Servings: 12 5-inch tortillas 1x
Ingredients
- 1½ cups cassava flour
- ½ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. garlic powder
- ¼ cup avocado oil or olive oil
- ¾ cup warm water, divided
Instructions
- Place dry ingredients (cassava flour, garlic powder, and salt) in a bowl. Whisk to combine.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients using the back of a large spoon. Add oil and ½ cup warm water. Stir until a dough forms.
- Add more water, a little at a time, if the dough appears to be dry. The dough should be firm and springy and smooth to the touch – not sticky, dry or crumbly on the surface.
- When the dough is the right texture, cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and allow the dough to rest for 5 minutes.
- Divide dough into 12 equal portions (for taco-size) or 6 portions (for burrito-size) depending on how large or small you want them to be.
- Use a tortilla press or rolling pin with dough between two sheets of parchment paper to flatten tortillas to less than ⅛-inch thick circles. If making larger, burrito-size tortillas you’ll need to roll them out with a rolling pin rather than a tortilla press.
- Cook tortillas in a hot, dry skillet for 1 minute on each side until the dough starts to puff slightly, appears dry to the touch and has light brown spots on the surface.
- Transfer tortillas to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and pliable. Serve and enjoy!
