Don’t be fooled by those low “net carb” keto tortillas you find in stores. Most of them contain wheat and gluten which aren’t so keto-friendly.

You should also question the net carb claims and do your own test to find out if the carbs do impact you or not.

Because it’s so difficult to find store-bought low-carb tortillas, I’ve been making my own at home. And, the process is much simpler than you’d think!

The dough comes together so quickly and the cooking time is less than ten minutes.

 Why You'll Love It

These coconut flour tortillas are the perfect replacement for corn tortillas. You can finally enjoy keto tacos again! I love to use them to make breakfast burritos and wraps of all kinds.

You'll also really enjoy how easy they are. It's a simple recipe that gives you the ability to eat tortillas without all the carbs.

Ingredients

There are only 6 basic ingredients in these flavorful tortillas. All the exact amounts are in the printable recipe card, but here is a little more information about what I used.

Flour

I prefer to use psyllium husk in mine to give them a whole grain gluten-like texture without the grains or gluten. However, if you have trouble finding psyllium husks or psyllium husk powder, you can use flax meal instead.

They both work great for these grain-free coconut flour tortillas. Then, combine coconut flour to the mix to give them a softer mouthfeel.

Spices

For the flavor and texture, I used baking powder and sea salt.

Eggs

The eggs act as an emulsifier, keeping all the ingredients together.

Oil

Use your favorite type of oil to fry the tortillas. I love avocado oil but olive oil will work too.

Please note: Check out the recipe card at the bottom for a full list of ingredients used to make this low-carb recipe.

Tips

  • When using psyllium, it’s best to use an aluminum free baking powder. Aluminum can sometimes react with psyllium and create an off color.
  • Place a non-stick wrap on the top and bottom of each dough ball before flattening. Plastic wrap works well.
  • A rolling pin can be used to flatten the dough. But, if you are going to be making your own tortillas regularly, it’s best to invest in a tortilla maker like this 8 inch cast iron press.
  • Psyllium gels up quickly when water is added so be sure to mix in the water quickly to form a uniform dough.
  • It helps to sift the coconut flour first to remove any lumps before using.
  • Beating the eggs before adding to the dry ingredients will ensure they are mixed in properly.

Instructions

This is such an easy low-carb tortillas recipe! You’ll be able to have these keto flatbreads ready in no time at all.

Mix The Ingredients Together

First, combine the psyllium, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Then blend in the eggs to form a crumbly mixture.

Add in about ¼ cup of hot water then stir to form a dough.

Form The Tortillas

Divide the dough into six equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Flatten each dough ball into a round tortilla shape.

Grill The Coconut Flour Tortillas

Grill both sides of each tortilla to lightly brown in a frying pan, cast iron skillet, or on a griddle. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.

️ Serving Suggestions

There are so many different ways you can use these versatile and yummy tortillas!

For a quick and easy dinner pair them with sheet pan shrimp fajitas that bake in the oven. Or, chicken fajita keto kabobs cook easily outdoors on the grill and make a great filling.

For busy days, pair these coconut flour tortillas with slow cooker taco meat that cooks up while at work or running errands. Try taco dip with meat as a tasty filling!

Fill them with a taco-flavored ground beef cauliflower rice skillet dish. Enjoy a low-carb quesadilla appetizer or snack.

You can also slice the tortillas and bake them into low-carb tortilla chips to serve with a keto taco salad!

FAQS

Before I get to the printable recipe card, here are some questions people often ask about how to make coconut flour tortillas. If you don't see your question in this list, please leave it in the comments.

How do you make vegan tortillas?

Do you want to make these coconut flour tortillas egg-free? If so, you can use a psyllium or flax egg substitute. Alternatively, you could make my egg-free almond flour tortillas.

Where can I buy coconut flour tortillas?

Although I’ve seen paleo tortillas made with coconut flour sold at retailers, none of them are keto-friendly, so you'll still need to make your own. However, there are commercially sold coconut wraps that are low in carbs.

How do you store leftover coconut flour tortillas?

Keep them covered and you can store the tortillas at room temperature for up to a week. If you want them to last longer, I suggest keeping them in the refrigerator or the freezer.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup whole psyllium husks
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • ½ teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup hot water plus additional if needed
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil (for cooking)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In medium bowl, whisk together psyllium, coconut flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Blend in eggs to form a crumbly mixture.
  • Add in ¼ cup hot water to form a dough. If needed, add in additional hot water.
  • Divide dough into 6 balls. Then flatten each ball as thin as possible into round tortilla shapes using a rolling pin or tortilla press.
  • Heat oil onto griddle or skillet to about 325°F. Grill each side of the tortillas to lightly brown. Cool on wire rack. Keep leftovers stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

If using psyllium powder in place of whole husks, you'll need to use about half the amount.
Flax meal can be used in place of psyllium.
The tortillas become more pliable when cooled completely.

    I tried this recipe yesterday after an epic fail at another coconut flour tortilla recipe from a different website. That recipe is for poured tortillas and doesn't work well if you don't have a non-stick pan. Well, I don't want to shell out money for something I'll use for just one recipe, so I was hopeful when I found this one. I weighed the dough before dividing it into six balls utilizing the scale, then rolled out each ball between two sheets of parchment paper per the instructions in your pie crust recipe. I was looking for thinner tortillas that are a little bigger than what I'd be able to achieve otherwise. The parchment came off on one side fairly quickly but stuck to the other. My solution was to put it in the skillet "as is" with the tortilla in the oil. I gently pressed the tortilla, encouraging it to cook and loosen from the parchment. By that time, the tortilla was ready for turning. I then rolled out the next tortilla, reusing the same parchment as the second side of the tortilla cooked in the skillet. After removing the tortilla and placing it on the wire rack to cool, I finished rolling the next tortilla and repeated the process. I found the skillet needed more oil after two tortillas, which helped them cook and release from the pan well. I like the ease of cooking these tortillas AND how they taste compared to the other recipe. I also love that this recipe uses only two eggs for six tortillas versus SIX eggs for twelve. A half-dozen is plenty for me and will last a week. I reused the parchment by cutting it up to separate the tortillas in a storage container before putting them in the fridge. I especially appreciate the easy clean-up afterward. Thank you for this tasty recipe!

    I must admit that I found 12 grams of carbs per serving is quite high. This probably would be lower with almond flour, as Coconut flour is quite high in carbs

      It's because of the fiber which makes net carbs 3g. The almond flour tortilla version has 9g total carbs and 2g net carbs.

    This definitely tuned out to be more of a naan bred than tortillas. Goon recipe none the less! Will use it with curry next time.

      It should work, but the amount will be less. You might want to start with 1 or 2 tablespoons and see how the dough is.

    Thanks for all the helpful tips on making these! Even though it takes a few more minutes to sift the coconut flour, I've found that helpful for all sorts of recipes - making it lighter and more workable.
