New Year, Better Habits!
In the new year, one of our resolutions is to embrace meal planning and make a bunch of recipes once a week to quickly prepare/heat up throughout the rest of the week.
In fact, we usually make our Coconut Flour Tortillas recipe on Sunday and use them all week long. The filling of these tortillas can be whatever your heart desires but in the interest of keeping things simple for breakfast, we opted to bring you a no-fuss recipe you can enjoy every day of the week! Eggs get a lot of flack for being bland but they’re an incredibly versatile breakfast option, in our opinion.
But when you’ve just had enough of them, you can bet there are tons of low carb breakfast options sans-eggs. Of course, in our Cream Cheese & Chive Fold-Overs recipe, we use egg whites, but there isn’t so much as a hint of eggs in the final product.
In our Low Carb Weekly Meal Plans, we strive to provide practical recipes you can actually use! We account for leftovers… in fact, we encourage them. We understand not everyone is a food blogger and makes something different every single day. Life is too fast-paced to be learning a new recipe every day. Our meal plans are chock full of new recipes, classic ones, and ones that provide lots of yummy leftovers to save you time!

HI, just want to clarify, 4 tortillas is one serving, or is 1 tortilla 1 serving? Thanks!!
4 stuffed tortillas is one serving 🙂
I’m confused. At the top of the page it says: RECIPE MAKES 4 TORTILLAS, WHICH IS 1 SERVING. But then above the
recipe, it says: Coconut Flour Tortillas (Makes 6 tortillas total). So would each tortilla have 2 carbs or would each have 1.33?
Hate to be so nitty, but would like to know. Thanks!
The two sections make different amounts of food The tortilla section makes 6 tortillas but you only use 6 of them in the following section.
I use these as tortillas for my chicken verde enchiladas. I use liquid egg whites bc I found I needed to add more to get the consistency right. 3/4 c works well or to the consistency of runny cream of wheat. Spray w oil between each tortilla and cook 3 min turn 1 min. Let cool before trying to roll them into enchiladas. Worked well. Glad they held up well. They don’t taste like much so good sub for flour torts. Thx!
Tastes great consistency could be alot firmer to “hold” anything. Can you add some physillium to bind? Also would almond flour work if you don’t want the sweet coconut flavor?
Almond flour and coconut flour aren’t good substitutes for each other, unfortunately. I would try psyllium husk and see if that helps! Ours turned out quite well without it though, so we decided to omit.
I’ve discovered I’m not a fan of coconut flour. Can I substitute almond flour in any of these recipes and still get the same results?
No, coconut flour and almond flour are very different. I wouldn’t use them as equal substitutes.
I’m making these right now however I was only able to get 6 tortillas out of the whole tortilla batch… My tortillas are only about 4-5 inches in diameter. I used a 1/4 measuring cup to pour my batter into the skillet. Did I do something wrong?
You did everything right! That was our mistake. The recipe originally made 12 tortillas but we decided to halve it to better suit this particular breakfast foldover recipe. We’ll update the recipe to say that it does indeed make 6 tortillas, and not 12. Thanks for the heads up, Kathy. We really appreciate it! 🙂
Do we need to use baking soda???
No, we used baking powder in this recipe and we recommend you use it too.
These were delicious! However it did take 3 or 4 tries to figure out the best timing to flip them. I found that turning the heat up to medium low and using a little less than 1/4 was the best for me. Also 1 tsp of oil kind of kind them wet so I used 1/2 tsp of oil in th skillet. But overall these were delicious and pretty simple for th taste!
Thanks for the helpful tips, Brittney 😀
I love these simply because they’re different. I find that I often fall into patterns with food, having the same meals time and time again. I’m always looking for new ideas and these fold overs do fit the bill nicely.
