Coconut flour tortilla wrap
While we totally loved most of the food we ate during our first Whole30, it was summer at that time and salads felt like a more natural choice than they do today. I mean; I love salads and I could easily eat them everyday but once in a while something else for lunch is not too bad I would think.. 😉 So I have decided to search for other alternatives and options. One of the fun things I like to do is to create a Whole30 approved recipe by modifying a ‘normal’ recipe. You’ll see some of those pass by for sure too, but this particular one is coming from the same place as the broccoli soup; the ebook from Marjolein Dubbers.
While it’s called a tortilla wrap I don’t think the flavor is anything like a regular wrap. It’s just as delicious but if you’re expecting a corn tortilla it might be a disappointment. The texture is somewhat between a pancake and a omelet in. No surprise with the eggwhites that is the main part of the recipe. It’s simple and quick to make and can ofcourse be adapted to any filling you’d like.

This is really fascinating…. and I would love to try it. Really a great lighter option for a wrap and it looks absolutely delicious!
It is Jamie! I will be testing a bit more on different amounts of coconut flour as I thought this one was quite eggy so to speak but loved the taste!
I love anything that’s like pancake/crepe, this is an interesting recipe to try when I can get my hands on coconut flour, haven’t seen any yet. I’ve made a pretty good buckwheat wrap (it’s more like a crepe texture) that uses whole egg and milk.
Not sure how it is over on your side but I can get coconut flour here online. Stores usually don’t stock it as it is too specific for most people!
Hey Simone – this looks yummy – how do I multiply it for 4 people at 2 or 3 per person – you know for left over and lunch tomorrow 🙂
This is a huge winner. Thank you so much!
Glad you liked it Trina!
