Zucchini and Cheddar Tortillas

Zucchini, eggs, cheddar, and baking powder bake into flexible rounds that can be used for wraps, tacos, or quesadillas. Removing as much zucchini moisture as possible is the central technique: the source calls for squeezing, resting, and squeezing again.

Ingredients

  • 2 large zucchini, shredded
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Dry the zucchini

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat.
  2. Wrap the shredded zucchini in a sturdy dish towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
  3. Open the towel, let the zucchini rest for several minutes, then squeeze it again. It should be very dry before mixing.

Shape and bake

  1. Combine the dry zucchini with the eggs, cheddar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. For small tortillas, portion with a 1/4-cup measure. For large tortillas, use a 1/2-cup measure. Place each portion on the lined tray and pat it into a very thin circle.
  3. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until golden, firm, and 160°F (71°C) at the center.
  4. Cool slightly before peeling the rounds from the silicone mat.

Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
