Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cassava flour
- 1 cup Protein powder (unflavored or plant-based)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cassava flour, protein powder, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to form a dough.
Once the dough starts to come together, add the olive oil and knead the dough with your hands until smooth. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Use a rolling pin to flatten each ball between two pieces of parchment paper into a thin, round tortilla, about 7-8 inches in diameter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place one tortilla on the skillet without any parchment paper.
Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until brown spots start to appear and the tortilla is cooked through.
Remove the cooked tortilla from the skillet and keep it warm by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel.
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining dough portions.
Serve your high protein cassava tortillas warm with your favorite fillings or toppings.
