How to Make It
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and add the egg and apple cider vinegar. Mix the ingredients together until you have a sticky dough. You shouldn’t need any water, but you can add a small amount if your dough is dry.
Step 2
Transfer the tortilla dough to plastic wrap, and flatten the dough into a disc so it chills quickly. Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes until it’s firm. Once the dough is firm enough, roll the tortilla dough out very, very thin between two sheets of parchment paper. Begin heating a pan on your stove over medium-high to high heat.
Step 3
Wait until the pan is hot throughout, then transfer the raw tortilla to the pan. If done properly, the tortilla will have small air bubbles appear in the center while it cooks. Cook until the edges of the tortilla are brown and it naturally releases from the pan. Flip the tortilla over and cook it until done on the other side, adjusting the heat as necessary.
Step 4
Wait until the cooked tortilla cools until it’s warm and no longer hot. Spread the cream cheese across the warm tortilla. Next, you’ll need to use a vegetable peeler to peel long strips from a whole cucumber until you have enough strips to equal the weight listed in the ingredients (about 4-5 strips per serving). Arrange the cucumber strips in a thin layer over your cream cheese.
Step 5
Slice red bell pepper into thin, julienne strips. Cut whole stalks of green onion to the length of your tortilla. Then, arrange the bell pepper and green onion in a strip along one side of the tortilla. Carefully roll the tortilla up into a tight roll. Use a sharp knife to cut the roll into 4-6 pieces for serving.
