FAQ: Carnivore Tortilla Edition

Welcome to the Carnivore Tortilla FAQ, where I answer all your burning questions about this culinary marvel! Whether you’re wondering if your tortilla can double as Barbie’s yoga mat or why finely grated cheese is the unsung hero of this recipe, we’ve got you covered. Let’s dive into the deliciously quirky world of carnivore tortillas and get ready to laugh, learn, and maybe even become a tortilla whisperer!

Can I use pre-shredded cheese for this recipe?

While pre-shredded cheese might seem like a convenient option, it often contains anti-caking agents that are definitely not carnivore—or suitable to any diet as far as I’m concerned. For the best results, grab a grater and channel your inner cheese artisan. Your taste buds (and your health!) will thank you!

Why does the cheese need to be finely grated?

Great question! Finely grated cheese melts more evenly and integrates better with the egg and gelatin, giving your tortilla a smooth, cohesive texture. Coarse cheese might leave you with lumpy bits and an uneven tortilla. So, take the extra minute to finely grate your cheese—it’s worth it!

What if I don’t have gelatin powder? Can I substitute it with something else?

Nope. You see, gelatin powder is the secret sauce (or powder) that gives this tortilla its magical pliability. Without it, you might end up with a tortilla that’s more like a sad omelet. So, stick with the gelatin for that perfect bendy texture.

How do I know when to flip the tortilla?

When the top is set and no longer wet, it’s time to flip. Think of it like flipping a pancake but with more protein-packed goodness. And remember, confidence is key—commit to the flip!

Can I make a big batch and store them for later?

Absolutely! These tortillas freeze like a dream. Just layer them with parchment paper in between, pop them in a freezer bag, and you’re good to go. When you’re ready to eat, a quick reheat in the skillet or microwave will do the trick.

What’s the best way to spread the batter evenly in the skillet?

Pour the batter into the center of the skillet and give it a gentle shake to let gravity do its thing. If you’re feeling fancy, you can use the back of a spoon to help it along. Just channel your inner tortilla whisperer.

Can I add spices or herbs to the batter?

Spice things up, why not—if you tolerate plant matter, that is! Feel free to add a pinch of your favorite spices or herbs to the batter. A little garlic powder, paprika, or even some chopped chives can take your tortillas to the next level. Stay tuned for more flavor-boosting ideas in the Tips for Variations section later in this post!

How do I keep the tortillas from sticking to the skillet?

A well-heated skillet and a bit of butter or tallow are your best friends here. Make sure your skillet is hot enough before you pour the batter. If you’re using a non-stick pan, you might not need any extra fat, but a little never hurts for that golden-brown perfection.

Why does my tortilla look more like scrambled eggs?

Oops! Sounds like the batter might not have been mixed well enough. When you add the gelatin powder, whisk constantly and thoroughly to ensure it’s fully integrated. Remember, constant whisking is your friend. If all else fails, embrace the deliciousness of your scrambled creation!

Can I eat these tortillas for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?

Of course! These versatile beauties are perfect for any meal. Breakfast burritos, lunch wraps, dinner tacos—heck, you can even use them as a midnight snack while binge-watching your favorite show.

Is it normal to feel an overwhelming sense of pride after making this tortilla?

Totally normal! You’ve just created a culinary masterpiece. Go ahead and give yourself a pat on the back (or another tortilla).

Can I use this tortilla as my daughter’s Barbie’s yoga mat?

While this tortilla is impressively thin and pliable, Barbie might prefer something a bit less… cheesy. Plus, she might get distracted trying to do downward dog with the delicious aroma wafting up from her mat. Best to keep the tortillas for your tacos and get Barbie a proper yoga mat.

Step-by-Step Instructions on How to Make This Easy Carnivore Tortilla

Grab a small bowl and crack in one egg.

Now, add 1/3 cup (80 ml) of finely grated mozzarella or other neutral-tasting cheese.

Mix with a fork until well combined. Imagine you’re creating a cheesy symphony—every whisk is a note of deliciousness.

Time to sprinkle in the secret ingredient: 1 teaspoon of gelatin powder. While adding it, whisk like you’re trying to impress a very picky food critic.

Keep whisking until everything is as smooth as a well-rehearsed dance routine. No lumps allowed!

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. If you’re using a cast-iron skillet, add a little bit of butter or tallow. This is the stage for your tortilla’s grand performance.

Pour the batter into the skillet.

Give the skillet a gentle shake to help the batter spread evenly. It’s like coaxing a shy snail out of its shell—be gentle but persuasive.

Cover the skillet with a lid and let the magic happen. Cook until the top is set and no longer wet.

Time for the big flip! Uncover the skillet and flip the tortilla with the confidence of a seasoned chef. If you nail the flip, feel free to give yourself a round of applause.

Cook, uncovered, until completely done and golden brown.

Remove the tortilla from the skillet and let it cool until warm.

Now comes the fun part—fill it with your favorite fillings. Whether it’s a mountain of meat or a hefty pile of savory carnivore cheesecake, this tortilla is ready to wrap up all your culinary dreams.

Enjoy your culinary adventure, and may your tortillas always be thin, pliable, and perfectly round!

How I Came Up with This Easy Carnivore Recipe

Once upon a time, in a kitchen not so far away, I found myself daydreaming about a carnivore tortilla that could rival the best of them. You see, I had once crafted a successful carnivore tortilla using egg whites for my blog post about Carnivore Egg Salad. It was a masterpiece—thin, pliable, and utterly delicious. But alas, in a cruel twist of fate, I couldn’t find any notes on how I made it! It was as if the tortilla gods had erased my memory.

Determined to recreate this elusive tortilla, I donned my apron and embarked on a culinary quest. With an unyielding spirit and a pantry full of possibilities, I began my experiments. The kitchen quickly became a battlefield of failed tortillas—one after another, they crumbled, burned, or turned into something resembling a failed science experiment. I even have a photo of one particularly disastrous attempt that looked more like a tortilla’s distant cousin than the real deal.

But I refused to be defeated. With each failure, I learned something new. My kitchen became a tortilla boot camp where only the strongest would survive. I tried different combinations, but they were usually too thick or didn’t hold together well. It was a rollercoaster of culinary emotions.

Then, in a moment of sheer culinary brilliance (or perhaps desperation), I decided to add finely grated cheese to the mix. It was as if a light bulb went off in my head. The cheese melted harmoniously into the batter, creating a mixture that was smooth and promising.

I poured the batter into the skillet, gave it a gentle shake, and held my breath. The tortilla cooked beautifully, flipping with ease and turning a perfect golden brown. I had done it! The perfect Carnivore Tortilla was born, and it was even better than the one I had lost to the sands of time.

So, dear reader, after countless failed experiments and a few kitchen disasters, I present to you the ultimate Carnivore Tortilla recipe. Thin, pliable, and perfectly golden brown—it’s everything I dreamed of and more.

Here’s the recipe for you to enjoy:

General Prattling

This week went as usual until Thursday evening. I was busy packing orders and products for my online store, communicating with many customers, creating social media and blog content, and further developing my revolutionary jerky product.

However, on Thursday evening, I experienced some moments of horror when my 13-year-old son rushed in the door, covered in blood and shaking. He had been biking and had an accident.

His knees were bleeding, as were both his hands and arms from several places. He also had a bleeding bruise on his chin and a wound on his shoulder where his shirt was torn. Fortunately, he always wears a helmet, so his head was protected.

He mumbled that he was tired and lay down on the floor. Although it seemed he didn’t have any broken bones and was fully conscious, just in shock, I decided to call the emergency number. They said they would send paramedics to examine him.

It took 25 minutes for the paramedics to arrive. While we waited, I cleaned my son’s wounds. The paramedics examined him thoroughly and cleaned the wounds a bit more to assess their depth.

We were really lucky: no bones were broken, no concussion or other head injuries (except the chin), none of the wounds needed stitches, only some glue and bandages. My son didn’t have to go to the hospital, which was a huge relief.

My son said he was riding downhill at 21.75 mph (35 km/h) when he lost control of the bike because of the gravel on the road.

Just think of it: falling at that speed and ending up without serious injuries! It really is damn good luck!
