Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cassava flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cassava flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the warm water and olive oil.
Stir the mixture with a spoon until it begins to come together, then use your hands to knead the dough within the bowl until smooth and pliable.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each piece into a ball. Cover the dough balls with a clean towel to prevent drying.
Heat a large skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat.
On a lightly floured surface (using cassava or coconut flour), roll out each ball of dough into a thin round tortilla, approximately 6 inches in diameter.
Place the rolled-out tortilla onto the hot skillet and cook for about 2 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the underside has golden spots.
Flip the tortilla and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining dough balls. Keep the cooked tortillas warm and covered with a clean towel until ready to serve.
Enjoy your low-carb cassava tortillas with your favorite fillings or as a delicious accompaniment to any meal.
