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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can use either bread flour or all-purpose flour for this recipe. However, it’s important to note that bread flour has a higher protein content than all-purpose flour, which will make the dough more elastic and difficult to work with. The final texture may be chewier than the one made with all-purpose flour, but they all taste great.
To store sweet potato tortillas in the refrigerator, place them in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag and store them for up to 5 days. To reheat, microwave the tortillas for 10 seconds, or until warm.
If you’d like to keep the freshness a little longer, you may store them in the freezer. Wrap each of the tortillas with plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag, and keep them in the freezer for up to 3 months. To heat, thaw the frozen tortillas in the refrigerator the night before, and reheat them in the microwave for 10 seconds or on the stove.

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.

Can I freeze them when they’re done?
Yes, you can.
Could I steam the sweet potato instead of boiling it?
Yes you can. It just may take 1o-15 mins longer to steam.
Can you cook this in an air fryer?
I haven’t cook the sweet potato tortillas in an air fryer since it is quick and easy to cook with a pan.
In my opinions, air frying the tortillas may give you a different texture (dry and crispy) than using a pan.
Why not peel before boiling?
It is easier to peel after boiling and doesn’t require any tools. You may also peel the skin before boiling, it won’t change the texture of tortillas.
