Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup beet puree
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Begin by preparing the beet puree. Take 2 medium-sized beets, peel and chop them, then steam until tender. Blend the steamed beets until smooth, making sure there are no chunks. You’ll need about 1 cup of puree.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to distribute the baking powder and salt evenly throughout the flour.
Add the beet puree and olive oil to the dry ingredients, then gradually add in the water, mixing continuously until a soft dough forms. You might not need the entire 0.5 cup of water, so add it slowly.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then cover them with a damp cloth and let them rest for 10 minutes.
Once rested, roll out each dough ball into thin circles, about 8 inches in diameter, using a rolling pin on a floured surface.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla into the skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until bubbles form and brown spots appear.
Remove the cooked tortilla from the skillet and place it on a plate covered with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Serve the tortillas warm or allow them to cool. Store extras in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy as wraps or a side to your favorite meals.
