Instructions how to make keto tortillas

• Place the flax seeds, coconut flour, almond flour and psyllium husks into a bowl.
• For best results make sure you use whole psyllium husks. Using whole husks makes the tortillas more compact and flexible.
• Add any of your favorite seasonings.
• Add the ground chia seeds. To grind them, use a blender and pulse until powdered.
• Pour in the water and mix until well combined using your hands. If needed, add a few more tablespoons of water. Be careful not to use too much, or the dough will get too sticky and difficult to roll.
• Let the dough rest in the fridge or on the kitchen counter for up to an hour.
• Remove from the fridge and cut the dough into 6 equal pieces.
• Place a piece of the dough between two pieces of baking paper and roll out until the dough is very thin.
• Alternatively, use a nonstick silicon covered roller and a silicon mat.
• Use an 8-inch lid or bowl to cut out the tortillas.
• Repeat with the remaining dough and the cut off until you get 10 tortillas. If you have any dough left, use it for making nachos.
• Preheat a heavy-bottom pan greased with just 1 teaspoon of ghee or lard.
• Therefore, place the tortillas, one at a time, on top of the hot pan and cook over a medium heat on one side for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.
• Turn on the other side and cook for 30-60 more seconds.

Note: Don’t overcook or the tortillas will become too crispy and will lose their flexibility.

• Grease more when needed and repeat for the rest of the tortillas.
