Ingredients
- 2 cups Cassava flour
- 1 tablespoon Tapioca starch
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cassava flour, tapioca starch, and baking powder until well combined.
Step 2
Add the olive oil to the flour mixture and mix until it resembles a crumbly texture.
Step 3
Gradually add water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously, until a smooth and elastic dough forms. You may not need all the water, so add it slowly to ensure the dough is not too sticky.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
Step 5
On a lightly floured surface, gently flatten a dough ball and roll it out into a thin circle, approximately 6 inches in diameter. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Step 6
Heat a large non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Place the rolled-out tortilla onto the hot pan. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface.
Step 8
Flip the tortilla and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until cooked through and slightly golden.
Step 9
Transfer the cooked tortilla to a clean kitchen towel and cover to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Step 10
Serve warm with your choice of fillings or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
