Cassava flour tortillas are gluten-free, grain-free, vegan and paleo.
Ingredients
1 cup
Cassava flour
1/4 tsp
Salt
1/4 tsp
Baking soda
1/2 tsp
Cream of tartar
2 tbsp
Ghee
((*you could also use avocado; olive oil or coconut oil))
2/3 cup
Water
(warm; (*see notes below))
Instructions
Add the first four dry ingredients to a large bowl and mix together.
Add the palm ghee and knead into the dry ingredients for a minute. The mixture will be dry and crumbly.
Add the warm water and knead together for 2-3 minutes. At first the dough will be sticky, but as the flour absorbs the water it will become dryer and more pliable.
When you have a mound of dough, roll it into a log shape in the bowl (like a tube of cookie dough). Then, slice it into 6 pieces. Take each piece and roll into a ball.
If you have a tortilla press, take each ball of dough, place it between two pieces of parchment paper and press into a flat tortilla. Without a tortilla press, take each ball of dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll out into an approximate 6-inch circle.
Heat a pan or flat griddle on medium-high heat. As the dry pan heats up, place one tortilla in the pan and cook for approximately one minute. Flip and cook the other side for an additional minute. Continue cooking all tortillas and transfer to a plate with a paper towel.
Eat immediately or freeze in batches for future use.
Notes:
This recipe makes 6 small tortillas, For larger tortillas slice dough into 3 pieces and form into 3 larger balls for rolling.
