Zero-Carb Carnivore Tortillas Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (whole milk, unsweetened)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter (or animal fat like beef tallow or pork lard)
- 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1/4 tsp onion powder (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Pan:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium-low heat. You can lightly grease it with a bit of butter or animal fat.
-
Prepare the Dough:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the mozzarella cheese in the microwave. Heat for about 30-45 seconds, then stir until smooth and melted. (Alternatively, you can melt the cheese in a saucepan over low heat.)
- Once the cheese is melted, let it cool slightly.
- Add the egg, melted butter (or animal fat), salt, and optional seasonings (garlic and onion powder). Stir well until everything is combined and the mixture is smooth.
-
Form the Tortillas:
- Place a piece of parchment paper or a silicone baking mat on your counter or workspace.
- Divide the mixture into 4-6 portions (depending on the size you want your tortillas).
- Use your hands or a rolling pin to flatten each portion into a round, thin tortilla shape. You can also place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out.
-
Cook the Tortillas:
- Place the flattened dough in the heated skillet.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until it starts to turn golden brown and you see some bubbles forming.
- Flip the tortilla and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
- Repeat with the rest of the dough portions, adding more butter or fat to the pan as needed.
-
Serve:
- Once all your tortillas are cooked, remove them from the pan and let them cool slightly.
- Use them as a base for meats, wraps, or as a side to any carnivore meal.
Tips:
- Adjust the thickness: If you want thinner tortillas, roll them out as thin as possible, but if you prefer thicker ones, make them a little thicker. The dough is quite flexible!
- Storage: These tortillas can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days. Just wrap them in parchment paper or place them in an airtight container.
- Reheat: You can reheat them in a skillet or in the microwave, but be careful not to overcook them when reheating, as they can get too crisp.
Enjoy!
