These zucchini tortillas are a great way to use up an abundance of zucchini while also enjoying something that is a little more nutritious and lower in carbs than traditional tortillas. They can easily be used as a base for wraps or tacos, and have a wonderful cheesy flavor from the parmesan and shredded cheese.
To make the zucchini tortillas, you simply mix shredded zucchini with salt, paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, breadcrumbs, parmesan, eggs, and your choice of shredded cheese. Then, it gets divided into tortillas on a baking sheet before being baked in the oven. The combination of eggs and cheese helps hold everything together to create soft tortillas once baked.
What are Zucchini Tortillas?
Zucchini tortillas are an easy replacement for classic flour-based tortillas but they don’t contain any flour. Instead, they are a blend of shredded zucchini, seasonings, breadcrumbs, eggs, and cheeses, which produces a lower carb result. Thin, crepe-like, and baked in the oven, they are both delicious and easy to make!
Pro Tips
- Shred the zucchini on the large grater side of a box grater as you don’t want the zucchini to be too fine.
- If you don’t have zucchini on hand, you could replace it with yellow summer squash instead.
- Make sure the ingredients are mixed thoroughly so that it becomes a homogenous dough.
- For evenly-sized tortillas, use measuring spoons to portion the mixture.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Need to Peel Zucchini Before Shredding it?
No, there is no need to peel the zucchini before you shred it as the skin is generally quite thin and easy to eat, and the zucchini will be shredded finely.
Can I Freeze Zucchini for Later Use?
Yes, you definitely could! When you have a lot of zucchini from your garden, you can shred it and divide it between freezer bags to put in the freezer. It should keep well for up to 3 months, although the zucchini will likely soften. Soft zucchini that is thawed after freezing would work perfectly in this zucchini tortilla recipe.
Can I Make Zucchini Tortillas Gluten-Free?
Yes, you can! If you need them to be gluten-free, you could replace the breadcrumbs with your favorite gluten-free breadcrumbs.
How to Store Zucchini Tortillas
The zucchini tortillas should be stored in a sealed container in the fridge where they will stay fresh for up to 3 to 4 days.
