Sweet Potato Wraps/Tortillas (Gluten-free, Vegan)
These sweet potato wraps are pliable, don't rip, and have an amazing texture/flavor! They are made with only a few ingredients, less expensive than store-bought options, and are packed with much more of a nutritional punch! They work as a wrap, flatbread, or tortilla and are great for vegan, dairy-free, nut-free, grain-free, egg-free, and gluten-free diets.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups sweet potato puree/mash (NOT canned sweet potato puree) *I used white sweet potato. See directions
- 1/3 cup Tapioca flour *don't pack the flour. Spoon the flour into the measuring cup.
- 1/4 cup Coconut flour *don't pack the flour. Spoon the flour into the measuring cup.
- 1/2 tsp Sea salt
- optional spices: sprinkle of garlic powder, pepper, red pepper, etc. You could also do cinnamon for sweet wraps.
Instructions
- Prepare the sweet potato: Peel the sweet potato and cut it into smaller chunks. Add them to a large pot of boiling water (making sure the water covers all of the potatoes). Boil for 15 or so minutes until the potatoes are fork tender.
- Prepare the dough: Add the sweet potato mash, spices, and flour to a food processor. Process a minute or so until a uniform dough forms. NOTE: If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the dough together by hand or by using a potato masher.
- Shape the tortillas: Separate the dough into balls - however many tortillas/wraps you're wanting to make. You can make them smaller or a bit larger - up to you! Between two pieces of parchment paper, roll the dough out into a thin circle, about 1/4" thick. Keep in mind if your tortillas are thicker, they'll be a little softer (still delish!) If you don't have parchment paper, they will be a little harder to work with but wet your hands to shape them - this helps keep the dough from sticking to you!
- Note: I find it easiest to leave the rolled out wrap/tortilla on the parchment paper and use it to place tortilla side-down on the pan. Then gently peel the parchment paper off the top.
- Cook the wraps: Heat your pan over medium heat. Use a little avocado oil spray if you're worried about your tortillas sticking. Add the wraps to your pan (do 1-2 at a time, depending on the size of your pan). Cook 3ish minutes, then flip, cooking another 3ish minutes until they're cooked through and firm to your liking. Load them up and enjoy!
- NOTE: Depending on brands you use, the wraps could turn out softer on the inside. They're still delicious this way, but if you want something firmer, you could pop them in the toaster or air fryer oven for a minute or so!

Notes
I Highly recommend using a good non-stick pan for these or they could fall apart a bit. Most non-stick pans are full of toxic chemicals. I highly recommend Caraway - their saute pan has changed my life & is all I use! Truly non-stick & non-toxic!
