Almond tortillas
Almond tortillas are soft, gluten-free flatbreads made with ground almonds, cashew nuts, coconut flour and egg whites. The Thermomix TM7 grinds the nuts to a fine flour in seconds and whips the egg whites to airy peaks, giving these low-carb tortillas their pliable texture. Ideal for wraps, lunchboxes and light dinners.
About this recipe
Almond tortillas with the Thermomix TM7 are a game-changer for anyone searching for gluten-free wrap recipes that actually hold together. Instead of wheat flour, these soft flatbreads rely on raw almonds and cashew nuts ground to a fine powder, bound with coconut flour, arrowroot starch and airy egg whites. Searching for a low-carb alternative to bread for your quick weeknight dinner? These tortillas deliver a subtly nutty flavour and a pliable texture that wraps around falafel, grilled vegetables or smoked salmon without tearing. The all-in-one kitchen machine makes the process remarkably simple: the nuts become fresh flour in seconds, and the butterfly whisk whips the egg whites to stable peaks for a light crumb. With almond milk and a touch of onion salt in the batter, each tortilla is aromatic and savoury. Perfect for meal prep, lunchboxes and grain-free family dinners, this recipe proves that healthy wraps can be quick and delicious.
Preparation tips
- Grind the raw almonds and cashew nuts in batches for the finest, most even flour; coarse particles make the tortillas brittle. Let the ground nut mixture rest briefly before combining so the coconut flour can absorb moisture evenly.
- Heat a lightly oiled, non-stick pan and cook each tortilla until the edges lift easily before flipping; rushing the first side causes tearing. Keep finished tortillas stacked under a tea towel so they stay soft and pliable for wrapping.
- For a milder flavour children enjoy, replace the onion salt with a pinch of plain sea salt and serve the tortillas with creamy hummus. Store leftovers between sheets of baking paper in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
Recipe variations
- Herby variation: add dried oregano, chopped chives or a pinch of cumin to the batter for a Mediterranean tortilla that pairs beautifully with grilled courgette, feta and tzatziki in a summery wrap.
- Festive variation: stir in a teaspoon of smoked paprika and a dash of garlic powder, then serve the warm tortillas as a base for a shared winter table with pulled mushrooms, avocado and spiced yogurt sauce.
