Description
These Two Ingredient Sweet Potato Tortillas are a simple, gluten-free alternative to traditional tortillas, made with mashed sweet potato and cassava flour. Soft and slightly sweet, these tortillas are perfect for wraps, tacos, or enjoyed on their own.
Ingredients
Sweet Potato Mixture
- 2 cups sweet potato, mashed (about 1 large or 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed)
- 1 cup cassava flour
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Sweet Potato: Peel and cut sweet potatoes into cubes. Steam the cubes in a saucepan with about 1 inch of water until they are fully soft and tender, approximately 15-20 minutes. Drain any remaining water and mash the sweet potatoes thoroughly until smooth.
- Make Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato with cassava flour and optional sea salt. Stir together until you form a smooth, pliable dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more cassava flour; if it’s too dry, add a small amount of water or more mashed sweet potato.
- Divide and Roll: Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Lightly dust a clean flat surface with cassava flour and roll each piece out into a thin tortilla shape about 1/4 inch thick. Use your hands or a rolling pin for this process.
- Cook Tortillas: Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly drizzle with olive oil. Cook each tortilla for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they develop a golden brown color and are cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.
Notes
- Steaming the sweet potato preserves its moisture and natural sweetness, contributing to a soft tortilla texture.
- Using cassava flour keeps this recipe naturally gluten-free and grain-free.
- Adjust the thickness of the tortillas as per your preference; thinner tortillas will be crispier while thicker ones will be softer.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat on a skillet for best results.
- Optional: Add spices like cumin or chili powder to the dough for extra flavor.
