Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cassava flour
- 0.75 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine cassava flour and salt, whisking them together to distribute the salt evenly.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients.
Using a spatula or your hands, mix until a dough forms. The dough should be smooth and pliable but not sticky. If it’s too dry, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time.
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each part into a ball.
Place one dough ball between two pieces of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to flatten it into a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Heat a non-stick skillet or a griddle over medium-high heat.
Once the skillet is hot, carefully peel off the top layer of parchment paper from one tortilla and place it in the skillet, dough side down. Remove the second piece of parchment paper.
Cook the tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until it starts to puff up and has golden brown spots.
Transfer the cooked tortilla to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Serve the cassava tortillas warm with your choice of fillings and enjoy!
