How To Make Sweet Potato Tortillas

To start, sweet potatoes are boiled until they are tender and soft in the center. Combine the mashed sweet potatoes with all-purpose flour and knead them into a smooth dough. Next, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces, then roll out with a rolling pin on a floured surface. The tortillas are cooked on a non-stick pan over medium heat for about 1 minute on each side, or until they turn golden brown. Dish out and serve immediately.

Cooking Tips

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.
