How to Make Low Carb Zucchini Wraps
First off, wash the vegetables thoroughly. Dry the zucchini before grating it. Make thin strips to make a cup. Squeeze out the liquid and discard.
Transfer the grated zucchini in a bowl with the grated cheese. Flavor with the spices and herbs as well. Add the coconut flour and egg then mix. Continue stirring until the batter is uniform.
Cover a tray with some parchment paper. Transfer the batter onto the tray and make 4 circles. Flatten the batter to resemble a tortilla. Make as big as you like.
Put in the 350 F preheated oven to bake. This may be about 15-20 minutes. You can adjust the time depending on how thick and big your tortilla is.
Transfer to plates and stuff with any filling of your choice.
After you finish making these tortillas, let them cool down and you can store it in a fridge and reheat it in microwave as any other regular tortillas.
