You’re going to love the chewy, gummy texture of these protein tortillas. Plus, they only require 2 ingredients and are super easy to make. With 7g of protein per serving, these tortillas truly can’t be beat 🙌 .
I can’t get enough of these protein tortillas! They’re so chewy and perfect for anything from fajitas to breakfast tacos. The only ingredients you need are:
- Skyr yogurt (or plain Greek yogurt)
- all-purpose flour
+ a little water and a pinch of salt
They’re super easy to roll out and then cook on the stovetop. The entire team devoured these every single time we tested them in the Fit Foodie kitchen.
top tips for these protein tortillas ⤵️
- Scale this recipe as you’d like! Because you’re rolling out your own tortillas, they can be any size. This recipe will make 8 6-inch tortillas. But you could also make 4 burrito-size tortillas, or 12 small street tacos.
- I’ve tested this recipe with plain Skyr yogurt as well as 2% and 5% plain Greek yogurt. Both work great! We also recently tested with blended cottage cheese and that worked too.
What is Skyr yogurt?
Skyr yogurt is Icelandic-style yogurt. It’s higher in protein and thicker than Greek yogurt because of the extensive straining process the yogurt goes through.
How much protein do these tortillas have?
7g per serving (2 6-inch tortillas)! Which means you’re adding 7g of protein to your meal in the tortillas alone 🫶🏻
Can I use cottage cheese instead?
I tested this recipe with blended cottage cheese instead of yogurt and they were delicious! Just swap them out 1:1 and make sure that your cottage cheese is very smooth.

Protein Tortilla Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup plain Skyr yogurt, or Greek yogurt*
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup water, + more as needed
Instructions
- Add the flour, yogurt, and salt to a large bowl. Using a silicone or wooden spoon stir until combined. Add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until a ball starts to form.
- Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and knead until smooth. You may need to sprinkle more flour if the dough is too sticky.
- Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball. Flour the work surface, and then roll out each tortilla into a circle using a rolling pin until paper thin. You may need more flour during this step. Repeat until all the tortillas are rolled out.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray.
- Place one tortilla in the skillet and cook until it starts to bubble about 1 minute. Spray the top with more cooking spray then flip and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Remove from the skillet and store in a folded cloth towel. Continue cooking the remaining tortillas.
Tips & Notes
- The amount of extra flour used on your work surface depends on how you measured your flour during step 1.
- This recipe yields 8 6-inch tortillas.
- Blended cottage cheese: I recently tested this recipe with blended cottage cheese and it was amazing. It kept the chewy texture, and the flavor was very similar.

So good and come together pretty quickly! I have celiac so I used GF 1:1 flour and added a T of flaxseed for a little more binding power. My family wanted all of my tortillas instead of store bought flour tortillas!
Mixing and rolling the dough was simple. They cooked up beautifully. The flavor is a little closer to a Naan, and the texture is a bit chewier than a traditional tortilla. Great option for boosting protein.
These are so quick and easy to make and are delicious! I used a mix of all purpose and whole wheat flours and I love the nuttiness it added. Definitely one to make again!
