Using xanthan gum or psyllium husk powder to make these keto tortillas:
I have tried to make these grain-free tortillas using both xanthan gum and Psyllium husk powder. Here are my notes:
Using xanthan gum makes the dough runny and easy to cook. Also, it gives more keto wraps. While using psyllium husk powder makes the dough less malleable and not runny. So, I had to use more water for making the dough pliable. But both give the same quality of these lovely low carb wraps.
Instructions for making these keto tortillas:
1- Add eggs and mozzarella cheese in the food processor and mix until well-combined.
2- Then add flax seeds, psyllium husk powder and all the spices (salt, chilli powder, onion powder, garlic powder) keep mixing on high speed.
3- After that, add 1/4 of the water and mix.
4- On a non-stick frying pan, add some olive oil. Then, scoop 1/4 cup from the batter in the pan, and swirl the pan around.
5- Once the top starts to form bubbles, flip the low carb wraps into the other side.
6- After that, add 1/4 of the water to the batter and mix using a spatula.
7- Then, scoop 1/4 cup of the batter in the pan, and swirl the pan around.
7- Then, repeat that until you finish all the batter.
Tips and suggestions for best keto wraps:
This flax seeds tortillas recipe uses a combination of flax seeds and psyllium husk powder. The psyllium husk acts like gluten and helps the keto tortillas hold their shape. Moreover, it makes the keto wraps pliable, chewy and soft.
However, in the case of allergies, you can use 1/4 Tsp Xanthan gum instead. In the case of using Xanthan gum, you should reduce the amount of water used in this recipe. So, use only 1/2 cup of water instead of one cup.
Also, These grain-free tortillas recipe can not be made with coconut flour or almond flour. This particular recipe depends on the flax seeds.
I have tried this recipe more than once to figure out the correct amount of psyllium husk powder. I have found that two tablespoons were the perfect amount as the low carb wraps were firm enough and didn’t break apart when cooked or rolled.
Do not reduce the amount of psyllium husk powder, as the keto tortillas may break apart when you cook them.
Add any spices you prefer to the batter; any spice will work well.
Blend the ingredients with the food processor very well. Certainly, you do not want any clumps in your low carb tortillas.
Flaxseed tends to absorb water. So, if you find your batter is getting too thick add some water.
Cook the tortillas on medium heat, that will give the best results.
These grain-free tortillas can be stored in the fridge or the freezer, but make sure to use a parchment paper between the wraps, so they do not stick together.
How to shape the low carb wraps using the skillet:
On a non-stick skillet, add some olive oil or butter. Then, scoop 1/4 cup from the batter in the skillet, and swirl the skillet around until the batter fills the bottom. After that, watch the keto wraps until bubbles start to form on the top. Flip the low carb tortilla into the other side. Now, after the two sides of the wrap turned to golden brown remove from the skillet.
Now, add 1/4 of the water to the rest of the batter and mix using a spatula. Then, scoop 1/4 cup from the batter in the pan, and swirl the pan around. And keep repeating that until the batter finishes.
Once cooked, move the keto tortillas to a plate to let them cool.
How to use these low-carb tortillas:
You can fill them with anything you prefer, For example:
Cooked minced beef, tomato, cucumber and mozzarella cheese. Or,
Tuna, mayonnaise and green olives. Also, you can fill these keto wraps with smoked salmon and avocado. Or cooked chicken with green pepper, tomatoes and cheddar cheese.
