Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cassava flour
- 1.5 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cassava flour and salt. Stir with a spatula to evenly distribute the salt throughout the flour.
Create a well in the middle of the flour mixture. Slowly pour in the water and avocado oil.
Using the spatula, mix until the dough begins to come together. It will look crumbly at first.
Once the dough has roughly formed, use your hands to knead the dough gently in the bowl, ensuring all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface (using cassava flour to avoid sticking) and knead for about 2 minutes until it is smooth and pliable.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Roll each piece into a ball.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
One at a time, flatten each dough ball into a disc using a rolling pin, aiming for a thin and even tortilla about 6-7 inches in diameter.
Place the rolled-out tortilla on the preheated skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until small brown spots appear and the tortilla is cooked through.
Transfer the cooked tortilla to a plate and cover it with a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm and pliable.
Repeat the rolling and cooking process with the remaining dough balls.
Serve warm as part of your favorite vegan wrap or taco filling.
