Ingredients

• 2 cups Cassava flour
• 1 cup Protein powder (unflavored or plant-based)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1.5 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cassava flour, protein powder, salt, and baking powder.

Step 2

Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to form a dough.

Step 3

Once the dough starts to come together, add the olive oil and knead the dough with your hands until smooth. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

Step 5

Use a rolling pin to flatten each ball between two pieces of parchment paper into a thin, round tortilla, about 7-8 inches in diameter.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place one tortilla on the skillet without any parchment paper.

Step 7

Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until brown spots start to appear and the tortilla is cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the cooked tortilla from the skillet and keep it warm by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel.

Step 9

Repeat the cooking process with the remaining dough portions.

Step 10

Serve your high protein cassava tortillas warm with your favorite fillings or toppings.
