PURPLE SWEET POTATO WRAPS
Serves: 6 wraps/tortillas
Prep time: 20 mins
Ingredients:
✨1 cup mashed cooked sweet potato (purple or regular)
✨½ cup cassava flour
✨1 Tbsp melted grass fed butter, ghee, or coconut oil
✨¼ tsp sea salt
Steps:
1️⃣ Cook sweet potatoes: Bake at 400F for 40-60 mins or boil until tender (save a bit of the cooking liquid for later steps in that case).
2️⃣ Mash: Use an electric mixer, fine mesh strainer, or potato ricer for smoothness.
3️⃣ Mix: Combine all ingredients, then knead until smooth. If the dough feels too dry, add a splash of water (use reserved cooking water if boiled). Dough should be hydrated but not sticky, add more flour if needed.
4️⃣ Divide: Roll dough into 6 balls.
5️⃣ Heat skillet: on medium heat, non-toxic nonstick or a well seasoned cast iron works best. Grease with coconut oil if needed.
6️⃣ Roll: Between parchment paper to about 1/8-inch thickness. Remove one paper, transfer tortilla to warm pan, dough side down. Cook for 1 minute. Remove second paper, carefully flip and cook for another minute. Repeat with remaining dough.
NOTE: Recipe works with purple or orange sweet potatoes. We haven’t tried with white Japanese sweet potatoes. Let us know if you do!
