Worked out from the ingredients, not measured.

Ingredients

  • Dry: 1 tbsp coconut flour
  • Dry: 1 tbsp flaxseed meal
  • Dry: 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • Dry: 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • Dry: 1/4 tsp xanthan gum (binder)
  • Dry: Salt
  • Wet: 1/4 cup warm water
  • Wet: 1 tsp apple cider or lemon juice
  • Wet: 1 tsp oil

Method

  1. Heat a non stick fry pan, no oil.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients.
  3. Add the apple cider to the warm water.
  4. Add the water to the dry mix and watch it fizz, then mix.
  5. Slowly add the oil to the dough whilst mixing into a round ball.
  6. Divide into two (approx 50g each) and place one ball between parchment paper.
  7. Roll the dough quite thin. It will be difficult to pick up, so transfer it to the frypan by picking up the parchment paper and flipping the tortilla onto the pan, then remove the paper.
  8. Cook for 1-2 minutes each side and remove from the pan.
  9. Fill with protein rich food to meet your macros.
