Candice’s Low Carb Tortilla’s

So don't look at me all crazy.. but here is a low carb version on a corn tortilla using peanut and coconut flour. Again, don't look at me crazy.. they are pretty darn good if I say so myself!
For me the nutty flavor of the peanut flour works good to create a low carb 'corn' tortilla. The texture and flavor are pretty good. I ate a few fried up like chips and let me just say YUM!

Hope you enjoy!

Makes 16 tortilla’s

Ingredients:

1 cup peanut flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 Tablespoon butter
3/4 cup cold water

8 tortilla’s (1/2 recipe)

1/2 cup peanut flour
2 Tablespoons coconut flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons cold water

Instructions:

In a large bowl combine coconut flour, peanut flour, salt and baking powder Mix in the butter with your fingers until a fine meal texture. Add the water and mix with your hands until the dough comes together. Knead a bit in your hands until smooth Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces(8 for 1/2 recipe) and roll each piece into a ball.

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Lay one piece of parchment paper onto your counter. Place 1 ball of dough on top then lay 1 piece of parchment paper on top. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough ball into a thin, round tortilla.

Place into the hot skillet, and cook until bubbly. Flip and continue cooking until browned. About 40 seconds on each side. Place the cooked tortilla in a tortilla warmer(or a plate with something covering it). Continue rolling and cooking the remaining dough.

Tortilla's will soften up as they sit wrapped.
