Ingredients
You’ll need just two main ingredients for this recipe. That’s the beauty of it!
- 1 cup cottage cheese (regular or low-fat)
- 1 cup almond flour (or oat flour for a non-keto version)
Optional:
- Pinch of salt
- Herbs and spices like garlic powder, cumin, or paprika for extra flavor
Step-by-Step Directions
1. Prep the Dough
- Place the cottage cheese and almond flour into a blender or food processor.
- Blend until you get a smooth, pliable dough. If it’s sticky, add a tiny bit more almond flour.
2. Shape the Tortillas
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
- Roll each portion between two sheets of parchment paper. This prevents sticking and ensures you get thin, even circles.
3. Cook the Tortillas
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Cook each tortilla for 1–2 minutes per side until lightly golden and flexible.
- Be careful not to overcook, as they can become crispy instead of pliable.
4. Serve
- Use immediately for tacos, wraps, or quesadillas.
- Keep them wrapped in a clean towel to stay soft while serving.
