Servings: 8-12
Preparation Time: 30 minutes

In a medium bowl, mix flour and salt. Using a pastry blender or fork, cut in the solid coconut oil until it appears like tiny peas, just as if you are making a pie crust.

Next, add the apple cider vinegar and 1/2 cup of the warm water. Using a pastry blender or fork, mix well until a ball forms.

Slowly add remaining water until you get a kneadable ball of dough. Knead the ball in the bowl for about 2 minutes.

Depending on the size you want your tortillas, divide the dough into equally sized balls: 8, 10, or 12 for large, medium, or small respectively.

Preheat your griddle on medium-high.

On a lightly floured surface roll each ball as thin as you can. Lay the tortilla on the ungreased, preheated pan. As soon as you see puffing bubbles, flip your tortilla. Depending on how hot your pan is, this should take 30 to 40 seconds on each side.

*Grind your own fresh flour using Heirloom Turkey Hard Red Winter Wheat Whole Berries and our KoMo Classic Grain Mill.

Servings: 1 tortilla
Preparation Time: 2 minutes

Mix the coconut flour and baking powder with the water (or milk) and egg whites. Whisk or blend until all lumps disappear (I usually mix, then wait a couple of minutes and mix again).

Pour all the batter on a heated pan greased with coconut oil or butter (grease well). Pour batter in center of pan. Tilt the pan around to spread the batter into a large circle, almost covering the entire bottom of the pan.

Be very careful with this part: wait until the edges are brown on the side of the tortilla, or carefully circle spatula around the bottom of tortilla until safe to flip. Once safe, flip the tortilla and cook for about 30 seconds on the other side.

Fill with cream, berries, enchilada filling – anything you like!

These are thin and delicate. Use them for low-carb enchiladas, sandwich wraps, or anything you can think of!

* For the freshest coconut milk make homemade coconut milk. (See video at this link.)
