Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup purple sweet potato cooked and mashed
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  • Cook the sweet potato until soft, either in the oven or in the microwave. Allow to cool before handling. 
  • Scoop out the flesh from the sweet potato and transfer to a bowl. Pour in the flour and salt, then mix until a dough is formed. This is sometimes easier with your hands.
  • Separate the dough into 4 to 6 equal balls, then on a floured surface, roll out the balls into six equal tortillas. They should be thin, around 1/2 cm.
  • Cook the tortillas in an oiled pan over medium heat on both sides, approximately 1 minute per, until cooked through. Store in a sealed container in the pantry for up to 3 days.
