Easy Egg White Tortillas
Two ingredient egg white tortillas that only take 1-2 minutes to make. These naturally gluten free low carb wraps are super easy to make and can be eaten any time of the day.
If you’re looking for an easy meal or just want a unique spin on a traditional breakfast wrap, these low carb egg wraps are the way to go. Similar to Egglife wraps, these homemade egg wraps can be used along with your favorite fillings like bacon and veggies, but are a healthier alternative to a classic flour tortilla recipe.
Egg White Wraps Ingredients
There are only 2 main ingredients in these wraps.:
egg whites – It’s an egg white tortilla so you can’t get by making it without egg whites.
almond flour or corn starch – Many recipes call for corn starch, but I prefer using almond flour on most days to keep this grain free. Xanthan gum is another option. However, people on gut healing protocols may want to avoid the use of Xanthan gum so see the above options provided.
salt – optional – for flavor
black pepper – optional – to personal taste
Nut Free Option
If you want to make these nut free use 8 teaspoons of arrowroot powder instead of the almond flour in the recipe.
Tools Needed
8-inch skillet – for large beautiful tortillas
large spatula – to flip those tortillas
egg separator – Not a necessity, but it makes the job much easier.
blender – to mix egg white mixture

What Should I Do With Those Extra Egg Yolks
You may have noticed that this recipe calls for quite a few egg whites, but what will you do with all those extra egg yolks? Here’s what not to do: Do not throw them away.
Set the egg yolks aside to make hollandaise sauce. Egg white tortillas pair nicely with bacon or sausage, some greens and hollandaise sauce for a delicious breakfast wrap.
I personally use raw egg yolks in ice cream.
How Do I Know When To Flip The Egg Whites Over
When the egg white is ready to flip, it will get slightly brown around the edges. Once that starts to happen, get a spatula and gently start lifting the sides. If it starts to lift easily, proceed with flipping the whole egg white tortilla.
Methods to Separate Egg Yolks From Egg Whites
- Use an egg separator – It make the job a bit easier.
- Crack the egg into a bowl and use a large slotted spoon to remove the yolks from the whites.
Variations
Try adding some of these ingredients to your egg wrap for a more flavorful EGGsperience.

These turned out perfectly! I was pleasantly surprised how robust these were – not sticky, not crumbly at all! Used as ‘soft tortillas’ for tacos and were amazing! Will definitely be making again – I used 1 Tbl almond flour + 1 Tbl cornstarch, perfection
So delighted that this recipe worked for you Elise.
Love this recipe! Our family doesn’t eat dairy or grains, and our 12 year old missed bread, wraps and pancakes terribly! With just a few modifications, this satisfies so many of his cravings! Thank you!
We are using these for soft tacos this evening, adding a few savory spices to the batter! 🥰
Oh yum! So happy that your family enjoyed it.
