Description
These Vegan Sweet Potato Tortillas are a simple, oil-free alternative to traditional tortillas made with just two ingredients: mashed sweet potato and all-purpose flour. Soft, flexible, and naturally sweet, they’re perfect for wraps, tacos, or as a side to your favorite dishes. Ready in just 15 minutes, these tortillas are gluten-friendly with a vegan twist and require no baking or frying, cooked simply on a stovetop pan.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 150 g sweet potato, mashed (about 3/4 cup)
- 130 g all-purpose flour (about 1 cup), plus extra for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato and all-purpose flour. Mix well until fully combined, then use your hands to form a dough ball. The dough should not be too sticky; if it is, sprinkle in a little more flour to achieve the right consistency.
- Divide and roll out: Separate the dough into 5 equal portions. Lightly dust your working surface with flour, then roll out each portion into a tortilla about 1/2 cm thick. Avoid rolling them too thin to ensure softness and flexibility.
- Cook the tortillas: Heat a dry pan over medium-high heat. Place each rolled tortilla onto the hot pan and cook for about 1 minute on each side, until lightly cooked and with slight browning spots. Stack the cooked tortillas on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and flexible as you cook the rest.
Notes
- Use a hot pan to ensure quick cooking and to achieve a soft texture.
- Do not make the tortillas too thin; thicker tortillas remain softer and more flexible.
- The tortillas are oil-free, making them a healthy option for various diets.
- If the dough feels sticky, add a little more flour gradually to prevent sticking.
- These tortillas can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and warmed before serving.
