Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, and salt
2. Slowly add the hot water to the dry mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms. The dough should be soft and pliable, but not too sticky. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water. If it is too sticky, add a little more almond flour
3. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then use a rolling pin to flatten it into a thin, round tortilla shape
4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until it is lightly browned and cooked. Repeat with the remaining tortillas

Note: if you are unable to find xanthan gum, you can substitute it with an equal amount of ground chia seeds, flax egg or psyllium husk.

It is important to use finely ground almond flour and coconut flour for the best texture and consistency for the keto corn tortillas. These flours can usually be found at most supermarkets or specialty health food stores or can be purchased online.

In addition to the basic ingredients, you can also add flavors or seasoning you fancy to the keto corn tortilla dough to customize the taste. Some options to consider include chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, or a pinch of sugar. Experiment with different combinations to find the flavor that works best for you.

If you prefer, you can also bake the corn keto tortillas in a 400°F oven for 5-7 minutes, or until they are lightly browned. Alternatively, you can grill the tortillas over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side.

Once the keto corn tortillas are cooked, they are ready to be used in your favorite Mexican-inspired dishes, such as tacos, burritos, quesadillas, or enchiladas. Enjoy them hot, or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for later use.

Serving and Storing

There are many delicious ways to serve and use keto vegan tortillas.

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

As a base for tacos: fill the keto corn tortillas with your favorite taco fillings, such as grilled veggies, beans, or tofu, and top with salsa, avocado, and vegan sour cream.

In burritos: roll the keto corn tortillas with beans, rice, veggies, and sauce for a tasty and convenient meal on the go.

In quesadillas: Spread a layer of vegan cheese on one side of the keto vegan tortilla, then top with veggies, beans, or tofu. Place another keto corn tortilla on top and cook in a skillet until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are lightly browned.

As a side dish: cut the keto corn tortillas into wedges and serve with dips or spreads, such as guacamole, hummus, or vegan queso.

To store the keto corn tortillas, wrap them in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container in the fridge. They will keep for 3-4 days or can be frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat the tortillas, place them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they are warm and pliable. You can also wrap them in foil and heat them in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes. Enjoy!

Variations and Substitutions

There are many ways to customize and vary the flavor of keto corn tortillas to suit your taste. 

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Add flavorings: Try adding a pinch of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, or sugar to the dough to give the keto corn tortillas a little extra flavor. You can also try using flavored almond flour, such as coconut or coffee-flavored, to add a unique twist.

Use different flours: In addition to almond and coconut flour, you can also try using other low-carb flour in your keto corn tortillas. Some options to consider include sunflower seed flour, sesame seed flour, or hazelnut flour.

Add vegetables: grate vegetables, such as zucchini or sweet potato, into the dough to add extra nutrition and flavor to the keto corn tortillas.

Use different shapes: instead of making traditional round tortillas, you can also try shaping the dough into different shapes, such as triangles or squares, for a fun and unique twist.

If you have specific dietary needs or allergies, you can also make substitutions to the keto corn tortilla recipe. For example, if you are allergic to nuts, you can try using sunflower seed or sesame seed flour instead of almond flour. 

If you are gluten-free, you can use chia seeds or flax egg in place of the xanthan gum. With a little creativity and experimentation, you can find the perfect variations and substitutions to suit your tastes and needs.
