be wondering why you should make your own low-carb tortillas when there are a few brands that make them and can be found at most grocery stores now. 

The answer is quite simple when you make your own tortillas you know exactly what’s going into them.

Although these store-bought low-carb tortillas may taste just like traditional tortillas they tend to still be made with wheat flour.

Many also use other flours such as tapioca starch or rice flour which are still relatively high in carbs. 

They manage to get a smaller number of net carbs by solely bumping up the fiber, this isn’t always beneficial especially for someone who is trying to lose weight.

The reason is that you’re taking in a lot more carbs than you think and it can be why you may be unable to get into ketosis.

This is the case for many of the “keto bread” sold in a lot of stores. They can be helpful at the beginning of your journey or when a big craving hits but I don’t recommend having them often because of this.

It’s best to make your own and be sure of your macros, especially when they’re so quick and easy to make!

How To Make Keto Tortillas

Disclosure: Some of the links below are affiliate links, meaning at no additional cost to you, I will earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase. 

You’ll start by grinding your flax meal into a fine powder in a clean, dry coffee/spice grinder. Then you’ll combine all of your dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and add in the hot water and your choice of coconut or olive oil. 

After the dough comes together you’ll cover your bowl with a kitchen towel and allow it to rest for 10 minutes. Then it’s just a matter of dividing your dough evenly and shaping your tortillas. 

I find it easiest to roll the dough into balls and flatten and shape them with the palm of my hand. The dough will be slightly sticky, this is normal. To cook the tortillas you’ll need a non-stick pan on medium heat.

Cook each side of the tortilla for about 30 to 40 seconds until toasted and golden brown. 

Do you know what else is great about these keto tortillas? The fact that they are made of flax meal means they are also high in fiber. Winning! If you are a fan of adding more fiber to your keto diet, you should also check out our collection of keto high fiber recipes.
