Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 pound), peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup warm water (more if needed)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Begin by boiling the cubed sweet potatoes in a pot of salted water until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.
  2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, mash the cooked sweet potatoes until smooth. Add the olive oil, salt, and baking powder, mixing well to combine.
  3. Step 3: Gradually add the flour to the sweet potato mixture, stirring until a dough begins to form. If the dough is too dry, add warm water a little at a time until it reaches a workable consistency.
  4. Step 4: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it gently for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth. Divide the dough into equal-sized balls (about the size of a golf ball).
  5. Step 5: Roll each ball into thin circles using a rolling pin, dusting with flour as necessary to prevent sticking. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned and cooked through.
  6. Step 6: Keep the cooked tortillas warm by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel while you finish cooking the remaining tortillas. Serve warm with your favorite fillings or toppings.

Notes

  • For optimal freshness, store leftover sweet potato tortillas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and reheat them in a skillet over low heat or in a microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel to retain moisture.
  • To elevate your sweet potato tortillas, try serving them with avocado slices, grilled vegetables, or your favorite protein, making them a versatile base for delicious wraps or tacos.
  • When preparing the dough, ensure you add warm water gradually; this will help you achieve the perfect pliable consistency without making it too sticky.
  • If you want extra flavor, consider adding spices like cumin or chili powder to the sweet potato mixture before forming the tortillas for a delightful twist.
