Crispy Zucchini Tortillas Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 lb of zucchini
- Flour substitution (such as almond flour for low-carb or keto)
- Cheese (shredded mozzarella recommended, or a substitute like parmesan or Monterey jack)
- Other ingredients as per personal taste and dietary needs.
Instructions
Preparation of Zucchini:
-
- Begin by wringing dry the zucchini thoroughly, which is key to the success of this recipe. Using a cheesecloth is advised for this step.
- Work in small batches to effectively remove moisture, splitting the zucchini into about 10 batches.
Flour and Cheese Substitutions:
-
- Use almond flour to keep the recipe low carb and keto-friendly.
- All-purpose flour or breadcrumbs can be used for those without dietary restrictions.
- Gluten-free flour or gluten-free breadcrumbs can be substituted for a gluten-free version.
- Pork rind breadcrumbs are another low carb or keto option.
Making the Tortillas:
-
- Preheat your oven as the recipe would suggest
- After drying, mix the shredded zucchini with your choice of flour and shredded cheese until you have a well-combined batter.
- Scoop the batter onto a baking sheet and flatten it into thin 5-inch circles.
- Bake in the oven until the edges and surface begin to brown.
Tips:
-
- Make sure the zucchini is as dry as possible to avoid a batter too moist.
- Aim for tortillas that are about 5 inches in diameter, and not too thick to ensure pliability.
- These tortillas can bake rather than cook on the stove for the best results.
Additional Advice
- Shredded, pre-packaged cheese is recommended as it typically contains less moisture than freshly shredded cheese.
- The cheese not only adds flavor but also works as a binding agent within the tortillas.
