Low-carb cheese and almond tortillas

31

Soft, foldable tortillas made from just melted mozzarella and almond flour, rolled thin between parchment and baked for a few minutes. Part-skim mozzarella is what gives the dough its stretch, so they hold tacos and breakfast wraps.

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment.
  2. Stir the mozzarella, almond flour and salt together in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 30-second bursts, stirring, until it forms one smooth ball, about 90 seconds. Knead it briefly while hot.
  3. Divide into 8 balls. Keep the other balls in the warm bowl, and give the bowl 5-10 seconds in the microwave if the dough stiffens. Work quickly, since the dough only stretches while hot. Roll each between two sheets of parchment into a thin round about 6 inch across, and peel onto the trays.
  4. Bake 5-7 minutes, until the edges just begin to brown. Watch closely, because they burn easily.
  5. Stack them in a clean towel so they stay soft as they cool. They keep 4 days in the fridge with parchment between them, or freeze 3 months. Warm each for 10 seconds in a dry pan before folding.

Good to know

Why did mine crack when I folded them?

They cooled uncovered or baked too long. Keep them wrapped in the towel, and warm them briefly before you fold them.

Can I cook them in a pan?

Yes. Use a dry nonstick pan over medium heat and give each one about a minute a side.

Computed from the ingredients with our published formula, not yet kitchen-tested. How

As written, 994 kcal goes into the pot and 265 g of ingredients comes out as about 244 g of food: 407 kcal per 100 g. Cooking moves water and energy density is the score's biggest lever, so the dish is scored as cooked, not as an average of its parts. Every ingredient links to its food page, with the same data and score. The label's percentages are each macronutrient's share of the calories. The full formula.
