42. Tricks for tortillas et.al...

There is a tricky recipe for keto tortillas...it's takes practice to finesse, but basically it's like a crepe with egg white, almond/coconut flour and water. I found the trick is you need very thin watery batter, and you have to make sure they get done and are completely dry on the top side, and peel them with your fingertips to flip because a spatula will snowplow right through before they're cooked. They're fragile until they cool down then they are stronger and work exactly like flour tortillas and taste great - not like egg at all.

(There are different variations if you google, some with more ingredients, I just did egg whites, almond flour and water and seasonings. keto connect has a video and it's worth experimenting if you miss tortillas. I've even experimented with faux enchilada and lasagna by stacking and baking them with cheese, meat, and sauces.)

The easier solution is Mission "Carb Conscious" tortillas which have carbs but are much easier than making them - small tortillas have 2-3 carbs, big giant ones have 6-8, where most tortillas can be 20-30 based on size and brand.

Chips are more difficult. I sometimes get the Quest tortilla chips which are tasty but very delicate and expensive and not as crunchy as you're used to - too fragile to dip anything, but they taste like Doritos! Another option is cheese crisps which you can make in the oven with shredded cheese and muffin tins, or you can buy Whisps brand in some stores, or Aldi has a parmesan crisp.

I have toasted Mission carb conscious tortillas in the toaster oven which produces a cracker-like "chip" that can be dipped. I've also toasted cheese and pepperoni on it and it works as a crunchy-style thin pizza.

I tried making Fathead pizza dough and never got the hang of it. Tasty messes; mine ended more like "bowl of yummy pizza-like destruction" instead of a crust. Quest also has a frozen low carb pizza, but when I say frozen pizza it's like "totinos party pizza" level. If you like that, it's good.

Luckily I can find Healthy Life Zero Carb bread at the store and Aldi's zero carb bread.

For rice, just use riced cauliflower, but you have to season it. Great for stir-fry, and mashed cauliflower prepared and seasoned correctly can work as mashed potatoes.
