How To Make Keto Tortillas
- Preheat your oven to 355°F (180°C).
- Combine flaxseed meal, coconut flour, xanthan gum, and salt in a heatproof bowl.
- Add the butter to the boiling water, then pour the mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix well to form a sticky dough. Allow the dough to cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Divide the dough into six equal balls. (You can also roll out the entire dough and use an 8-inch cutter to shape the tortillas.)
- Place each ball between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to about ⅛ inch (2mm) thick.
- Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and transfer the tortilla (still on the bottom parchment sheet) to a baking sheet.
- Bake for 5 minutes, then flip and bake for another 3-5 minutes or until the tortilla is soft and pliable.
- Transfer the cooked tortillas to a wire rack to cool.
- Fill with your favorite keto-friendly ingredients and enjoy!
Tips And Variations
- For extra flavor, add 1-2 teaspoons of your favorite Mexican herbs and spices to the dough.
- If the tortillas get crispy in the oven, place another hot tortilla on top to steam out the crispiness.
- These tortillas can also be pan-fried in a dry, non-stick pan. The wraps will stick to the pan initially but easily lift off once sealed.
How To Store
You can store these tortillas in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to 3 months.

Oops, I meant I would like to make my own shiracha flavored tortillas with this recipe, how much powder shiracha spice should I use (maybe to start with)?
Hi June,
I’ve never used sriracha powder, so I’m not sure how spicy it is. If it’s anything like chili powder, I recommend starting with 1/4 teaspoon and tasting your dough before adding more.
I’d love to know how they turn out, please pop back and let us know!!
Hi!
Is there any substitute for flaxseed meal?
It’s not available in my country
Thanks
Hi Samuel,
Unfortunately, there is not. In some places, flaxseed meal is also called linseed meal, it might be worth having a look for it under that name.
Hi, can you please advise what the purpose of coconut flour is? Can I leave it out as I don’t like coconut. Thank you!
Hi Trinh,
The coconut flour is an important ingredient in this recipe and can’t be left out. There is no coconut flavor in the finished wraps.
Coconut flour doesn’t really have much, if any, flavor in a recipe. Because it absorbs so much liquid, it is a good way to strengthen the dough without it becoming too dry. I have not found any suitable substitutions for it in recipes.
Will it work ok without the xantham gum? Or do you have a suggestion for a replacement please.
Hi Kathryn,
The xanthan gum is a gluten-free “gluten” substitute, I do not recommend making the wraps without it.
Can I double the quantities of all the ingredients to make 12 wraps?
Hi Bharat,
Yes you can.
Hi just wondering if these freeze well!??
Hi Tara,
Yes, they can be frozen. Best to put some parchment paper between each wrap to make them easier to defrost 🙂
Gerri this recipe is so tasty. I rolled some thinner and baked longer to also make crispy tostadas!
hola. Buenos dias. I like burritos. How many balls of dough do you think for the ten inch tortillas? gracias
Hola Karen,
You should be able to get 4 or 5 ten inch tortillas out of the recipe.
