Almond Flour Tortillas

Almond Flour Tortillas Recipe

Growing up in a Hispanic home, homemade tortillas were an absolute staple. NEVER store-bought! My grandma (abuelita) would make them almost every single day. And I just have to say – there’s nothing like a fresh, homemade tortilla!

Whether you’re making tacos, quesadillas, or just want them on the side of a delicious, healthy dinner recipe, one thing is for sure: you’re going to LOVE this easy Almond Flour Tortillas recipe! They have the perfect soft, chewy texture. They also reheat well, so you can make a big batch and store them for the week ahead, too!

5 Simple Ingredients

• Almond Flour – finely ground is best.
• Tapioca Starch – Also known as tapioca flour. Cornstarch works great, too!
• Psyllium Husk Powder – see the next section for substitution options!
• Baking Powder
• Salt
• Water

Substitute for Psyllium Husk Powder?

Psyllium husk powder has unique binding properties that are essential for getting the texture of these tortillas just right. However, ground flaxseeds mixed with water can be a great alternative! Swap one tablespoon of ground flaxseeds with two tablespoons of water to replace one tablespoon of psyllium husk powder. While the results might not be identical, they’ll still be delicious and a great substitution option!

The Best Almond Flour for Tortillas

Blanched, finely ground almond flour is the best type of flour for almond flour tortillas! This gives them a smooth texture and a neutral taste, mimicking the feel of traditional flour tortillas more closely than almond meal, which tends to be coarser and can make your tortillas grainy. Here are a few of my top choices for almond flour when making homemade tortillas:

• Bob’s Red Mill Super-Fine Almond Flour
• Anthony’s Blanched Almond Flour

How to Make Almond Flour Tortillas

1. Mix the Ingredients

Begin by combining your dry ingredients — almond flour, tapioca starch, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt — in a large mixing bowl. Slowly add water and stir until the mixture forms a dough. The dough should be pliable but not sticky; adjust with a bit more almond flour or water if necessary!

2. Roll Out or Press the Dough

Divide the dough into equal-sized balls (about 5-6) based on the size of tortillas you prefer. Place each one between two pieces of parchment paper to prevent sticking. Using a rolling pin, gently roll out the dough into a thin circle (about 1/4″ thick).

3. Cook the Tortillas

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully peel off the parchment paper and place the tortilla in the skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until the tortilla starts to brown and bubble up. Flip carefully and cook the other side. The tortillas should be flexible with a slight crispness on the edges!

Do I Need a Tortilla Press?

While a tortilla press can certainly make the process of flattening your almond flour tortillas quicker and more uniform, it isn’t a must-have. If you don’t have one, no worries! You can still achieve perfectly thin and even tortillas using a rolling pin and parchment paper.

The key is to keep checking the thickness and evenness as you roll. Plus, using a rolling pin gives you that extra touch of handcrafted charm — just like my Abuelita used to do! Whether you opt for a press or a rolling pin, you’ll end up with delicious, homemade almond flour tortillas that are sure to impress.

Refrigerating/Freezing/Making Ahead

One of the best things about these almond flour tortillas is their versatility and how wonderfully they store! I love making a big batch of these at once and then keeping them on hand for whenever I need them.

To refrigerate, layer the cooled tortillas between pieces of parchment paper and place them in a sealable bag. Keep them in the fridge for up to a week! To freeze them, store the tortillas the same way in the freezer for up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply reheat them in a dry skillet over medium heat until they’re warm and flexible!
