Ingredients
  

Dough Base

  • 2 cups blanched almond flour super-fine texture, not almond meal
  • 2 tbsp xanthan gum
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Moisture

  • 1/2 cup warm water add more as needed for dough consistency

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together almond flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  • Slowly add warm water to the dry mix while stirring until a dough forms. Add more water if the mixture is too dry.
  • Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth and pliable. Add a bit of almond flour if it feels too sticky.
  • Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes to allow the xanthan gum to activate.
  • Preheat a dry skillet or comal over medium heat while shaping the tortillas.
  • Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each into a ball, then flatten slightly with your hands.
  • Press each dough ball between parchment sheets using a tortilla press or roll them into thin circles with a rolling pin.
  • Cook each tortilla for about 30 seconds per side on the hot skillet, or until light brown spots form. Flip once more if needed, but don’t overcook.
  • Transfer cooked tortillas to a plate and cover with a clean towel to keep warm and soft.
  • Serve immediately or let them cool completely before storing in the fridge or freezer.

Notes

For best texture, use blanched, super-fine almond flour. Avoid overcooking to keep tortillas soft. Store in the fridge for up to one week or freeze with parchment between each tortilla. Reheat gently and cover to trap steam and restore flexibility.
