Servings 1 tortilla

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp almond flour
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour
  • 2 tsp psyllium husks ground to a powder (can be purchased already ground)
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup hot water

Instructions
 

  • TIP: Use a coffee grinder to grind a few tablespoons of psyllium husks at a time. Then, store it in jars. It makes grinding easier, and means that you will have it already ground when you need them.
  • Once ground, combine 2 teaspoons psyllium husks with the almond flour, coconut flour, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
  • Add water. Stir and form into a small ball or disc of dough. (See photos below).
  • Heat a cast iron skillet and brush lightly with oil.
  • While the skillet is heating, roll the dough between two pieces of parchment paper into a 4- to 5-inch tortilla.
  • Remove the top piece of parchment and turn the tortilla onto a hot cast iron skillet. Remove the remaining piece of parchment.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until lightly golden.
  • Fill with your favorite fillings as you would a tortilla. Serve and Enjoy!
