Almond Flour Tortillas (Siete Copycat)

Make almond flour tortillas at home, perfect for gluten-free, keto, or low-carb diets. Stop spending over $1 per Siete tortilla and make your own!

My husband and I believe that food plays a huge role in your health, which is why we did the Whole30 as a family. If it weren’t for that, we wouldn’t have known that our daughter has a gluten sensitivity!

We’ve been working on my husband’s health, incorporating more healthy fats and fewer grains (similar to keto and low-carb ways of eating) and he’s seen amazing results.

But this is also a man who LOVES tacos. I know I can make Slow Cooker Carnitas and a double batch of Cilantro Lime Coleslaw and as long as he has Salsa Verde on hand, the man will be content for DAYS.

As silly as it sounds, the lack of tacos was a huge concern for him, which is why I set out to create a grain-free almond flour tortillas recipe that he would love and enjoy just as much!

EASY ALMOND FLOUR TORTILLAS

Making homemade tortillas may sound daunting, but it’s quite easy. Homemade Flour Tortillas are my favorite, but Homemade Corn Tortillas are a close second place. And now we can add this yummy almond flour tortilla recipe to the list!

• Made with simple ingredients. Making your own grain-free tortillas lets you avoid the additives and junky stuff in store-bought.
• Lower cost. We’ve tried Siete Foods almond flour tortillas and almond flour wraps, but considering they cost over $1 per tortilla, we much prefer this grain free almond flour tortilla recipe instead!
• Perfect for special diets. Whether you’re gluten-free, dairy-free, eating paleo or keto, or just looking for low-carb tortillas, these are a great option.
• Really yummy! We all agreed that these almond tortillas made delicious taco shells!

ALMOND FLOUR TORTILLA RECIPE INGREDIENTS

You can make this easy almond flour tortilla recipe with as little as 5 ingredients:

Note: Two optional but highly recommended ingredients are coconut flour and psyllium husk.

Both improve the texture by providing stretchiness and elasticity to the tortilla (similar to what gluten does for bread). Making almond flour tortillas without whole psyllium husk or coconut flour is doable – they’ll just be less bendy, and you’ll want to undercook them slightly.

HOW TO MAKE ALMOND FLOUR TORTILLAS RECIPE

Step 1: Combine the dry ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Step 2: Add the wet ingredients and, using your hands, mix into a cohesive dough.

Step 3: Preheat the griddle to 400F. You can also use a non-stick pan or seasoned cast iron skillet over medium heat.

Step 4: Break off a small piece of dough and using a rolling pin, roll out the dough ball between two silpat mats into a circle. You can do this with a piece of parchment paper as well, but I’ve found that silpat mats make the process significantly easier.

Note: The circle should be similar to a thick flour tortilla.

Step 5: Pick up the silpat mat with the tortilla on it. Turn the silpat mat upside down so that the tortilla is on the griddle, wait 5 seconds, and then CAREFULLY peel back the silpat mat. This works best if you keep the silpat mat as close to the griddle as possible and use a pancake flipper to CAREFULLY hold the tortilla onto the griddle.

Step 6: Let the tortilla cook for about 30-45 seconds. Flip the tortilla and let it cook again for another 30-45 seconds. Remove the tortilla from the griddle when it’s done and repeat the process for the rest of the dough.

Store leftover almond flour tortillas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. Let them come to room temperature before filling them with your favorite toppings – they’ll be more pliable and bendy without cracking or breaking that way.

If you’re going to freeze tortillas, I suggest putting a piece of wax paper or parchment paper in between every 2-3 tortillas before placing them in a resealable bag so that they don’t all freeze in one big lump. That way it’s easy to remove just what you need from the freezer to thaw.

TIPS FOR MAKING KETO WRAPS WITH ALMOND FLOUR

• Use psyllium husk powder to make these keto wraps if possible. You can find it online here, or at a local grocery store in the supplement section. (It’s a digestive aid food and be sure NOT to get the flavored kind.)
• I can’t stress enough how silpat mats make this recipe super easy. I bought a 4-pack YEARS ago and use them every week for cookies and bread, as well as several other recipes.
• These almond flour tortillas will be thicker than you may be used to. If you try to roll the dough too thin, the dough will break before you’ve had a chance to cook it.
• The type of almond flour you use should not matter. Most stores have blanched almond flour, almond meal, or ground almond flour. I use them interchangeably without any issues.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH ALMOND FLOUR TORTILLAS

• Use these tortillas as almond flour wraps (like for these Chicken Caesar Wraps)
• Enjoy them for tacos (try Black Bean and Corn Salsa Tacos)
• Make quesadillas or burritos
• Use them as a base for a tortilla pizza with your favorite pizza toppings
• Anything that calls for a tortilla!
• The only exception would be Enchiladas. These almond flour tortillas won’t be big enough to hold enchilada filling, but you could do a layered Enchilada Casserole instead!
