Ingredients

• 2 medium Beets
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the beets in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.

Step 2

Roast the beets in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until tender. Allow them to cool slightly, then peel and grate them. You should have approximately 1 cup of grated beets.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.

Step 4

Add the grated beets and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix well to combine, ensuring the beets are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Gradually add the water while mixing until a soft dough forms. You may need to adjust the amount of water slightly depending on the moisture content of the beets.

Step 6

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 7

Divide the rested dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.

Step 8

Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a thin, round tortilla on a floured surface. Aim for a thickness of about 1/8 inch.

Step 9

Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Place a tortilla in the hot pan and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, until lightly browned and slightly puffed.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, keeping the cooked tortillas warm under a towel.

Step 11

Serve the beet tortillas fresh as a base for wraps, tacos, or as a side to any meal.
