Can You Make Tortillas With Almond Flour?
Oh yes, these easy gluten free almond flour tortillas are made from almond flour and a few other ingredients like eggs, psyllium husks, and gelatin powder, all of which help give them a pliable, and roll-able texture.
How To Make Keto Tortillas
It’s super easy to make keto tortillas with almond flour:
- Mix up the keto tortilla dough. Add the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, gelatin powder, and sea salt in a food processor. Process until uniform.
- Add the eggs and water. Process until the dough pulls away from the sides and forms a ball.
TIP: If the dough is dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time, until the dough forms.
- Section out the tortillas. Cut the dough into 6 sections. I like to flatten the dough into a disc and then cut like a pie.
- Shape the tortillas. Roll each section into a ball (about the size of a golfball!) and flatten the tortillas into 1/8-inch thick circle, either with a rolling pin or tortilla press.
- Cook the keto tortillas. Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium heat and cook tortilla for about 30-60 seconds per side, until golden.
TIP: Don’t add too much oil to the pan, or the tortillas will get crispy and break when you try to bend them!
Three Tips For The Best Keto Almond Flour Tortillas
TIP #1: Don’t let get the edges of the tortillas get too disk or crispy, otherwise they will break when you try to fold them.
TIP #2: Fold the tortillas gently when you need to fold or roll them.
TIP #3: If the tortillas get stiff as they cool, you can reheat them in the microwave or oven at 300 degrees F to make them more pliable.

No, corn tortillas are not keto friendly. An average serving of corn tortillas (2 small tortillas) is about 20+ grams of carbs, way too many for a small amount of food.

How Many Carbs In Almond Flour Tortillas?
One of these tortillas made with almond flour has just 3 grams net carbs! You can have your keto friendly tortillas and eat them too! 🙂
How Do You Store Keto Tortillas?
These keto tortillas should be stored in the refrigerator. I always recommend putting a layer of parchment or wax paper in between the layers, so they don’t stick together. Then, you can store them in a plastic bag or airtight container.
How To Freeze Keto Almond Flour Tortillas
The good news is that these keto almond flour tortillas can be frozen, so you can always have a stash in the freezer.
Let the almond tortillas cool completely, and store them in a freezer-safe bag.
TIP: When you freeze them, it’s especially important to use a layer of parchment paper in between the layers, so that the almond flour wraps don’t stick together.

Combine the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, gelatin powder, and sea salt in a food processor. Process until uniform.
Add the eggs and water. Process until the dough pulls away from the sides and forms a ball. If it's too dry, add more water a tablespoon at a time until the dough forms. It should be dense, moist, and dough-y, not wet or dry. Scrape any ingredients stuck to the sides with a spatula if needed.
Cut the dough ball into 6 sections. (The easiest way is to flatten into a disc and cut like a pie.)
Roll each section into a ball, about the size of a golf ball, then roll into a 1/8-inch-thick (.3 cm) circle between two pieces of parchment paper. (You can also flatten using a tortilla press if you have one.)
Heat a very lightly oiled pan over medium heat. (Do not add too much oil or the tortillas will get crisp.) Add a tortilla and cook for 30-60 seconds per side, until golden. Flip and repeat on the other side. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Made these last night for Taco Tuesday. Since I don’t have a tortilla press I rolled them out. I found that it was difficult doing this between the two pieces of parchment as the one the dough was on kept slipping all over the counter and I had to put something heavy on it to keep it still (which sort of worked) and while it DID stick to the paper, I pulled the edge and slipped a spatula underneath and it came up with no issues. I also had a bit of a problem rolling it into a circle (because of the paper moving about) so they were quite misshapen. No worries though! I used a muffin tin to make them into shells. 🙂 I think the next time I make them I’m going to add more oil so that they ARE a bit crisper and make them into shells again.
Jasmine m
Hi, is the nutrition facts of 172 for all 6 tortillas? Or is that for 1 tortilla ?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Jasmine, The nutrition facts are per tortilla. Enjoy!
Amber
I absolutely love all the great recipes! So easy to whip up… and delicious! Thanks for all the great tips too!
Amanda
Gahhhh! These are so good! I ate mine with your barbacoa recipe. It was to DIE for. I wasn’t able to fold mine, but it could have been user error haha. So I went in tostada style. I’m so so excited to have this recipe. Thank you so much!
Joan
Love this! It’s the first low carb tortilla that I found that actually turns out and stays pliable without totally falling apart! Thank you!
Luke Porter
These work great! I did have to add 1/4 cup more almond flour than the recipe called for. But these are fantastic!
Vanessa
I didn’t have the psyllium Husk powder so I used Flaxseed meal instead and it was delicious ! It worked for me I loved this recipe
Cy Marshall
These are delicious but I have trouble rolling them thin. When I roll between parchment it sticks and I cant get it released from the parchment. Anything I can do? I read about what to do if the dough is too dry,maybe mine is too wet, therefore sticky?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Cy, The parchment should release easily. If the dough is too wet, you can add a small amount of almond flour to help make the dough more workable.
Mary
There is no way this could be rolled out. It was doughy, but stuck to everything I tried to use. When I did try to peel it off, (wax paper, parchment paper) it fell apart. What a waste of ingredients. I followed the directions exactly.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Mary, I’m sorry these didn’t turn out as you had hoped. It sounds like your dough was too wet. When this happens and your dough is too sticky to use, please put it in the fridge for 15-30 minutes. The consistency will change and it will become more workable.
Ken Remley
Is the Husk powder and gelatin powder required? Any ideas where to find it in smaller quantities. Although not super expensive, I just dont what else I would do with it.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Ken, Yes, they are required to make them pliable. You may be able to get away with just one or the other but have not tested it to confirm amounts or how pliable they would be. You can reuse psyllium husk powder in recipes like low carb almond flour bread and reuse gelatin in recipes like keto crepes.
Ashley B Bourgeois
Mine fell apart in the pan when I flipped them and when I took them out of the pan, the one that stayed together, it was very brittle. I followed directions as written
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Ashley, It sounds like these tortillas were overcooked. The psyllium husk and gelatin should have made them soft and pliable.
Humera
Hello
Can you you agar agar instead of the gelatin. I need kosher and not sure if I can get plain kosher gelatin
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Humera, Yes, you can use agar agar in place of gelatin.

Melanie
Can Xanthan gum be used in place of the gelatin?
Wholesome Yum A
Hi Melanie, I haven’t tried that so I can’t say for sure. If you do, start with half the amount.
Nikki
Did you try the xanthum gum? I have that but not gelatin powder!
Cidi
Can I replace the beef gelatin with another ingredient?
Wholesome Yum A
Hi Cidi, I have only tested gelatin here so I wouldn’t recommend substituting it.
Karen Clement
Hi, I haven’t made the recipe yet, looking always for a nice totilla shell I can have but alas it has the psyllium husks. Can you sub in flax meal for it, or would it not have the same results?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Karen, Flax meal should work, however, the tortillas will not be as pliable with flax over the psyllium husks.
Cassie
I’m in my first month of living and loving keto. I can’t wait to try your chaffle recipes and ordered two Dash Mini Waffle Makers this morning: one for home and one for the breakroom at work. 🙂 Then I was so inspired by the idea of making fresh lunches I ordered two of the Dash Mini Griddles, too.
Do you think I could use the griddle to cook smaller sized tortillas? If so, do you think that would be 1/6th or 1/8th of the dough ball?
Thank you, Maya! Your recipes and support are fabulous and I check your site every day. I plan to use recipes from your keto sweets book very soon.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Cassie, If the griddle is the same size around as the waffle maker, I would guess that you could get 12 slightly thicker tortillas out of a full batch.
