Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Tapioca flour
- 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 1 tablespoon Avocado oil (plus extra for cooking)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 2
Slowly add warm water to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to form a dough. Add the avocado oil, mixing until the dough comes together into a smooth, pliable consistency.
Step 3
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Place the dough balls onto a clean surface and cover with a damp kitchen towel to prevent them from drying out.
Step 4
Place one dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough into a thin, round tortilla approximately 6 inches in diameter. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Lightly oil the skillet with a small amount of avocado oil.
Step 6
Carefully peel off the parchment paper from one tortilla and transfer it to the hot skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to lift. Flip the tortilla and cook for another 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.
Step 7
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining tortillas, adding a small amount of oil to the skillet as needed.
Step 8
Allow the tortillas to cool slightly before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat gently in a skillet before serving.
