Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 medium sweet potato (about 1 cup mashed)
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for rolling
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potato: Peel and dice the sweet potato into chunks. Boil or steam until tender, then mash it thoroughly until smooth and without lumps.
  2. Make the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, flour, and salt. Mix well until a soft dough forms. If the dough is sticky, add more flour a tablespoon at a time until manageable but still soft.
  3. Shape the Tortillas: Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a thin circle about 6-7 inches in diameter.
  4. Cook the Tortillas: Heat a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side until brown spots appear and the tortilla is cooked through but still flexible.
  5. Serve: Stack the cooked tortillas wrapped in a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later use.

Notes

  • Use all-purpose or whole wheat flour depending on your preference.
  • Adjust flour amount if dough is too sticky or dry.
  • These tortillas can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • Reheat tortillas in a skillet or microwave wrapped in a damp towel to restore softness.
