Y’all, We’re Making Low-Carb Tortillas!

Ever feel like you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place with your keto diet? You crave that perfect wrap, but traditional tortillas are basically carb bombs waiting to derail your progress. Well, guess what? Today we’re diving into the wild west of low-carb cooking to test two recipes that promise the impossible.

I’ve been getting blown up by messages about these tortilla recipes. People are obsessed. And honestly? I get it.

The Contenders

First up: the three-ingredient wonder from thebigmansworld.com. No dairy, no eggs, just pure simplicity. Second: Steve’s famous 90-second microwave magic from siriuskito.com that’s got everyone talking.

But before we jump in, massive shoutout to Green Chef for sponsoring today’s chaos. These folks get it – they’re USDA certified organic with meal plans that actually make sense. Their keto options? *Chef’s kiss*

Recipe #1: The Big Man’s Three-Ingredient Miracle

Here’s what caught my eye – this recipe is stupid simple. Blanched almond flour (sifted, because we ain’t savages), whole psyllium husk (not the powder stuff, that’s a different beast entirely), and a pinch of salt.

Pro tip: I switched psyllium husk brands because my previous attempts looked like I was making purple play-dough. Not exactly appetizing.

The process: Mix dry ingredients, add olive oil and hot water, let it rest like it’s taking a power nap, then knead the heck out of it.

Rolling these babies out between parchment paper saved my sanity. Cast iron skillet worked like a charm, even though the recipe called for non-stick.

Recipe #2: Steve’s 90-Second Microwave Madness

This one’s for the impatient among us. One egg, equal parts almond flour, whole psyllium husk, and unflavored whey protein isolate, plus a splash of heavy cream.

Mix it up, pour onto a ceramic plate, microwave for 90 seconds. Boom. Done.

Fair warning – getting it off the plate without Steve’s fancy silicone mat is like performing surgery with oven mitts. Doable, but requires patience I don’t always have.

The Nutrition Breakdown

Big Man’s Recipe (per tortilla): 195 calories, 6g protein, 15g fat, 2g net carbs

Steve’s 90-Second Wonder: 195 calories, 11.5g protein, 14g fat, 1.1g net carbs

The Taste Test Reality Check

Alright, moment of truth time. The Big Man’s version? Surprisingly pliable and actually tastes like what you’d expect from a tortilla. Could definitely wrap a burrito with this bad boy.

Steve’s microwave creation? Mind. Blown. The texture is spot-on, folds beautifully, and would work perfectly for enchiladas.

If I’m being nitpicky, I’d add a dash more salt to Steve’s recipe. But honestly? Both of these deliver on their promises.

The Verdict

Can low-carb tortillas be done? Absolutely. Both recipes work, but they serve different purposes.

Choose the Big Man’s recipe if you’re batch cooking for the week. Go with Steve’s if you need instant gratification or you’re making individual servings.

Either way, you’re looking at legitimate tortilla alternatives that won’t torpedo your macros.

Big News!

Two huge announcements: First, I’m moving to sunny San Diego! New kitchen, new setup, same chaotic energy.

Second – and this is the big one – my book drops August 10th! “Ketogenic Diet on a Budget: Shop Smarter, Batch Cook, and Eat Better.” We’re talking eating keto for eight bucks a day, using regular grocery store ingredients.

This thing’s been a year in the making, and I’m pumped to get it in your hands. Pre-order links are below because your support makes all this madness possible.

Thanks for riding along on this journey. These videos keep me honest and my eating on track. See you soon from the West Coast!
