3-Ingredient Plantain Tortillas
Report
Amazing, 3-ingredient plantain tortillas! A delicious and simple grain-free option for Mexican-inspired dishes and more. Entirely vegan and both gluten- and grain-free.

Ingredients
- 2 large green (unripe) plantains
- 1 tsp sea salt
- ~1/4 cup tapioca starch for rolling out (or sub gluten-free flour or arrowroot starch with varied results)
- coconut oil or avocado oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Slice plantains into 4 sections, and then halve those sections lengthwise (top to bottom // see photo).
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and add plantains. Boil for 15 minutes to tenderize the plantains. Then drain and let cool slightly.
- Peel plantains and discard the peel. Then add the plantain and salt to a blender or a food processor. Blend until a ball forms (~30 seconds) - it will be sticky (this is normal).
- Dust a clean surface with tapioca and take small (~3 Tbsp) amounts of the dough and dust with tapioca. Dust a rolling pin with tapioca and roll out until almost paper thin (see photo). The dough is sticky so add more tapioca as needed. Repeat until all tortillas are formed (~10-12 as original recipe is written).
- Optional: you can use a knife or pizza cutter to make the edges a perfect circle, but this is optional!
- To cook, heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with coconut or avocado oil. Once hot, add one to two tortillas at a time (or however many fit comfortably in the pan) and cook until dried out and slightly browned on either side (~ 3 min per side). Continue until all tortillas are cooked (no need to continue adding more oil). See notes for baking instructions.
- Enjoy immediately as a vessel for things like Vegan Barbacoa, Quinoa Taco Meat, Guacamole, and more!
- Store cooled leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 3-4 days (though best when fresh), or in the freezer up to 1 month. If frozen, thaw before use. Heat in a 350 degree F (176 C) oven, or on the stovetop.
Notes
- *If baking, bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 375 degrees F (190C) for 10-15 minutes or until dried out and slightly crisp on the edges, flipping once to ensure even baking. I also think if baked until very crispy, they would make a delicious tostada. Or, if sliced first and then baked, they would make a delicious chip (as long as they are rolled thin enough)! Alternatively, you can make plantain chips this way!*Nutrition information is a rough estimate.*Recipe heavily adapted from the talented DoYouEvenPaleo.
