Have you ever seen people making tortillas and you just assume is complicated? A process? Too much work?
Well, as a lazy cook (at times), I'm here to tell you there's a suuuuuper easy way to have them. You can do this with sweet potatoes or regular potatoes. I happened to have one lonely little sweet potato sitting in my cupboard and wanted to give it a shot and let me tell you.. I was not disappointed at all!
This is seriously two ingredients. One thing that I have started keeping in my fridge that has come in handy a lot is dairy free plain yogurt. If you haven't tried my 2-ingredient pizza crust, it's everything dreams and Fridays are made of. Give that one a try as well!
1 large potato.
1 container of plain dairy free yogurt (I use the 5.3 ounce so delicious brand).
That really is it. If you need a little more moisture, add water 1 teaspoon at a time.
Potato hack: now if you are just eating a potato, the microwave trick is NOT recommended. If you don't have any potatoes that are already baked and you want to make these quickly - you can peel a potato, cut it up into cubes, drizzle with a touch of olive oil, and pop in the microwave until fork tender. I am sure there are people out there who are yelling BLASPHEME but the rest of us real-lifers are always looking for some great short cuts and this is one of them!
You can either mash the potato up with your fork, or better yet, add it into a food processor. The food processor will ensure a veryyyy smooth tortilla. That is the way I prefer but of course, if you don't have one, mashing it with a fork and adding flour will work just fine.
Give these a try and let me know what you think! Also, let me know what you make with them! I honestly just pop some shredded dairy free cheese on top of them and eat them like that. They're so good you don't need much else but they're GREAT with my steak tacos and creamy sriracha sauce!
As always, give me a follow on Facebook and Instagram. You're support means the world!!
