Do you want low-carb, Keto friendly no-flour tortillas that you can use for sandwiches, crepes or quesadillas? Below are 3 easy egg white wraps recipes that you can use to make them yourself.
Switch out high carb breads for low or zero carb wraps that also are high in protein. Plus, you can save money by making them yourself.
Furthermore, you can make them in large batches and freeze them. Save time and have high protein tortillas on hand whenever you want a sandwich wrap, taco, crepe, pizza, etc..
1. My Favorite Egg White Wraps Recipe:
This no-carb wrap is made of egg white protein powder, gelatin, water and salt. Plus, you can add whatever seasonings or flavors that you want. The video clip from Indigo Nili below shows how to make it, and you can find more of her egg white bread recipes on her blog. Watch it here:
The gelatin is a great substitute for other fibers (ie. psyllium husk) or gums (ie. xanthan gum or guar gum) that may not agree with your stomach. Plus, it makes your wraps more pliable and easy to work with. (I like the texture so much, that I even add gelatin to my egg white breads.)
Note: The ingredients in these egg white wraps can get sticky when you’re making them. So, I suggest using a non-stick griddle or crepe pan (no teflon) or making sure you add a little extra oil to your cooking pan.
2. Low Carb Wraps with Eggs Whites & Almond Flour:
Second, you can combine egg whites with almond flour if you prefer a more bread-like texture. You can find this recipe on The Protein Chef website.
The ingredients are really simple: basically use 1 tablespoon of almond flour for every 3 tablespoons of egg whites. Then, cook the wraps about 1-2 minutes per side in a skillet or pan.
3. 1-Ingredient Egg Wraps:
Finally, you can make egg wraps with just egg whites (or whole eggs). Megan shares her simple healthy recipe on her website DonutWorryBeHealthy.com.
Although this tortilla alternative is nothing fancy, you don’t have to buy any special ingredients. It can be a good option if all you have is eggs.
Where to Buy No-Flour Egg White Wraps:
Alternatively, you can buy egg wraps online. Although they cost more, you can buy them in bulk, freeze them and have them on hand for a quick meal when you need them.
