Tacos and burritos are crowd favorites, but as a keto dieter, you can’t exactly indulge in a delicious treat like that unless you’re willing to have it sans tortilla. There are several cheese-crusted taco shell recipes floating around on the internet but when you’re craving a soft flour tortilla, this is the recipe you’ll want to make!
If you’re a seasoned keto dieter, odds are you already have coconut flour on hand. In addition to the coconut flour, you’ll only need a few other ingredients. Once the ingredients are whisked together, you’ll prepare the tortillas in a skillet.

Keto bread doesn’t exactly feel like regular bread as it’s often more dense in texture. However, I was utterly shocked when I stumbled upon this recipe! I never thought I’d see the word pillowy-soft and keto in the same sentence! But alas, here we are.
This awesome recipe does require a few ingredients that you may not already have on hand, but the results are seriously worth it! You’ll also be happy to know that even know these buns have an unreal pillowy texture, they still come in at about 3 net carbs per serving – WOAH!
