Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Beets
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the beets in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Roast the beets in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until tender. Allow them to cool slightly, then peel and grate them. You should have approximately 1 cup of grated beets.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
Add the grated beets and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix well to combine, ensuring the beets are evenly distributed.
Gradually add the water while mixing until a soft dough forms. You may need to adjust the amount of water slightly depending on the moisture content of the beets.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Divide the rested dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a thin, round tortilla on a floured surface. Aim for a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Place a tortilla in the hot pan and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, until lightly browned and slightly puffed.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, keeping the cooked tortillas warm under a towel.
Serve the beet tortillas fresh as a base for wraps, tacos, or as a side to any meal.
