Coconut Flour Wraps
The reason I love coconut flour is much is that a little goes a long way. It is naturally gluten-free, naturally extremely low in net carbs and so versatile in both sweet and savoury recipes.
In fact, you can even make these coconut flour wraps into a sweet dessert wrap, by simply adding some sweetener to taste and some vanilla. This would make a yummy after-school snack with cream cheese and berries inside.
Coconut flour is also very low in inflammatory omega 6. In our modern diet, we have an imbalance of omega 3 (anti-inflammatory) to omega 6 (inflammatory) ratio. Coconut flour is also incredibly economical.

Low-Carb Tortilla Wraps
Low-carb tortilla wraps are a versatile recipe that can be used for breakfast (just add bacon and eggs inside), lunch (add a salad, cheese, and meat) or for dinner.
Why not add low-carb/keto beef chili, sour cream, shredded/grated cheese, and some guacamole? Yes they will probably fall apart and kids will end up eating with their hands, but heck, who doesn’t do that when they go and grab a takeout?

I love developing coconut flour recipes because so many readers ask for baking that is almond flour free. This is due to their allergies or their children who attend a school with a nut-free policy.

- 30 g coconut flour
- 8 egg whites (from medium eggs)

- Serve with your choice of filling for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Notes

Juli says
These make better pancakes than they do tortillas. Way too thick, I measured super carefully like other people have. Fortunately, I have a sweet tooth so I’m enjoying my pancakes for dinner.
Tina says
Any suggestions on how I can turn these into tortilla chips?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
Cut into triangles then bake/fry OR I would actually make these.
Rose Axelson says
Hello. Any recipe ideas to use up the yolks that are not used in this recipe?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
Yes!!! Try lemon curd – so so good.
Jean says
Can I use the whole egg instead?
Kris says
Hi can I use whole eggs not just egg whites ?
Susan says
What in the world do you do with 8 yolks every time you make these?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
Lemon curd, hollandaise sauce, scrambled eggs with extra yolks …
Mel says
I find it’s best to just buy the carton of egg whites… located in the fridge section right next to the carton of eggs. This saves a lot of wastage as I can never seem to find a suitable use for the leftover yolks.
June says
This recipe proved to be a disaster. I carefully measured all the ingredients but, as I added the egg whites the coconut flour just absorbed them and I ended up using 12 medium egg whites.I heated the pan with the coconut oil and ladled in the mixture which was still rather thick for a batter (I had, by this time, run out of eggs). I flattened the batter to make a thinner tortilla but when I came to flip it it was firmly stuck to the pan.
Any ideas for making something else with a coconut flour and egg white batter?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
Hmm … I’m not quite sure what went wrong here as the recipe only requires 30g / 1/3cup so it almost seems impossible to use 12 egg whites. And did you use enough coconut oil, and is your frying pan reliable to flip tortillas/pancakes? I know I have 2 frying pans, one I rely on for tortillas and pancakes, the other pan always sticks no matter what I do so I keep that pan for my scrambled eggs.

Hi
How long do you think these could be stored in the fridge?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
They are egg heavy so stay fresh for a short period, I would estimate 2-3 days only.
Jessica says
How many egg whites would I need if I use large eggs?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
The recipe calls for 8 medium egg whites, so if you are using large eggs, I would use 6. You may need to adjust how much coconut flour you use. With most coconut flour recipes, I often have to add an extra tbsp or two of coconut flour depending on how humid the weather is and which brand I am using. It is quite easily affected by the moisture in the air and then its ability to swell and absorb liquids such as egg whites.
Julia Sambo says
Can you tell us what the fluid measurement for your 8 egg whites is? I have used recipes before that tell the fluid oz/ml of egg whites. This would then eliminate the whole substitution figuring. You would even be able to use small eggs if that is all you had.
JanP says
Do you think these would work for tortilla chips? I am thinking that I could cut them into triangles and bake them until crisp?
Every recipe that I have to roll out, turns out a flop. I can’t roll thin enough. But these might get crisp before they burn?
Thanks.
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
These are my favourite keto tortilla chips and my favourite taco shells – yummo!
Amber says
Can almond flour be substituted for the coconut flour?? And emwhole eggs vs just egg whites?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
I’m afraid that is another recipe entirely!!! 😉
Sarah J Hite says
I made these. They were delicious. I put a few in the freezer but they were only there for about 48 hours. I wrapped them in plastic wrap and thawed on the counter. Came out great.
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
Brilliant!!! Thank you for reporting that freezing works, I still haven’t managed to try (they all get eaten in our house) so I’m grateful for the positive feedback and tips!
Katherine says
How long will these last in the ice box and what is the best way to store them? Can theses be frozen and if so how long will they last in the freezer?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
I think they may be too delicate to freeze, I have never tried. But if you do successfully freeze them, please come back and let me know how they survive.
