With just two ingredients, you can make these delicious zero-carb egg white wraps to replace tortillas in any of your favorite recipes!
Tortillas are perfect for holding all sorts of delicious food together, but with 30 grams of carbs or more per wrap, they just don’t fit into a low-carb diet. These egg white wraps look just like real tortillas but without any of the carbs! They’re an Egglife wrap copycat, just more economical because they are cheaper to make than the store bought wraps.
With only two ingredients and zero carbs, this recipe is a budget-friendly way to replace tortillas, wraps, or noodles. Plus, you can make them as big as you want, depending on the size of your skillet. I use a medium-sized, 8-inch skillet, but you can use a 10-inch skillet for burrito-sized wraps or a small 6-inch skillet for small wraps that would be perfect for tacos or small quesadillas.
Use these wraps to make enchiladas, sandwich wraps, or even noodles in lasagna. If you’re sticking to breakfast, make a breakfast taco by adding more eggs, bacon, and cheese as a filling.
What makes this recipe different?
- Other recipes for egg wraps use almond flour to add thickness and stability. Almond flour adds extra carbs to the recipe.
- Some people are sensitive to xanthan gum and get stomach upset, gas, or bloating from it. If that’s you, use protein powder instead to keep this egg white wrap recipe zero carbs, nut-free, and xanthan gum free.
- Unlike the Egglife Egg White Wraps, making your own wraps is less expensive.
A tip from a KetoFocus fan
“Excellent recipe! Just a quick note if u add some aromatic spices you won’t get the eggie smell or taste. I use garlic & onion powders, oregano and a very tiny amount of citric acid. It’ll keep it longer in the fridge.”

How to make egg white wraps
- Mix egg whites and protein powder or xanthan gum in a blender until foamy.
- Pour ⅓ cup of the mixture into a non-stick skillet. Swirl the pan to coat an even layer around the bottom of the skillet
- Cook the egg wrap for 1-2 minutes each side.
- Remove the wrap from the skillet and repeat two more times with the remaining egg mixture.
Key ingredients & substitutions
- Egg whites – You can use liquid egg whites or remove the yolks yourself. If using eggs, save the yolks to add to scrambled eggs or some homemade mayonnaise to go in your wrap.
- Protein powder – Any unsweetened, unflavored low-carb protein powder will work. This protein powder is zero carbs.
- Xanthan gum – In this egg white wrap recipe, either protein powder or xanthan gum can be used as a thickener and for stability. Using xanthan gum is a more affordable option.

Can I use a whole egg?
Yes you can use a whole egg to make an egg wrap. To get the same volume as a cup of egg whites, you’ll need to use four whole eggs.
Can I salt the egg wrap?
Yes, sprinkle salt on the egg once it’s in the skillet cooking. This will prevent any excessive moisture release from the egg white.
Are egg white wraps healthy?
Egg white wraps are a great tortilla alternative. They're gluten-free, high in protein, and low in carbs and fat.
Do egg wraps taste eggy?
Egg wraps do taste like an egg. Try adding a small amount of cream cheese to neutralize the egg flavor.
These are great wraps. I even put cream cheese on them with cinnamon and sugar(Alulose), rolled them up, air fried them to make mini cinnamon rolls. A real treat! Unlimited ways to use these...
Wow! I had to give this a try. I don't have the processed liquid egg whites, but I have plenty of whole eggs. I found that two egg whites and 1 tablespoon of unflavored protein powder works well. The "tortillas" were substantial enough to be handled without tearing and they had the right chewiness in the mouth. I made two tortillas for chicken flautas and they were delicious. Thank you for this genius recipe. I have type 2 diabetes and these are an excellent alternative to flour tortillas.
Thank you for sharing - can't wait to try!
Could you use beef gelatin instead of the xanthan gum? X
I haven’t tried that so I’m not sure how well it works. If you try it, let me know!
Have you ever added any spices or flavoring into the mixture before you make the wraps? Like the egg life wraps they have the Italian and the southwest and cinnamon . If so, just wondering what the ratio of flavor would be and if it changes the cooking!
I haven't thought about doing that, but now I'm curious. Sounds good!
Oops! Forgot to leave a review! Excellent recipe!!
These turned out perfect! I like how they are flexible and you can make sandwich wraps with them without them tearing. My husband enjoyed his turkey, bacon wrap!
Thanks for the recipe. Why do you state these are healthy because they are high in protein and low in fat. Doesn't that contradict the entire point of keto?
Many people eat low carb or keto for different reasons. When you become fat adapted, you don't always need high dietary fat since you may want to burn body fat.
Can you use egg white protein powder in place of the egg whites?
I haven't tried this. Maybe if you add liquid to make egg whites from the egg white powder.
Once the wraps are made can they be baked in the oven to make tortilla chips like the Egglife wraps?
I haven't tried that yet. I didn't even know you could do that with the Egglife wraps. I'll have to try it! I did use them to make enchiladas which I did bake in the oven.
