Instructions:

First, we need to prepare the sweet potato. You want to steam or boil your sweet potatoes until they are very tender. The key here is to avoid adding any extra liquid to the cooking process. If you boil them, make sure to drain them thoroughly and let them steam dry for a few minutes. Once cooked and slightly cooled, mash them until they are completely smooth. I like to use a potato masher for this, but a fork works well too, as long as you get rid of any lumps. You should aim for about 1 cup of mashed sweet potato. This smooth texture is crucial for ensuring even dough consistency.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato with the vegan butter (or oil/ghee), hot water, sea salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix everything together until it’s well combined and the butter has melted into the warm sweet potato. This mixture will form the flavor base and moisture content of our tortillas. The hot water helps to activate the psyllium husk in the next step, so don’t skip it!

Next, we’ll introduce the ingredients that give our gluten-free tortillas their structure and pliability. Sprinkle the psyllium husk over the sweet potato mixture. Stir it in well. Psyllium husk is a fantastic binder and helps create a dough that’s easier to handle, much like gluten does in traditional flour. Let this mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes. You’ll notice it thicken considerably as the psyllium husk absorbs the liquid. This step is essential for creating the right dough texture.

Now, it’s time to add the gluten-free sourdough starter. Gently fold in your 3/4 cup of gluten-free sourdough starter. If you don’t have a gluten-free sourdough starter, you can substitute it with an equal amount of water and 1/2 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, and then add an extra 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder to help with leavening. Also, add your arrowroot flour (or other starchy flour) and the optional baking powder at this stage. Stir everything together until a cohesive dough starts to form. It might seem a little sticky at first, which is perfectly normal.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface (use more arrowroot flour or a gluten-free blend for dusting). Knead the dough gently for about 2-3 minutes. You’re not looking for a strong gluten development, but rather to ensure all the ingredients are well incorporated and the dough is smooth and slightly elastic. Add a tablespoon or two more of arrowroot flour if the dough is too sticky to handle. The final dough should be soft but not overly wet.

Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball. Place a ball of dough between two pieces of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball into a thin circle, about 6-8 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick. The thinner you roll them, the more pliable and less dense your tortillas will be. If the dough sticks, use a little more arrowroot flour on the parchment paper. Carefully peel off the top layer of parchment paper.

Now for the cooking! Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully place one rolled-out tortilla onto the hot griddle. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown spots appear and the tortilla is cooked through. You should see little bubbles forming on the surface – that’s a good sign! You can flip them using a spatula. Repeat this process with the remaining dough portions.

Once cooked, stack the tortillas and wrap them in a clean kitchen towel or place them in a tortilla warmer. This steaming process will help keep them soft and pliable, preventing them from drying out. These sweet potato tortillas are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can gently reheat them in a dry skillet or microwave before serving. Enjoy your homemade gluten-free vegan wraps!

Conclusion:

There you have it – a simple yet incredibly satisfying recipe for Sweet Potato Tortillas (Gluten-Free Vegan Wraps) that will revolutionize your weeknight meals and picnic lunches! These vibrant, naturally sweet, and wonderfully pliable wraps are a fantastic alternative to traditional wheat tortillas, offering a nutritious boost from the sweet potato and catering to various dietary needs. I love how versatile they are, making them perfect for breakfast burritos, hearty lunch wraps, or even as a base for mini pizzas.

Don’t be afraid to get creative with your fillings! Consider savory options like black beans, seasoned tofu scramble, and avocado, or go for a sweet treat with fruit and nut butter. You can also experiment with adding different spices to the dough, like a pinch of smoked paprika or cumin, for an extra layer of flavor. I truly encourage you to give these Sweet Potato Tortillas a try – you’ll be amazed at how easy they are to make and how delicious they are!
