These soft, bendable paleo cassava flour tortillas are homemade, gluten-free, and perfect for wraps, tacos, or roll-ups. They offer a tender yet sturdy bite with a subtle sweetness and are quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups cassava flour (about 180 grams)
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
  • ¾ cup warm water (180 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups cassava flour and ½ teaspoon sea salt until evenly combined.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Stir in 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil and 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (if using). Slowly pour in ¾ cup warm water, mixing with a spoon until the dough starts to come together.
  3. Knead the dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface (use cassava flour). Knead gently for about 2 minutes until smooth and slightly soft. If dough feels too sticky, add a little more cassava flour, but don’t overdo it or tortillas will be dry.
  4. Rest the dough: Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 10 minutes to hydrate and improve flexibility.
  5. Divide and roll: Divide dough into 6 equal balls (about 50 grams or 1.75 ounces each). Lightly dust your work surface and rolling pin with cassava flour. Roll each ball into a thin, round tortilla, about 6-7 inches (15-18 cm) in diameter.
  6. Cook tortillas: Heat a dry non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the pan and cook for about 45 seconds to 1 minute until edges lift and light brown spots appear. Flip and cook the other side for another 30-45 seconds. The tortilla should puff slightly but remain soft and flexible.
  7. Keep warm: Stack cooked tortillas on a plate and cover with a towel or parchment paper to retain moisture. Repeat with remaining dough balls.
  8. Serve or store: Serve immediately or store wrapped in foil or an airtight container once cooled.

Notes

If a tortilla cracks during rolling, pinch the dough back together as cassava flour is forgiving. Use medium heat to avoid drying out or burning the tortillas. Resting the dough improves elasticity and softness. Dust rolling surface sparingly with cassava flour to prevent drying the dough.
