Paleo Cassava Flour Tortillas
Description
This recipe combines cassava flour, a gluten-free flour made from the cassava root, with salt and garlic powder to season the dough subtly. Olive oil and warm water bring the dough together, which is kneaded until uniform and then divided into small balls. Rolling each ball very thin ensures a flexible tortilla that cooks quickly without drying out.
Cooking on a dry skillet at medium-high heat causes small bubbles to appear, signaling the tortillas are ready to flip. This results in warm tortillas that are soft and elastic enough to fold without cracking, making them practical for holding various fillings. Garlic powder adds a gentle savory note, enhancing the simple flavor without overpowering.
The tortillas are best served warm alongside your favorite taco or wrap fillings. They offer a grain-free pancake-like alternative for those avoiding wheat or corn. The recipe can be adjusted by adding more water if the dough feels too dry, and different cassava flour brands may produce slightly different results.
Using Otto's brand cassava flour is recommended in this recipe, as other brands have not been tested and may affect the dough consistency and final texture.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups cassava flour Otto's brand
- ½ tsp. salt
- ⅛ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¾ cup water plus more if needed, warm
Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk together cassava flour, salt, and garlic powder.
- Add oil and warm water. Knead dough until thoroughly mixed.
- Divide dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and place between two pieces of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll dough until it is ⅛-inch thick and has a diameter of 4 ½-5 inches. Or, place balls of dough into a tortilla press. Repeat with remaining balls of dough.
- Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for 1-2 minutes per side, or until it begins to bubble.
- Serve tortillas warm with your favorite taco ingredients and enjoy!
Notes
- Use Otto's cassava flour for best results; other brands may yield different dough textures.
- If the dough feels dry, add warm water gradually until the right consistency is reached.
- Cook tortillas on medium-high heat until small bubbles form, indicating doneness.
