Ingredients
-
2 medium zucchinis (about 2 cups grated)
-
2 large eggs
-
¼ cup grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan)
-
2 tbsp almond flour or oat flour (for texture & hold)
-
½ tsp garlic powder
-
½ tsp salt
-
¼ tsp black pepper
-
Olive oil or cooking spray (for the pan)
Optional Add-Ins:
-
1 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (parsley, basil, or chives)
-
A pinch of chili flakes for a little heat
-
1 tbsp ground flaxseed or chia seeds for extra fiber
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Zucchini
-
Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor.
-
Place grated zucchini in a clean towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible—this step is essential for firm tortillas.
-
Transfer the squeezed zucchini to a mixing bowl.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
-
Add eggs, cheese, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the zucchini.
-
Mix well until fully combined. The mixture should be thick and scoopable, not runny.
Step 3: Cook the Tortillas
-
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil or spray.
-
Scoop ¼ cup of the zucchini batter onto the skillet and spread into a thin circle using the back of a spoon.
-
Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden and set.
-
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil if needed.
Step 4: Serve or Store
-
Serve warm filled with scrambled eggs, avocado, salsa, or your favorite breakfast fillings.
-
Or cool completely and store in the fridge for later use.
Notes
Squeeze Thoroughly – The drier the zucchini, the better the texture.
Don’t Skip the Cheese – It acts as a binder and adds flavor.
Make Them Thin – Spread evenly in the pan for best flexibility.
Flip Carefully – Let them cook fully on one side before flipping.
Customize Freely – Add herbs, spices, or even spinach for variety.
