Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cassava flour
- 1 tablespoon Tapioca starch
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cassava flour, tapioca starch, and baking powder until well combined.
Add the olive oil to the flour mixture and mix until it resembles a crumbly texture.
Gradually add water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously, until a smooth and elastic dough forms. You may not need all the water, so add it slowly to ensure the dough is not too sticky.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
On a lightly floured surface, gently flatten a dough ball and roll it out into a thin circle, approximately 6 inches in diameter. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.
Place the rolled-out tortilla onto the hot pan. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface.
Flip the tortilla and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until cooked through and slightly golden.
Transfer the cooked tortilla to a clean kitchen towel and cover to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Serve warm with your choice of fillings or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
