Easy Flourless Protein Tortillas (Carnivore Tortillas)

Easy Flourless Protein Tortillas (Carnivore Tortillas)

My dear friend, who is also known as the @theketopractor on Instagram is an amazing doctor who is from Honolulu. She posted how she made easy protein wraps with cottage cheese and my recipe is inspired by her brilliant idea!

HOW TO MAKE EASY Flourless PROTEIN TORTILLAS

To make my easy Flourless Protein Tortillas, I used Further Food gelatin!

Adding gelatin help to form the healthy tortillas into a delicious bite of chewy goodness!

I love Further Food gelatin and their collagen is my favorite! You are going to love my yummy protein tortillas!

Further Food Gelatin is a grass-fed, pasture-raised gelatin rich in the amino acids your body uses to build and repair connective tissue. Unlike collagen peptides (which dissolve in any temperature), gelatin must be dissolved in hot liquid and gels when cooled—a property that gives it powerful gut-soothing and tissue-strengthening benefits.

Detailed Explanations

1. Supports Joint, Tendon & Ligament Strength

Gelatin is naturally high in glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline—the same amino acids that make up cartilage, fascia, ligaments, and joint tissue.
This helps:

  • Reduce joint stiffness

  • Support flexibility and mobility

  • Promote recovery from activity or training

It is especially helpful as we age or increase training load.

2. Strengthens Gut Lining & Improves Digestive Comfort

Gelatin forms a soothing, protective gel along the intestinal mucosa.
This can help:

  • Reduce bloating

  • Support a healthy gut lining

  • Improve nutrient absorption

  • Calm irritation after meals

It is one of the most effective nutrient-based supports for gut repair.

3. Promotes Deep, Restful Sleep & Nervous System Calm

Glycine, one of gelatin’s primary amino acids, has a naturally calming effect and supports parasympathetic (“rest & digest”) activity.

Benefits include:

  • Better sleep quality

  • Easier relaxation at night

  • Less nighttime waking

  • Lower stress reactivity

Great as an evening latte or warm nighttime drink.

4. Supports Skin, Hair & Nail Health

By providing collagen-building amino acids, gelatin helps maintain the structural elasticity and hydration of skin.

This can lead to:

  • Smoother skin texture

  • Better elasticity

  • Stronger nails

  • Reduced dryness

A gentle, whole-food approach to glowing, resilient skin.

5. Balances High-Protein Diets & Complements Muscle Meat

Most protein-rich diets (especially keto or carnivore-leaning) are heavy in methionine.
Gelatin provides glycine, which helps balance methionine metabolism and supports:

  • Liver detoxification

  • Healthy methylation

  • Reduced inflammation load

This makes gelatin a smart companion to steak, eggs, poultry, and whey protein.

Personal Touch

If your nutrition approach emphasizes protein first, gelatin helps ensure you’re not just building muscle, but also the connective tissue that holds everything together—joints, tendons, cartilage, gut lining, and even the skin barrier.

This is the structural side of protein—the part that keeps you agile, pain-free, youthful, and strong.

Practical Advice

How to Use

  • Stir 1 tbsp into hot liquids (coffee, tea, broth) and drink warm

  • Use to make high-protein gummies

  • Use to make my flourless protein tortillas
  • Add to soups, sauces, chili, bone broth, puddings

Best Time to Take

  • Evening for gut healing + sleep benefits

  • Any time if using in recipes

Pair With

  • Vitamin C (lemon juice, berries, broccoli) to support collagen synthesis

Conclusion

Further Food Gelatin is an effective, whole-food-based supplement that supports:

  • Joint mobility & connective tissue strength

  • Gut lining repair & digestive comfort

  • Restful sleep & calm nervous system tone

  • Skin elasticity, resilience & glow

  • Balanced amino acid intake in high-protein diets

It’s not just protein—it’s structural nourishment that helps your body stay strong, flexible, radiant, and well-supported.
