These Low Carb Tortillas are everything you are craving since going low-carb. Ready yourself for taco Tuesday with these 1 Net Carb Tortillas.
I saw a version of these somewhere and my imagination immediately started to do cartwheels. I was initially a little concerned about them tasting too eggy to be used like regular tortillas.
To my surprise, they were really, really tasty!
Adjusting to this Low Carb Tortilla Batter and Tortilla Tips
- I will say that the batter takes a little getting used to working with.
- Allow the batter to sit for about 5 to 10 minutes before you start to cook it, the whole process will be better because it allows the psyllium husks to absorb liquid and expand, giving you more of an actual batter consistency.
- You want to pour the batter onto a hot skillet and then with a spoon gently continue to push the batter outwards until it reaches your desired sized. The thinner you make it the thinner your tortillas will be.
Our secret ingredient for our low carb tortillas
- Psyllium Husk! (affiliate link) Its actually used often for vegan egg replacements but in this case it works amazing for our tortillas.
- With this secret ingredient 6 tortillas are just 1 Net Carb. You are welcome.
I bet you could make tortilla chips with these tortillas! Ok we are trying that next. Sliced and baked tortillas make tortilla chips so I dont see why this wouldnt for this!
Making tortillas ahead of time or meal-preps
- I wanted to have fajitas for dinner, so I made these up the night before and chilled them in the fridge overnight.
- Then I made my fajitas as usual and warmed these on the stove top like a regular tortilla and used them for my wraps. Im telling you, they were delicious!! In fact, I could eat these all by themselves (I did, actually)!
I plan on investigating more possibilities with egg and psyllium husk. I really feel like the possibilities are endless with this combination! These were absolutely wonderful and they are even great with spices added like cumin. Give it a try!
HOW MANY CARBS PER LOW CARB TORTILLA
1 Net Carbs per tortilla. You can easily make them larger or smaller and that will change the carb count. So if you want to make these even smaller then that is something that you can do!
I think the most perfect part of this recipe is its just 1 Net Carb and I feel like weve been missing out on the good things in life. Because in this household Taco Tuesday is a real holiday and weve got to get our taco cravings curbed.
