Ingredients

• 2¼ cups cassava flour
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 6 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 to 2 cups water

Directions

• Combine flour, salt, and olive oil in mixing bowl.
• Add 1½ cups water.
• Mix until evenly distributed, and oil and water are absorbed.
• Knead, adding enough additional water for the dough to hold together without crumbling. Make sure the water is being worked to the inside of the dough mass.
• Take a small portion of the dough, roughly egg-sized, and place it between 2 sheets of parchment paper.
• With a rolling pin on the top layer of parchment paper, roll out the tortilla to about an ⅛ thick and a diameter that will fit inside your 10 or larger cast iron skillet (mentioned below).
• As youre rolling out, smooth out any ridges that appear along the edges.
• Remove the top layer of parchment paper. The tortilla may stick, so roll back gently to prevent tearing.
• Heat a dry 10 or larger cast-iron skillet to medium-low heat.
• Transfer tortilla from the bottom layer of parchment paper into the middle of the skillet. I lay the tortilla facedown on the palm of my dominant hand, then to prevent tearing, carefully peel back the parchment paper, starting from the thickest edge of the tortilla.
• Once tortilla is in the skillet, watch for the edges of the tortilla to curl up, and bubbles to form in the dough. Then its ready to be flipped!
• Once you see bubbles and the underside is browned, flip the tortilla.
• After the second side is lightly browned, remove tortilla from skillet. Undercook rather than overcook -- this is the key to soft tortillas.
• Place inside towel or container to keep warm.
• Repeat for all tortillas, adjusting the heat up or down as necessary so they dont get overcooked or burned.
• While still warm, put the stack of tortillas, sandwiched between 2 layers of parchment paper, inside a zipper-seal bag. This helps to keep them soft.
• Serve with taco meat and toppings, or any other fillings your heart desires. 🙂 Enjoy!
• Refrigerate leftovers. When chilled completely, any that are overcooked may become hard or brittle, but they are easily softened up by heating them in a dry skillet.
• Enjoy!
