With 5 grams of fiber each, .5 net carbs, and loads of Omega-3s, these soft tortillas are the best alternative I've found to traditional grain tortillas.

Ingredients

1 cup ground flax meal

2 tbsp. coconut flour

6 tbsp. egg whites

1/2 tsp. salt

Optional: Dried herbs, chili powder, garlic powder, or kelp powder are all great additions for a more flavorful tortilla

Tips

Flax meal is expensive, but flax seeds are pretty cheap, so I like to buy the seeds and grind them up in a coffee mill. Works great!

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl with a rubber spatula until the dough is stiff and fairly dry; you should be able to handle it without it sticking to you. Let it sit for 2 or 3 minutes before rolling.

Divide the dough into 8 even portions. Roll out each portion with a rolling pin until it's as thin as possible -- I got mine to about 5 1/2" across.

Grease a non-stick griddle or skillet and place over medium-high heat. Cook the tortillas for about 45 seconds per side, or until golden brown.

Serving Size: Makes 8 5" or 6" tortillas
