This is a recipe I found on Civilized Caveman Cooking Creations Facebook page. It makes eating tacos a bit more exciting than just eating a taco salad…My “tortillas” don’t look nearly as delicate or round as his do, but they still taste good! My tortillas are maybe a bit thin, as they don’t hold up too well when you try to pick it up and eat it like a tostada. It usually ends up being crunched up like chips and eaten with a fork! Either way, it tastes good and we think it adds a nice touch to “tacos”. You can find the original recipe here. Thanks Civilized Caveman for a great recipe!
Tacos with “Paleo Tortillas”
Ingredients:
2 cups almond flour (I use Bob’s Red Mill)
2 large eggs
1 tsp. oil
1/2 tsp. salt
taco toppings of choice (ground beef seasoned with taco seasoning, lettuce, tomatoes, taco sauce or salsa, avocado, olives, onions, etc.)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine flour, eggs, oil and salt in a bowl and mix until well blended.
3. Roll out balls of dough between two pieces of parchment paper to desired thickness (1/8″ thick or so). Remove top layer of parchment paper and place bottom layer with dough onto a baking sheet. (I put 3 tortillas on a sheet at a time.)
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 6-10 minutes or until desired “crispness” is achieved.
5. Enjoy!

Hi–what kind of almond flour did you use? I use Bob’s Red Mill…and I’ve always been able to form the dough into balls. Other than the type of flour, I’m not sure what could have gone wrong!

I just found your site and I love it! I am so going to try this recipe, I am always looking for gluten wrap recipes! I’ve made them using buckwheat but I would love to try almond flour for the nutty flavor!

Hi Heather–
Just so you know, they aren’t soft…well, maybe if you don’t cook them as long they would be, but they were crunchy for us…more like a tostada. Just a heads up! I hope you enjoy them!
