Soft Keto Almond Flour Tortillas (No Xanthan Gum!)

Soft, flexible keto tortillas made with superfine almond flour and psyllium husk powder — delicious hot from the pan with butter!

Easy stovetop tortillas made with psyllium husk powder — flexible, delicious, and perfect for wraps, tacos, and quesadillas.

If you’ve been missing tortillas on the Keto Diet, I’m about to make you very happy.

These keto tortillas are made with superfine almond flour, and they do NOT use xanthan gum. Instead, we’re using psyllium husk powder, which helps bind the dough and gives the tortillas a more flexible, “real tortilla” feel.

They’re easy to make, cook right in a skillet, and taste incredible fresh from the pan. Honestly, my favorite way to eat them is hot with butter — simple, comforting, and totally satisfying.

And the best part? Once you have a stack of these ready, you can use them for just about anything:

Tacos

Quesadillas

Breakfast wraps

Chicken salad wraps

Tuna salad wraps

Deli meat roll-ups

Snack wraps with veggies and dip

Let’s make them!

Soft Keto Almond Flour Tortillas Recipe (with Psyllium Husk Powder)

Ingredients (Makes 6 small tortillas or 4 medium)

1 cup superfine almond flour

1 tbsp psyllium husk powder (not whole husks)

1/2 tsp baking powder (optional for softness)

1/4 tsp sea salt (optional)

2 tbsp olive oil OR melted butter

1/2 cup hot water (very warm, not boiling)

Optional add-ins (for flavor):

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp onion powder

pinch of cumin (for tacos)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Mix the dry ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together:

superfine almond flour

psyllium husk powder

baking powder

salt

Step 2: Add oil + hot water

Add olive oil (or melted butter), then pour in the hot water.

Stir quickly with a spoon until a dough forms.

Step 3: Let the dough rest

Let the dough sit for 3–5 minutes so the psyllium can thicken and bind the dough.

The dough should feel soft and pliable — not crumbly.

If it seems dry, add 1 teaspoon water at a time.

If it’s too sticky, sprinkle in a tiny bit more almond flour.

Step 4: Divide and roll

Divide dough into 4–6 balls.

Place one ball between two sheets of parchment paper and roll into a circle using a rolling pin.

Tip: Don’t roll too thin. Almond flour tortillas do best at medium thickness.

Step 5: Cook in a hot skillet

Heat a nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat.

Cook each tortilla about:

1–2 minutes on the first side

Flip and cook 30–60 seconds on the second side

Watch closely — almond flour browns fast.

Step 6: Keep warm

Stack cooked tortillas under a clean towel to keep them soft and warm or use a tortilla cozy.

Quick Troubleshooting Notes 

Dough too dry or crumbly? Add 1 tsp hot water at a time.

Dough too sticky? Sprinkle 1 tsp of almond flour and knead.

Tortillas cracking while rolling? Let the dough rest 2 minutes longer.

How To Use Keto Almond Flour Tortillas

These tortillas are incredibly versatile and hold fillings beautifully.

Below are my favorite ways to serve them:

1) Taco Night

Fill with:

seasoned ground turkey or beef

lettuce + tomato

avocado

salsa

2) Keto Quesadillas

Add cheese + cooked chicken to one tortilla, fold, and toast in the skillet until crispy.

3) Chicken Salad Wrap

Chicken salad + chopped celery + a little mustard or keto mayo = perfect lunch wrap.

4) Tuna Salad Tortilla Wrap

Tuna salad + spinach + pickles = delicious and filling.

5) Eat Hot with Butter

This may be the most underrated keto comfort food.

Eat them fresh off the skillet with butter melting into the tortilla. It’s heavenly.

Storage Tips

Store in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container.

Reheat in a skillet for the best texture.

Freezer tip: Place parchment between tortillas, seal in a freezer bag, and freeze up to 2 months.

Keto doesn’t have to mean “giving up everything.” Recipes like this are proof.
