INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup Golden Flax Seed Meal
• 2 tbsp. Psyllium Husk Powder
• 2 tsp. Olive Oil
• 1/4 tsp. Xanthan Gum
• 1/2 tsp. Curry Powder
• 1 cup + 2 tbsp. Filtered Water
• 1 tsp. Olive Oil per Tortilla
• 1/2 tsp. Coconut Flour per Tortilla

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the golden flax seed meal, psyllium husk powder, olive oil, xanthan gum, and curry powder. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
2. Add the filtered water and 2 teaspoons of olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until the mixture forms a light dough. Let the dough rest uncovered for 1 hour. This resting time allows the flaxseed meal and psyllium husk powder to absorb the moisture and bind the dough together.
3. After the resting time, divide the dough into 5 equal pieces if using a tortilla press or into 3 equal pieces if rolling by hand.
4. If using a tortilla press: Place a piece of dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Press the dough until it forms a thin tortilla. Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and dust the tortilla with coconut flour.
5. If rolling by hand: Dust a clean surface with coconut flour. Place a piece of dough on the surface and roll it out with a rolling pin until it forms a thin tortilla. Dust the tortilla with coconut flour.
6. Repeat the process with the remaining pieces of dough.
7. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Place a tortilla in the pan and cook until desired brownness, flipping once to cook both sides. This should take a few minutes per side.
8. Remove the cooked tortilla from the pan and repeat the cooking process with the remaining tortillas, adding more oil to the pan as needed.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:

• Make sure to let the dough rest for 1 hour before dividing and shaping the tortillas. This resting time allows the flaxseed meal and psyllium husk powder to absorb the moisture and bind the dough together.
• When pressing or rolling out the tortillas, use coconut flour to prevent sticking and add a subtle coconut flavor.
• Adjust the cooking time and heat according to your preference for browning the tortillas.

TIPS:

• Store the cooked tortillas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a pan or microwave before using.
• These curried flax tortillas are perfect for wraps, tacos, quesadillas, or enjoyed on their own as a healthy and flavorful alternative to bread.

YIELD: This recipe yields approximately 5 tortillas.
