INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 ½ cups grated zucchini
  • Half a cup of oat fiber
  • Quarter cup egg whites
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • Non-stick cooking spray
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder

INGREDIENT NOTES:

ZUCCHINI:

  • These are the core products for this recipe, which make soft tortillas. Zucchini also does not include a lot of calories in your diet plan. Vitamins and fiber are also added to the tortillas with the use of zucchini. An alternative for this can be yellow squash.

OAT FIBER:

  • The basic shape of the tortillas forms due to the use of oat fiber, which also helps in soaking up the liquid content from the zucchini. This product is a good choice for Weight Watchers recipes as it does not include many carbs or calories. Almond flour for these tortillas can work, but note the rise in WW points and caloric count.

EGG WHITE:

  • This component will not include any amount of extra fat and will help in combining the batter of the tortilla while including protein as well. The consistency of the tortillas remains lighter. Rather than just egg whites, you can try the use of a full egg as an alternative, but note the increase in WW points and your caloric count.

SALT:

  • Salt can easily maintain the extra taste of other ingredients in the tortilla and can make the overall flavor of the recipe better. Lower the use of salt in this recipe if you like.

GARLIC POWDER:

  • Garlic powder will improve the taste of the recipe and will include a light flavor as well. You can try using onion powder as an alternative to garlic powder.

NON-STICK COOKING SPRAY:

  • Since we are not utilizing oil in this recipe, we will be using non-stick cooking spray so that the tortillas do not stick to the pan and can cook easily with no issue. The fat content in the overall recipe also remains low with its use. For an alternative, you can use a tiny amount of olive oil, but it will definitely include more points in your WW plan.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. After you grate the zucchini using a box grater, place it in a kitchen towel.
  2. Exclude all the extra water from it by properly pressing it.
  3. Then take a bowl and include zucchini in it.
  4. After that, include garlic powder, salt, egg whites, and oat fiber as well.
  5. Combine all the ingredients properly to create a thick mixture.
  6. Take the non-stick spray and cover the pan by spraying some on it.
  7. Warm it up on a medium flame.
  8. Take some of the zucchini mix and put it in the pan in a thin layer.
  9. Cooking time for each tortilla is only 3 minutes for every side.
  10. Keep cooking the other tortillas as well until your mix finishes.
  11. Enjoy your warm and tasty tortillas.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
