Keto-Friendly Sesame Tortillas are fully keto friendly low carb tortillas with a delicious smell of sesame seeds. Just 3.5g net carbs each!
Sesame flour is a great option for those on a ketogenic diet. It is low in carbohydrates and high in healthy fats. Sesame flour is made from ground sesame seeds and has a nutty taste.
If you are tired of almond flour or coconut flour recipes on the ketogenic diet, I strongly recommend sesame flour. If you’ve started looking for other alternatives for a ketogenic flour, sesame flour is both an economical and delicious alternative. It makes a good alternative to almond flour and coconut flour.
Making sesame flour is really easy. You can easily make it at home. Just like we make almond flour in the recipe “How to make almond flour?” you can also make your sesame flour in 5 minutes. You just need to pay attention to the same details.
Sesame flour is quite an economical alternative compared to other ketogenic flours. You can also use white, yellow or black sesame seeds. There will be no big change in the taste. If you use white sesame seeds, your keto flour will look more like white flour.
Honestly, at first I didn’t think sesame flour could taste so good. This recipe surprised me too. I recommend you to try it. Keto-friendly tortillas with sesame flour offers a delicious and nutritious alternative for those who follow a low-carb and high-fat diet.
I recommend you to try the Keto Tahini Bread recipe, as well.
Egg-Free Keto-Friendly Tortillas
Keto-friendly tortillas is an egg-free recipe and suitable for those who are sensitive to eggs. You might seek out an egg-free tortillas recipe for various reasons, including allergies, dietary restrictions (such as veganism), or simply a desire to reduce cholesterol intake or animal product consumption.
Creating an egg-free version of keto tortillas is a bit difficult. Because eggs often play a crucial role in providing structure and moisture to baked goods. Since we do not use gluten as a dough binder and elasticizer, we generally use eggs to do the same job in keto tortillas recipes. However, you can try the egg-free alternative below by using xanthan gum instead.

Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side then flip. When the other side is turned, count 5 seconds and remove them from the pan. If it is cooked thoroughly on both sides, it will become hard as a stone and it will be impossible to put any ingredients in it. That’s why cooking with the right technique is very important for this type of bread.
