Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup (120 g) Cassava flour
- ⅓ tsp sea salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ cup (100 ml) warm water
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cassava flour and sea salt to ensure an even distribution of salt throughout the flour.
- Add Wet Ingredients and Knead: Pour in the olive oil and warm water. Begin mixing with a spoon, then use your hands to knead the mixture until a soft dough forms that holds together but isn’t sticky.
- Divide Dough: Separate the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a dough ball to prepare for rolling out into tortillas.
- Roll Out Tortillas: Using a rolling pin, roll each dough ball thinly between two sheets of parchment paper, or alternatively, use a tortilla press for even thickness.
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot enough to cook the tortillas effectively.
- Cook Tortillas: Place a rolled tortilla onto the hot skillet. Cook for approximately 1 minute until air bubbles begin to form, then flip and cook the other side for another minute.
- Keep Warm and Soft: Remove the cooked tortilla and place it on a plate. Cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm and prevent drying out while you cook the remaining tortillas.
Notes
- Keep the dough covered or wrapped when not in use to prevent it from drying out.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more cassava flour sparingly.
- These tortillas can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently on a dry skillet and cover to keep them soft.
- Cassava flour is naturally gluten-free but double-check packaging to ensure no cross-contamination for strict gluten-free diets.
