Ingredients for the Tortillas
The exact amounts of each ingredient are indicated in the recipe card at the end of the post
Amazing taste and texture. Great nutrition. Suitable for almost everyone. And now this: they are made with 2 ingredients.
You read correctly, to make these tortillas you need only 2 ingredients: coconut flour and whole psyllium husks. You will add some regular tap water, too. Add some salt if you like, but it is entirely optional/adjustable.
Any Substitutions for Coconut Flour or Psyllium Husk?
I love to provide substitutions whenever possible, but this recipe must be made with coconut flour. No other flour will work for this particular recipe. If you cannot eat coconut, check out the end of this post where I’ve listed a variety of other simple, grain-free & vegan tortillas you can make.
Psyllium husk cannot be swapped out either. Psyllium provides the structure and puff to these tortillas (yes, they puff!), much like eggs; other egg-free options, such as flaxseed meal or chia seeds, simply will not work in its place.
UPDATE 1: Although you cannot sub chia seeds directly into this recipe, I have come up with a new, equally easy recipe for 2 Ingredient Chia Coconut Flour Tortillas (no psyllium)!
UPDATE 2: I previously suggested that psyllium powder might work as a substitute for the whole psyllium husks. However, numerous readers have reported problems with the psyllium powder. I never use psyllium powder, so for best results, stick with whole psyllium husks.
UPDATE
How to Make Egg-Free Coconut Flour Tortillas
Enough talking, let’s start making!
First, whisk the coconut flour, psyllium husks, and (optional) salt in a small mixing bowl. Coconut flour can clump a bit, so a quick whisk breaks up the lumps and bumps.
Next, add the water, stirring until completely blended. The mixture will look loose, but only for about 15 seconds. Soon afterwards, both the coconut flour and psyllium begin absorbing the water. Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes and, voila, you have tortilla dough.

How to Shape the Tortilla Dough
Shape the moist, springy dough into a smooth ball. Working with this dough is a breeze because it is very forgiving. Do not worry about making mistakes, it is almost impossible to do so.
Place the dough ball onto a cutting board and cut into 4 equal pieces, like so:

Roll each piece into a ball. It is very easy to manipulate the dough, so this step is quick and easy.
Next, place one of the balls between two sheets of parchment paper or wax paper. Plastic wrap will also work, if that’s what you have on hand.
Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a circle that measures 7-inches (17.5 cm) across. It does not need to be perfect! Do not fret if the “circle” looks more like an amoeba. Simply pinch off pieces of dough from one place and press them into another, as needed. Or keep the amoeba shapes, they will still be delicious.
What if I Do Not Have a Rolling Pin?
If you have a tortilla press, yes, use it! It will work perfectly to press these evenly and efficiently. Use the wax paper or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
A wine bottle or can will work in place of a rolling pin, too. The simplest option? Your fingers. Press out the dough into a rough circle (do still place the dough between sheets of paper). So long as the tortilla is relatively thin, in same way shape or form, you are going to have great tortillas.

Tips for Removing the Paper from the Tortillas
Once the tortilla is rolled out, carefully peel off the top layer of paper. If a few pieces of dough stick to the paper, simply repress them into the tortilla.
The dough becomes stickier as it gets warmer, so if the paper is really sticking, place the tortilla (in its paper) in the freezer for 3 or 4 minutes (not much longer). The tortilla will come off with ease!
How to Cook Coconut Flour Tortillas
Spritz a medium or large skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Place the skillet over medium-high heat and heat until it is hot. Place the tortilla, dough side down, into the hot skillet and peel off the remaining piece of paper.
Cook the tortilla for 2 to 3 minutes until it begins to puff. Slide a spatula underneath and lift it slightly; once it has many browned spots, flip it over. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes longer until the other side is browned and the tortilla is puffy throughout.

Transfer the tortilla to a cooling rack to cool and repeat with the remaining pieces of dough.
Hooray, tortillas!!!

Use as you Would Any Tortilla or Flatbread
The texture of these coconut flour tortillas is like the very best fluffy, white flour tortillas. They work perfectly for enchiladas, tacos, burritos, quesadillas, or for scooping up beans, salsa, guacamole, and vegetables.
The slightly thicker, fluffy quality of these tortillas is akin to naan and other Middle Eastern flatbreads. Use them as an accompaniment for curries, spicy stews, soups and tagines.
But don’t stop there! Use the tortillas for sandwiches, wraps, desserts (as a sub for crepes), and so much more. I love them plain, too, warm or cold.
And I mean it when I say thet the tortillas are flexible (no tearing!). For example, fold them in half:

Roll them up:

Or fold into quarters:

I am 100% certain that you (and your friends, family, kids, and any lucky persons with whom you share) will love these tortillas as much as I do.
Happy eating!

2-Ingredient Coconut Flour Tortillas {vegan, keto, oil-free}
Incredible 2-ingredient coconut flour tortillas! Soft, fluffy, flexible & scrumptious, they are also vegan, keto, oil-free, easy to make, only 68 calories and 3.1 net carbs each.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (56 g) coconut flour (lightly spoon to measure)
- 2 tablespoons (10 g) whole psyllium husk (I do not recommend powder; see below)
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt (more or less to taste)
- 1 cup (237mL) water
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, s the coconut flour, psyllium husk and (optional) salt, breaking up any lumps in the coconut flour.
- Add the water to the bowl, stirring until combined. Let stand 5 minutes to thicken and then shape dough into a ball (it will feel moist & springy).
- Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. Shape each piece of dough into a ball.
- Place one dough ball between two large pieces of wax paper or parchment paper (plastic wrap will also work). Using a rolling pin, roll dough into a 7-inch (17.5 cm) circle. Carefully peel off top layer of paper.
- Lightly spritz a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Heat over medium high heat until hot. Place tortilla, dough side down, into skillet and carefully peel off second piece of paper.
- Cook the tortilla for 2 to 3 minutes until it begins to puff and the bottom is browned in spots (when you lift tortilla with a spatula). Flip the tortilla and cook the other side for 2 to 3 minutes longer until puffed and golden brown in spots.
- Transfer tortilla to a metal cooling rack and repeat with remaining pieces of dough.
- The tortillas are delicious warm, room temperature, or cold!
Notes
Storage: Store the cooled tortillas in an airtight container at cool room temperature for 2 days, the refrigerator for 2 weeks or the freezer for up to 6 months.
UPDATE--Psyllium Powder Option: I use WHOLE psyllium husks in my recipe. I previously suggested that it would likely be possible to sub 2 teaspoons (10 g) of psyllium husk powder in place of the 2 tablespoons (10 g) whole psyllium husks. However, multiple readers have noted that they cannot make it work with the powder version of psyllium. The recipe works perfectly with the whole psyllium husks!
Tip for Removing Tortillas from Paper: if the paper is really sticking to the tortilla, place the tortilla (in its paper) in the freezer for 3 or 4 minutes (not much longer). The tortilla will come off with ease!

Hi Camilla! I used psyllium husk powder bc it’s what the store had and I saw some recent comments saying it had worked alright. Unfortunately, my dough kept coming up super crumbly. I tried twice to the same result. Do you have any advice?

Can I use sesame seed in stead?
Camilla
Tuesday 24th of January 2023
Hi Beth I am not sure if you mean you sesame seed as a substitute for the coconut flour or the psyllium. But either way, sesame seed will not work as a substitute. This particular recipe will only work with the ingredients listed. Sorry. I have many other tortillas ond flatbreads on the site that use other ingredients— I hope that one of those will work for you.

Do you have an opinion on whether I could successfully combine this with the almond flour tortilla recipe? I’d plan to use half the ingredients from each. Thanks!
Camilla
Thursday 5th of January 2023
Hi Nan, Yes, I definitely think you could make that work, but it might take some experimenting to get the flour proportions right (since almond and coconut are used in very different proportions in recipes--usually a about 1:3 ration of coconut flour to almond flour (ie., if a recipe calls for 1/3 cup coconut flour, you would need 1 cup almond flour to replace it). I hope that helps! :)

I've been using this recipe for about 4 months now. It has become my go-to instead of store bought low carb wraps. I typically add onion and garlic powder, and often rosemary or everything bagel mix. Even with PB and jam I like the savory flavor. I weigh the ingredients, and generally get better results with the psyllium powder. I make 1 or 2 double batches, and have found that they freeze well.
I did stumble on something that reduced problems with them being fragile - letting the mix sit long enough to really absorb the liquid. I mixed up a batch at lunch time but didn't have time to cook them. I cooked them in the evening and they were more robust. I tried another batch, mixed them up in the evening and cooked in the morning - same thing, more robust. It could be a function of the type of coconut flour and the humidity, but it makes a big difference for me. I was even able to take them camping and not have them fall apart from the rough handling during the week.
