Ingredients
- 160 grams cassava flour about 1 ½ cups
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground flax seeds
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ cup warm water
Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk together cassava flour, ground flax seeds and salt.
- Add the oil and warm water. Mix with a sturdy spoon. It will turn into dough quickly – use your hands to knead dough a couple times.
- Place dough on a piece of wax paper. Form into a disk. Divide dough into 8 equal portions.
- Preheat a flat bottom skillet to medium heat. Do not oil or spray with cooking spray.
- Place a piece of wax paper on top a ball of dough and roll into a thin tortilla. Repeat with remaining dough. Each tortilla should measure about 6 inches in diameter.
- Overlap each tortilla on the wax paper until the entire batch is rolled out.
- Take the first tortilla on the wax paper and gently flip it over onto another piece of wax paper and peel off the back.
- Then turn the tortilla into the hot skillet and cook for 1 minute. Flip with a large spatula and cook for another minute.
- Lay cooked tortillas on a towel to finish cooling completely.
- Tortillas will get more flexible as they cool.

Notes
- Note from Christine: This recipe was originally developed to make 6 tortillas. I've found that cutting the dough to make 8 is much more manageable for flipping the tortillas into the skillet to cook.
- Place a sheet of wax paper down to roll out the tortilla dough sections.
- Each section should be about 6 inches in diameter.
- Turn each tortilla into the pan (wax paper and all) and cook for 1 minute.
- Let cool completely before using.
