Whether you follow a plant-based, low carb, or paleo diet, you may have tried to find a healthier alternative to tortillas and flatbreads. Coconut wraps are made with simple organic ingredients like coconut meat, extra virgin coconut oil, and coconut water.

How To Make Coconut Wraps
You can make coconut wraps at home with fresh coconut meat. Start by removing the coconut meat from fresh young coconuts. Make sure to reserve the coconut water.
Scoop the coconut meat into a food processor or blender. Blend on high for 30-60 seconds. Add 2-3 tablespoons of coconut water and blend until combined and a coconut paste forms.
Next, spread the coconut mixture onto a dehydrator sheet. Make sure not to spread the mixture too thinly or the coconut wraps will have holes.
Dehydrate the coconut wraps at 105 degrees f for 6-8 hours.
Store in an air-tight plastic bag to keep the wraps fresh and in a pliable state.
How To Use Coconut Wraps
