Keto Tortillas
- 1 recipe keto tortillas I used 6 out of 8 tortillas.
Instructions
- Cut your fish filets into bite size pieces. In a small bowl, add the fish filets with the spices and marinate for a good 30 minutes.
- Chop and dice all of your vegetables that are going to be used for topping.
- For the taco sauce, mix all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. You can either spread the sauce onto the tortillas when ready, or you can add the sauce to a squirt bottle and drizzle it all over the tacos.
- Make the keto tortillas recipe.
- In a small bowl, add the 2 eggs and mix well. In a separate bowl, add the egg white powder and paprika. Mix together.Heat the frying oil in a small pot until it reaches a temperature of 140C/284F.
- Dip the fish fillet into the eggs and the coat entirely with the egg white powder. Once coated, add the fish into the hot oil. Fry for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Since it's fish, it shouldn't take too long to cook. Once the batter is golden brown, it should be ready.
- Take the fried fish out of the oil and repeat with the remaining fish pieces.
Assemble your taco
- Add your fried fish, vegetables onto the keto tortilla and drizzle the taco sauce all over. They are now ready to serve.Note: These are really yummy served cold as a wrap for lunch!

Make sure to follow the following tips to ensure you make the best keto fish tacos out there!
- You can’t air fry egg white powder or whey protein powder. Make sure to deep fry your fish the old-fashioned way.
- Don’t forget to coat your fish with eggs BEFORE coating it with egg white powder or else the egg white powder won’t stick.
- Use any type of white-fleshed fish you want. Tilapia, halibut, cod, mahi mahi, snapper are all good options. I used cod.
- Make sure to marinate your fish before coating it with egg white powder or else, it’ll turn out pretty bland!
- Make sure to use psyllium husk POWDER and not WHOLE HUSKS when making your keto tortillas.
- Use any type of vegetables you want for the filling.
- Pro tip: Double or triple the fish taco sauce. It’ll be worth it. Trust me.
