Not a Tortilla

I really wanted the Keto tortilla recipe I found online to be good.

It wasn't.

I've been craving quesadillas and although I recently used the low-carb Mission tortillas with success I decided to attempt making my own. 

At first I was hopeful because when I poured them onto the griddle they looked pretty tortilla-like:



I imagined my tastebuds would say, "Wow! These are so delicious! Where have you been all my life, you low-carb wonders, you?" 

What my tastebuds actually said was:

"My poor, poor child! What happened to you during your mostly sheltered life to make you think it's a good idea to squeeze cheddar cheese and taco-seasoned chicken between two pancakes, like this?"

Well, tastebuds, you nailed it. The "tortillas" looked and tasted pretty much exactly like the Keto pancakes I made a coupe of weeks ago. 


This Chicken Would Have Been Really Good in a Tortilla

This is Not a Damn Tortilla


I Could Have Lied and Said That Dinner Was Delicious. I Mean, It Looks Pretty Good, Right?


I'm not going to post the link for this recipe because:

A)  That would be kind of mean.

and 

B) I think part of the problem was that the recipe called for coconut flour -- and some of us are simply more sensitive to coconutiness, than others.  Tonight I found out that I am one of those people. If you don't mind coconut-favored Mexican food I suggest you google "Coconut Flour Keto Tortillas" and you'll end up with something like I made tonight.

If I need a good crepe recipe I'll be sure to use this one, again!


 This is Definitely Not a Tortilla, But Maybe It's a Crepe
