Ingredients
Egg white
1/4 cup (Whisked until slightly frothy)
Coconut milk or Water
2 tablespoons (Optional for added flavor)
Coconut flour
1 tablespoon (Sifted)
Salt
1/16 teaspoon (Fine)
Butter or Coconut oil
1 teaspoon (Melted, for frying)
Instructions
1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, pour in the egg whites and add the water or coconut milk. Whisk gently to combine until the mixture is slightly frothy.
2
Sift the coconut flour and salt into the egg white mixture. Stir well until a smooth batter forms and no lumps remain.
3
Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat, and add 1 teaspoon of butter or coconut oil to grease the pan evenly.
4
Once the pan is hot, pour 2-3 tablespoons of the batter onto the center of the pan. Quickly tilt and swirl the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter into a larger, thin circle.
5
Cook the tortilla for 1-2 minutes on the first side, or until the edges begin to lift and you can easily slide a spatula underneath. Carefully flip the tortilla and cook for an additional 1 minute on the other side.
6
Remove the tortilla from the pan and place it on a plate. Continue this process with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
7
Serve warm, filled with your favorite ingredients!
