Ingredients
- 2 egg whites large, ¼ cup, 60 grams

- optional salt to taste
- Olive oil or butter for frying
Instructions
- Separate the eggs. Whisk the egg whites and coconut flour in a mixing bowl until just combined. Add a pinch of salt, if using.
- Heat oil or butter a small nonstick pan over medium heat. Pour in the egg white mixture and tilt the pan to evenly spread it.
- Fry for 1-2 minutes until the bottom is set. Then, carefully flip the wrap using a large spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds or until the other side is set. Do not over-cook or the wrap becomes dry.
- Put the wrap on a plate and let it cool a little. Then, fill it with your favorite fillings and roll it up tightly.
Notes
0.6g net carbs per wrap. Makes 1 wrap, 16 cm in diameter.
Whisk until just combined. Don't beat the mix for too long or it the egg whites will become stiff. This makes the wraps too thick.
Don't over-fry! If you leave egg white tortillas in the pan for too long or fry over a high heat, they can become dry and crack when you roll them.
Fill right before serving. If you add watery ingredients such as cucumber or tomatoes, they can soften the texture of the wrap over time and cause it to split. That's why it's best to eat the wraps straight after filling them.
Wrap leftovers well so they stay fresh and pliable.
Refrigerator: Wrap egg white wraps in plastic wrap or put them in an airtight container. This way, they can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days without drying out or absorbing fridge odours.
Freezer: Layer parchment paper between the wraps so they don't stick together, then put in an airtight freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
