Candice’s Low Carb Tortilla’s
So don't look at me all crazy.. but here is a low carb version on a corn tortilla using peanut and coconut flour. Again, don't look at me crazy.. they are pretty darn good if I say so myself!
For me the nutty flavor of the peanut flour works good to create a low carb 'corn' tortilla. The texture and flavor are pretty good. I ate a few fried up like chips and let me just say YUM!
Hope you enjoy!
