Cassava Tortillas

Rainbow Cassava Tortillas
6-8 tortillas

Ingredients:

for the tortillas:
1 cup cassava flour
3 Tbsp coconut oil (melted)
1/4 tsp Himalayan pink salt
1/3 cup cold water (plus a bit extra if needed)

for the color:
1 Tbsp beet juice powder for pink
1 Tbsp matcha powder for green
1 tsp turmeric powder for yellow
1 Tbsp pea flower tea powder for blue

Directions:

Make the dough by combining all ingredients except for the ‘coloring’ components. When a soft dough forms, divide your dough into four balls. Add the various colors to dye the tortilla batter.

Heat skillet over medium heat. Roll dyed dough into smaller balls, about 1-2 tablespoons each, and place between plastic wrap, then using a rolling pin to roll into a round shape. Place on hot skillet for about 1-2 minutes per side.

When tortillas are finished cooking, place inside folded kitchen towel to keep warm until serving.
