Ingredients
- 1 (270 g) sweet potato
- 1 cup (130 g) all-purpose flour
Instructions
- In a saucepan, cover the sweet potato with water and bring it to a boil. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender and soft in the center. To check for doneness, poke the center of the sweet potato with a fork to ensure it is fully cooked.
- Once the sweet potato is cooked, drain and let it cool for a few minutes or until it’s easy to handle. Peel and mash the sweet potato in a bowl. Add the all-purpose flour and combine. Knead the mixture until a smooth dough forms.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape them into balls. Dust the work surface with flour and roll each ball out with a rolling pin until it is about 2 mm (1/16 inch) thick.
- Place a tortilla on a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook each side for about 1 minute or until golden brown. Transfer to a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas.

- Be sure to cook the sweet potato until it is fully tender and soft in the center. This helps to mash and incorporate the ingredients easier, which results in a smoother dough.
- Make sure the sweet potato has cooled down enough before mashing it. This will prevent the dough from becoming too sticky and difficult to handle.
- Use a non-stick pan when cooking the sweet potato tortillas to prevent them from sticking to the surface.
