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 it for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender and soft in the center. To check, poke the center of the sweet potato with a fork to make sure it is fully cooked.
  • Once the sweet potato is cooked, drain and let it cool down for a few minutes or until it's easy to handle. Peel and mash the sweet potato in a bowl with all-purpose flour. Combine and knead the mixture until a smooth dough forms.
  • Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and round them into balls. Dust the working surface with flour and roll it out with a rolling pin (each should be about 2 mm (2/25 inch) thick).
  • Place a piece of 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 same process until all the tortillas are cooked.

Notes

Recipe Source: So Yummy
Tips: 
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Use a non-stick pan when cooking the sweet potato tortillas to prevent them from sticking to the surface.
