Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cassava flour
- 0.75 cups Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cassava flour, salt, and baking powder, mixing well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Add water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until the mixture begins to come together into a dough.
Knead the dough gently with your hands until it is smooth and pliable, approximately 2-3 minutes. If the dough feels too dry, add a small amount of additional water, one teaspoon at a time.
Divide the dough into six equal portions and roll each into a ball.
Place one ball of dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out with a rolling pin into a circle about 6 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick. Repeat for the remaining dough balls.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, peel one tortilla off the parchment paper and place it in the skillet.
Cook the tortilla for 1-2 minutes on each side or until it begins to puff slightly and light brown spots appear. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
Remove the cooked tortilla from the skillet and cover it with a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm. Repeat the cooking process for the remaining tortillas.
Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite fillings.
