Low-Carb Corn Tortillas
1 T. Yellow cornmeal
3/4 tsp. Baking powder
3 T. + 1 tsp. Coconut flour
1 T. Golden Flax meal
3 T. Almond flour
3 T. Light olive oil
3 beaten eggs (medium or large)
½ c. + 1 T. Water
2 tsp. Fresh Corn flavoring (or 1 T. Corn bran, or simply omit) I omitted, did not have
8 tsp. Light olive oil (for frying the tortillas) My non stick pan did not require oil
DIRECTIONS: Whisk the eggs, water, corn flavoring and 3 T. Olive oil well in a mixing bowl. Measure and add in all the dry ingredients. Whisk well too a smooth batter. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 tsp. Oil and spread it around in the center of the skillet with your spatula.
Using a 1/4 c. Measuring cup, scoop up 3 T. Batter (about 3/4 of the cup), and holding the skillet in your left hand, ready to tilt, pour the 3 T batter quickly into the skillet in a circle with your right hand. Tilt the skillet to allow the batter to roll into a nice 4-5" circle. Brown the tortilla on 1 side for about 2 minutes, flip and brown the second side. I slid my tortilla around on the skillet surface so the oil would continue to keep it from sticking as it cooked. With a spatula, remove the cooked tortilla to awaiting paper toweling to drain and cool so it can be handled for whatever application you are using them for. Repeat this process, adding 1 tsp. Oil to the skillet before forming each of the tortillas.

These turned out like pancakes. Good flavor. Omit the corn meal & you have a pancake.
I accidentally used ground pork rinds in stead of flax meal, then I located & added flax meal. They tasted good but next time I'm going to make an Enchilada Pie with this mix. Saw recipe on corn meal box that I convert to low carb.

You are welcome. :D

Did any of you try this? If so, did you try any changes? I am going to make these for Doug's enchilada recipe. Will make the dough so I can roll it thin. Any suggestions on this?

i havent tried them yet Susie been to busy ;)

Hi, Susie! :)
Tried your recipe as is.
But I didn't have fresh corn flavoring or corn bran.
They would have tasted more "corny" with one of those.
Otherwise, quite good! :) :) :)

hmm my macadamia meal tastes a bit corny to me, will try that. I'll have to wait until I get more cornmeal. My chickens ran out of feed & we gave them all the rest of the cornmeal. We got 150 small avocados from a food bank. I am not fond of the way they taste. Decided that each of my chickens will get 1 avocado a day until they run out. When they all get too soft, will blend them with a bit of lime juice and freeze daily portions for the chickens.

Recipe used only 1 tbsp, making each tortilla using 1/4 of a tbsp to be 2.43 g NET CARBS. I would like to get the sample pack on that website but will need to wait due to finances. Thanks for the link Tony.
