Ingredients
- 1 cup Cassava flour
- 0.75 cups Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cassava flour, salt, and baking powder, mixing well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Step 2
Add water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until the mixture begins to come together into a dough.
Step 3
Knead the dough gently with your hands until it is smooth and pliable, approximately 2-3 minutes. If the dough feels too dry, add a small amount of additional water, one teaspoon at a time.
Step 4
Divide the dough into six equal portions and roll each into a ball.
Step 5
Place one ball of dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out with a rolling pin into a circle about 6 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick. Repeat for the remaining dough balls.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, peel one tortilla off the parchment paper and place it in the skillet.
Step 7
Cook the tortilla for 1-2 minutes on each side or until it begins to puff slightly and light brown spots appear. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
Step 8
Remove the cooked tortilla from the skillet and cover it with a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm. Repeat the cooking process for the remaining tortillas.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite fillings.
