Ingredients You’ll Need

Zucchini tortillas

• 2 packed cups finely grated zucchini
  • Use small to medium zucchini since they taste less bitter.
  • I like to grate on the small holes of a box grater for a smoother tortilla.
• 1 cup shredded low moisture mozzarella cheese
  • Pre shredded works fine; I reach for a low moisture brand like Kraft or store brand.
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • Shelf stable green can Parmesan works in a pinch, though fresh tastes better.
• 2 tablespoons almond flour
  • Use blanched almond flour, not almond meal, for a smoother texture.
• 1 tablespoon coconut flour
  • This helps absorb moisture and keeps the tortillas from tearing.
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/8 teaspoon chili powder or smoked paprika
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Optional flavor boosts

• 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
• 1 tablespoon minced green onion
• Pinch of red pepper flakes for heat

Pantry shortcuts and substitutions

• Swap mozzarella with Monterey Jack or a mild cheddar if you prefer, though mozzarella keeps the color lighter.
• Replace almond flour with finely ground sunflower seed flour if you avoid nuts.
• Skip coconut flour and add 1 extra tablespoon almond flour if you dislike coconut flavor, though the tortillas may feel a bit softer.

Equipment

• Box grater or food processor with shredding disc
• Clean kitchen towel or nut milk bag for squeezing zucchini
• Large mixing bowl
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper (not wax paper)
• Silicone spatula
• Large nonstick skillet or cast iron pan
• Thin spatula for flipping

Tips & Tricks

• Squeeze the zucchini very dry until it clumps and almost no liquid drips out; this step keeps tortillas from turning soggy.
• Spread the batter thin and even on parchment so the tortillas cook through and stay flexible.
• Use slightly wet hands or the back of a spoon to smooth the batter into circles.
• Bake on parchment, not directly on the tray, so the tortillas release easily.
• Let the tortillas cool a few minutes before you lift them; they firm up as they cool.
• Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet right before serving to bring back softness and a little char.
• Keep tortillas small, about 5 to 6 inches, so they hold together when you fold them.
• Taste the first cooked tortilla and adjust salt or spices in the remaining batter if needed.

How to Make Keto Zucchini Tortillas Recipe

Prep the zucchini

1. Wash and dry the zucchini, then trim the ends.
2. Grate the zucchini on the small holes of a box grater or use a food processor.
3. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel, gather the corners, and twist hard over the sink to squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
4. Keep squeezing until the zucchini feels almost dry and crumbly; this step sets up the texture.

Mix the batter

1. Add the squeezed zucchini to a large mixing bowl.
2. Stir in the egg and mix until the zucchini looks evenly coated.
3. Add mozzarella, Parmesan, almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, and black pepper.
4. Mix until the mixture turns thick and holds together like a sticky dough; if it looks runny, add 1 extra teaspoon coconut flour.
5. Fold in cilantro, green onion, or red pepper flakes if you use them.

Shape the tortillas

1. Heat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Divide the mixture into 6 to 8 equal portions, depending on how big you want your tortillas.
3. Place each portion on the parchment and press it into a thin circle about 5 to 6 inches wide.
4. Smooth the tops with slightly damp fingers or the back of a spoon so the thickness stays even across each tortilla.

Bake the tortillas

1. Place the baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven.
2. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until the edges look set and the tops lose their wet shine.
3. Flip each tortilla carefully with a thin spatula, then bake another 5 to 7 minutes until they look lightly golden.
4. Pull them from the oven and let them cool on the tray for 5 minutes so they firm up.

Finish in a skillet for best texture

1. Heat a nonstick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat.
2. Add one tortilla to the dry pan and cook 30 to 60 seconds per side until it feels warm, flexible, and slightly browned in spots.
3. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, stacking them on a plate and covering with a clean towel to keep them soft.
4. Fill and serve while warm, or cool completely for storage.

What to Serve with Keto Zucchini Tortillas Recipe

These keto zucchini tortillas work with taco fillings like seasoned ground beef, shredded chicken, or sautéed shrimp with avocado and salsa. I also love them as breakfast wraps with scrambled eggs, cheese, and a spoonful of salsa verde. Use them as mini pizza bases with sugar free marinara, mozzarella, and pepperoni. Pair with sides like cauliflower rice, guacamole, salsa, crunchy salad, or grilled veggies, plus sparkling water or iced tea.

Storage Options

• Store cooled tortillas in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, with parchment between each tortilla so they do not stick.
• Freeze tortillas in a single layer on a baking sheet, then stack them with parchment between each and keep in a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
• Reheat chilled tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 to 45 seconds per side until warm and flexible.
• Reheat frozen tortillas straight from the freezer in a skillet or microwave them for 15 to 20 seconds, then finish in a pan for the best texture.
