What are Coconut Flour Tortillas?

Coconut flour tortillas are just like regular flour or corn tortillas except they are made with coconut flour. 

If you are familiar with eating low carb, then I’m sure you are familiar with coconut flour. Coconut flour is a great paleo baking ingredient, a good source of dietary fiber, protein, and healthy fats. 

Our coconut flour tortillas are tender and fluffy, and super flexible. You can roll them, fold them, and even quarter them when hot or cold. Honestly, you can’t really even taste any coconut flavor, all you taste are the spices you add. 

Oh, and did I mention they are: 

• Keto
• Gluten-Free 
• Sugar-Free 
• Vegan 
• Vegetarian 
• Nut-Free 
• Dairy-Free 
• Egg-Free
• Candida 
• Paleo 
• Whole30 

So pretty much you can enjoy these delicious coconut flour tortillas while on any diet or with any dietary restrictions.

Are Coconut Tortillas Low Carb?

Yes coconut tortillas are low carb and perfect for those who are diabetic or those on keto. 

Most corn tortillas that you find in the grocery store or at a restaurant are not going to be keto-friendly. But that’s why we worked so hard to get the right coconut tortilla recipe for you. 

I’ll show you the difference between the best low carb tortillas that are homemade and store-bought ones.

What Ingredients are in Coconut Flour Wraps?

• Coconut Flour – These keto coconut flour tortillas are made entirely with coconut flour giving them a great taste and texture. Remember that coconut flour can not be replaced with any other flour with the same ratio.
• Psyllium Husk Powder – This acts as the binding agent and gives elasticity to your coconut flour tortillas. Don’t skip this ingredient.
• Water – 1 cup of lukewarm water. Warm water will activate the psyllium husk fiber, don’t use cold water. The dough won’t form correctly.
• Baking Powder – ½ tsp fresh baking powder.
• Olive Oil – Extra virgin olive oil (the green one)
• Spices – I used a combination of salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin. Feel free to leave any of them out, but I think they really contribute to the overall taste and flavor.

Different Variations

I recommend sticking pretty close to the recipe because we found the perfect consistency to these tortillas. 

However, if you want to change anything about the recipe then you can either add or leave out some of the spices. I chose to use cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. 

Other spices you could try adding are black pepper, Italian seasoning, paprika, or even some chili powder.

Coconut Flour vs. Almond Flour

This exact recipe uses just coconut flour, and the texture is great. But if you would like to use almond flour instead, then please try our Almond Flour Tortilla Recipe. 

I find that the coconut flour tortillas are actually more pliable and hold up better than the almond flour ones which are great for folding into wraps, fajitas, or quesadillas.

How to Make Paleo Coconut Flour Tortillas 

Let’s go over the step by step instructions on how to make delicious coconut flour tortillas. 

STEP 1: Gather all your ingredients.

STEP 2: In a large mixing bowl, sift the coconut flour making sure to get all the lumps out. Now add the psyllium husk powder and sift into the same bowl.

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

STEP 3: Add the spices and baking powder, and stir together.

• 

• 

• 

STEP 4: Pour in the olive oil and the lukewarm water. Stir again making sure the ingredients are well combined.

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

STEP 5: Form the dough into a ball, and let sit for 10-15 minutes. This step in necessary in order to let the coconut flour and psyllium husk powder absorb the liquid.

STEP 6: After the dough has rested, cut it into 4 equal sized pieces. Roll each piece into a small round ball and set them aside.

• 

• 

STEP 7: Lay a piece of parchment paper on the counter and place one of the balls in the middle and cover it with another piece of parchment paper. Press the ball down with the palm of your hand.

Use a rolling pin to finish rolling out the dough. You want it to be at least 6-inches in diameter, I try to make mine a little bigger than 6 inches.

• 

• 

STEP 8: Carefully peel back the top piece of parchment paper. Press the 6-inch cutter, or lid directly into the center of the dough.

• 

• 

• 

STEP 9: Very gently pick up the tortilla and move it to another piece of parchment paper while you make the others. Repeat these steps with the other tortillas. 

Take the excess dough and put it aside, be sure to save it because you will need it for the last 2.

STEP 10: At this point you should have 4 tortillas. Gather all excess dough, roll into a ball and make the 5th and 6th keto tortillas. 

STEP 11: Heat a non-stick pan on the stove to medium-high heat. Add just a small amount of avocado oil to the pan.

• 

• 

STEP 12: Once the pan is hot, add the coconut tortilla to the pan. Cook the tortilla for about 1-2 minutes until it starts to brown.

• 

• 

It may start to puff up, don’t worry it will go back down again. Gently flip it over and cook for another minute or two.

• 

• 

STEP 13: Transfer to a cooling rack or plate.

• 

• 

Repeat until all the low carb tortillas are cooked.

FAQs and Best Tips

• Be sure to use lukewarm water, it will activate the psyllium husk powder correctly. 
• Roll out each dough ball 6-7 inches. 
• To make the round shape, use either a large round cookie cutter, lid, or even a large bowl. 
• To roll the dough out, use a rolling pin, wine bottle or large drinking glass. 
• Prepare all the tortillas first, then cook them. 
• It’s ok if they puff up while cooking, they will deflate again. 
• Let them cool on a wire cooling rack if possible.

Do These Wraps Taste Like Coconut?

No, they don’t! I use a combination of garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and salt. The spices give the low carb tortillas great flavor, so you don’t taste coconut at all.

My Tortillas are Too Thick

That’s ok, all you need to do is just roll them a little thinner. I like mine on the thinner side, but it’s ok if they are a bit thicker. They will taste the same!

Why Did My Tortillas Turn Purple?

Don’t worry, it’s ok if it turns purple there’s nothing wrong with them. Some brands of psyllium husk powder can turn baked goods purple. Other than the color, the taste and texture won’t change.

Do I Need a Tortilla Press?

Some people will say you can use a tortilla press, but honestly, I’ve never had an easy time using a tortilla press. I found that they never made the tortilla large enough. 

In my opinion, there is no need to go and spend money on a tortilla press.

Do I Need a Rolling Pin?

I recommend using a rolling pin, it’s just going to make it so much easier to get the right thickness and shape. 

Now if you do not own a rolling pin, a few other options you can use would be a bottle of wine or even a large drinking glass.
