Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¼ cups cassava flour
  • 1/3 cup tapioca flour
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¾ teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • ¾ cup very hot/boiling water

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the cassava flour, tapioca flour, salt, and xanthan gum.
  • Stir in the melted butter and hot water until thoroughly combined, about 1 ½-2 minutes. The dough should not stick to your finger.
  • Divide the dough into 10 balls (about 43g each). Cover with a damp towel and let rest for 3-5 minutes.
  • Place each dough ball between two pieces of parchment paper and press down lightly to form a thick disc.
  • Roll the dough into a 6" circle (about 1/8” thick). If you have a tortilla press, use that.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Remove tortillas from parchment.
  • Cook each tortilla for 45-60 seconds per side until lightly browned and cooked through. Serve warm!
