These gluten-free tortillas are perfect for people following a Paleo or low-carb diet who are looking for a tasty and healthy alternative to traditional flour tortillas. The combination of coconut flour, almond milk, and egg whites makes these tortillas light, fluffy and flavorful. The addition of sea salt, ground cumin, chili powder and garlic salt elevates their flavor profile, making them a great addition to any meal. These tortillas can be piled high with your favorite fillings, like pulled chicken, grilled vegetables or scrambled eggs, for a delicious and healthy meal option.

Instructions

1.	In a mixing bowl, whisk together 6 egg whites or 3/4 cup egg white, 4 tablespoons coconut flour, and 4 tablespoons almond milk.
2.	Add the sea salt, ground cumin, chili powder, and garlic salt.
3.	Heat a skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of the mixture onto the skillet and use a spatula to spread it out. Cook the tortilla for 1-2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned, then remove it from the skillet and set it aside.
4.	Repeat Step 3 with the remaining mixture.
