Servings & Timing

Serves: 4 tortillas
Prep Time: 3 minutes
Cook Time: 6–8 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients List

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (low-moisture, part-skim)
1 large egg
⅓ cup almond flour

Optional (for better flavor):

Pinch of salt
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp baking powder (extra fluffiness)

Instructions

1. Melt the Cheese

Add mozzarella to a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave 30–45 seconds until melted and stretchy.

2. Add Egg & Almond Flour

Add the egg and almond flour immediately.
Mix well until a soft, dough-like consistency forms.
If sticky, dust hands lightly with almond flour.

3. Form Tortillas

Divide the dough into 4 balls.
Place each ball between parchment paper and roll thin into a tortilla shape.
Keep them as thin as possible for the best texture.

4. Cook

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook each tortilla 30–45 seconds per side, until lightly golden spots form.
Don’t overcook—they should stay soft and flexible.

5. Serve
