Ingredients
- 2 cups Cassava flour
- 1 cup Protein powder (unflavored or plant-based)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cassava flour, protein powder, salt, and baking powder.
Step 2
Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to form a dough.
Step 3
Once the dough starts to come together, add the olive oil and knead the dough with your hands until smooth. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Step 5
Use a rolling pin to flatten each ball between two pieces of parchment paper into a thin, round tortilla, about 7-8 inches in diameter.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place one tortilla on the skillet without any parchment paper.
Step 7
Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until brown spots start to appear and the tortilla is cooked through.
Step 8
Remove the cooked tortilla from the skillet and keep it warm by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel.
Step 9
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining dough portions.
Step 10
Serve your high protein cassava tortillas warm with your favorite fillings or toppings.
