Advertisement

When you’re on a strict carnivore or zero-carb diet, finding replacements for your favorite foods — like tortillas — can feel impossible. But this Zero-Carb Carnivore Tortilla recipe is here to change that. Made entirely from animal-based ingredients, these tortillas are soft, flexible, and perfect for wraps, tacos, or sandwich substitutes.

Unlike store-bought low-carb options, these tortillas contain no plant ingredients, no grains, and no fillers — just simple, nourishing components that align with a strict carnivore lifestyle. They’re high in protein, incredibly satisfying, and remarkably easy to make at home.

Whether you’re meal-prepping for the week or just want a low-effort, high-protein meal base, this recipe is a game changer. All you need is a blender, a frying pan, and 15 minutes of your time.


⏱️ Cooking Time and Serving

  • Prep Time: 5 minutes

  • Cook Time: 10 minutes

  • Total Time: 15 minutes

  • Servings: Makes 4 tortillas

  • Serving Size: 1 tortilla


📝 Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs

  • 4 oz chicken breast (cooked or canned)

  • 2 tbsp beef tallow or butter (for cooking)

  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Optional Additions (for variety, if tolerated):

  • 1 tbsp grated Parmesan (for flavor and structure)

  • 1 egg white (for extra thin tortillas)


👨‍🍳 How to Make Zero-Carb Carnivore Tortillas

  1. Blend the batter:
    In a high-speed blender, add eggs and cooked chicken breast. Blend on high for 30–45 seconds until completely smooth and liquid. The batter should resemble thin pancake batter.

  2. Heat the pan:
    Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of beef tallow or butter to grease the surface.

  3. Cook the tortillas:
    Pour about ¼ of the batter into the pan and immediately swirl it around to spread it into a thin circle. Cook for 1–2 minutes, or until the edges lift and the bottom is set.

  4. Flip and finish:
    Carefully flip the tortilla with a spatula and cook for another 30–60 seconds until done. Remove and set aside on a plate lined with parchment paper.

  5. Repeat:
    Repeat with remaining batter, re-greasing the pan as needed between each tortilla.

  6. Cool & use:
    Let tortillas cool slightly before using. They’ll become more flexible and durable as they rest.


📝 Notes

  • Storage: Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave before use.

  • Freezer Friendly: These freeze well! Stack with parchment between each and store in a zip-top bag.

  • Texture Tip: Blending thoroughly is key to a smooth, crepe-like texture.

  • Custom Flavors: Add cooked bacon, bone broth, or organ meat for extra nutrients (if tolerated).


❓FAQs

Are these really zero-carb?
Yes, if made with just eggs and chicken breast, they are virtually zero-carb. Double-check labels if using canned chicken or cheese.

Do they taste like real tortillas?
They don’t taste like flour tortillas, but they are mild in flavor and work well as a wrap. The texture is soft and pliable, especially when cooled slightly.

Can I use raw chicken?
No, you must use cooked chicken. Using raw meat would alter the batter and cooking time.

What can I fill them with?
Keep it carnivore! Try ground beef, steak strips, egg salad, liver pate, or even just melted cheese (if dairy is allowed).
