I hope you guys like these tortillas - they're delicious! Just a quick note - Recently I’ve been hearing from readers that certain brands of cassava flour are gritty, sticky and/or don’t perform as well. I’ve been using Otto’s Cassava Flour for years (linked above) and I think in the case of cassava flour, it seems the brand really does make a difference. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do! :) x
Downshiftology ok thank you i was thinking maybe almond flour or coconut
Downshiftology 1
I recently got a gritty bag and Otto's told me that when the flour sits around for a while, fibers in the flour start to point down, and make it through their sieves, and into the bags for the final product. Not supposed to happen. Contact Otto's and they'll send you a new bag. The new bag I got was good, no gritty fiber strands.
@@jeanettegarcia2884 I tried to use coconut flour the other day and it did not work for me. I threw the whole dough away. I've been trying to make gluten free tortillas, I think I can try this.
Pamela's Cassava Flour did not work for me. Unfortunately, it never got past the soupy batter stage.
I'm from Brazil, and as cassava is native from here and other countries in South America, the native americans from our region have been using it for centuries to do many things, and we inherited the use of cassava from them, but I've never seen something like cassava flour "tortillas". But it's an interesting use, I must say.
One staple food in the Northeast of Brazil is made not with cassava flour, but with cassava starch. It's called "tapioca" or "beijú", depending on the region of Brazil, but is basically a cassava starch crepe/tortilla. I guess you mught have eaten or heard about "tapioca pudding", which is made with "tapioca flour", which is derived from cassava starch.
The tapioca "crepe" is usually eaten with coffee during breakfast or the afternoon snack. You can spread butter and/or you can put a variety of fillings, with cheese being the most usual, but you can also use fried eggs, shredded beef or even sweet fillings like banana and nutella.
The tapioca recipe only takes tree ingredients: cassava starch, salt and water. You don't need oil, butter or anything else to cook them. Even so it can be a bit tricky to get the right proportion. I've think I found a recipe in english that you can use to make them.
www.thespruceeats.com/tapioca-brazilian-crepes-3029703
A tip: be careful when cooking the tapioca to not undercook it. An undercooked tapioca is crumbly, while a cooked tapioca has a little bit of elasticity to it. If your tapioca is still crumbly or hard even after you cooked it well, maybe you should add more water to the recipe.
Cassava starch has many uses, you can make cakes, puddings, porridges and many other recipes with it!
In Colombia too.
After many failed attempts at homemade tortillas, I finally found this video and got it right! I don't have a press but was able to use a rolling pin and create the same thin cake, and I added a bit of garlic salt for flavor. *Thank you so much for this great video!* 👏
You are fabulous Lisa! I have waited for 10 years for someone like you to create a channel like this. Since I started following you a while back, I've seen how many people you have affected and look at how many subscribers you have now! I'm so excited and happy for you. Congratulations to you and good health! :) Thank you for all of your wonderfully done videos, your posts, your blog, your efforts, and healthy and delicious recipes. We appreciate you very much!
Oh wow, thanks so much Lilly for your kind words! That truly means a lot to me. And I'm so thrilled you love my recipes and videos. :) x
Downshiftology ❤️
As soon as I saw the title, I clicked and liked. You have no idea how much I need this right now.
Awesome! Perfect timing then. :) x
Sameeeeee
I just made this recepie, omg it's soo good! My tortillas came up very ugly, but it's a game changer for me! Thank you Lisa!
Yay! Glad you enjoyed them. And looks don't matter as much as taste. ;)
love making my own tortillas! what a great option for the gluten free crowd!!!
Yes, and they're the most similar to wheat tortillas...chewy and all!
Made these today, recipe is easy and they are so soft and
delicious! Thank you!
Wonderful! I'm happy to hear that!
My favorite Cassava flour tortillas have gone sky high in price at my Natural Grocer's, so I'm glad to see this recipe to make my own. Since I cook only for myself, I would probably not eat a bunch all at once. So, I wondered if I could freeze them? Would I freeze the dough balls or would I freeze the tortillas after they are made? Love your channel!
I'm so glad you discovered my video then :) You can definitely freeze them after the tortillas have been made. Just make sure to put parchment paper in between each tortilla so they don't stick together and store away in a ziploc bag or Stasher bag.
I know they are 10.00!
I recently realized that my stomach ailments were due to eating gluten, so these make me feel normal - I use them just like bread for anything They are delicious! Thank you kindly for sharing!!
Great video. Good alternative to use when I complete Whole 30.
Yes, definitely!
Thank you for this recipe! I tried it and had great success! It was super delicious!!!
Wonderful! Glad these came out perfectly 😊
OMG! I couldn't avoid to laughing when she was making the tortillas, SO CUTE! I came from the mecca of the tortillas, Mexico! my mom and my ant use to make tortillas from scratch and seeing this video made me realized how lucky I was. I love this girl's videos, so peaceful and very healthy, I'll try to make this tortillas. Can anyone tell me the name of the balls that look like butter, I couldn't get it. Thanks.
Lorena carlson I think you are referring to the palm shortening. 😊
These are absolutely delicious
Hi Lisa, we LOVE making and eating these wonderful tortillas. My son and I have needed to follow a low FODMAP diet recently and I’m sad to learn that we can only have limited amounts of cassava flour. Can you think of a way to cut these with another low FODMAP ingredient, like cornmeal? I don’t want to give up on making these yummy tortillas. If it is possible do half cassava and half of something else, like the cornmeal, I will be thrilled. Thanks so much!
I love how perfectly round and beautiful these come out of the press. Do you know if you can freeze them for later use?
Yes! I usually make a double batch of these tortillas and then put the extra in a ziploc bag (with parchment paper in between), then place in the freezer. They re-heat beautifully!
@@Downshiftology do you cook the torillas before freezing or do you freeze them raw?
I don’t want to use palm shortening as I heard that it’s not sustainable and loss of habitat is happening because of it. Can I use lard, chicken fat or bacon fat as a substitute?
Yum! It looks so good! Is there a way to make theses without a tortilla press?
Love your recipes by the way :)
Yes, you could definitely roll them between two pieces of parchment paper. :)
Thanks for making this simple❤
Can I use tapioca flour instead of cassava flour?
What a cool recipe, and beautiful kitchen or studio, by the way!
Thanks so much!
Hi! I’m from Brazil and I loved this recipe. But, I have a question: Is cassava flour the same as manioc flour? Here, in Brazil, we have manioc flour.... (I am so excited to cook this recipe but I am not sure about the flour 🤔
Ive learned soooo much
I am so happy I came across this channel today. How about making pasta with cassava flour?
I'll have to make that soon! But in the meantime - I have a sweet potato gnocchi recipe that uses almond flour + arrowroot powder here: downshiftology.com/recipes/sweet-potato-gnocchi-sage-walnut-pesto/
relentless and awesome
I tried your recepie and when baking them they blow up like chapatti??)) How thin the pancake has to be? Have no machine. Thank you so much.
You are a genius! Thanks for posting!
Enjoy the recipe :)
great recipe and pretty chef!
Aww, thanks! :) Hope you enjoy the tortillas!
Great video! Thank you for sharing
Glad you liked it! :)
Thanks for sharing the recipe. I can't wait to try them. What's your thoughts on substituting the Palm Shortening with Kerry's Gold Butter?
That's a good question and I haven't tried it. But I'd say give it a whirl!
Thanks for the reply! It turned out okay. It was my first try so I'll keep at it. :)
Tim Gephart Have you tried any other substitutes? If so, what did you try and ehich did you prefer? Thanking you in advance if you reply🙏🏾
Excellent. And this is a cool tool that you used to cut your tortillas may I know where did u get it from ?!
Thank you for this recipe. ☺
You're welcome! Glad you liked it!
This is great because my country has cassava as a staple
Perfect! 😊
can I use olive oil instead?
I use avocado oil and they turn out perfect !!! I’m sure you could use olive , ? I would try it and see .
I used to use coconut oil but and they’d only turn out perfect occasionally but once I used the avocado oil they come out perfect texture every time and non stick to the parchment and plastic wrap I use .
What other flour do u recommend? I'm not allergic to gluten
perfect paleoo
That they are! :)
thank you so much.
hi! is that butter or cream in there? I dont understand very well english:( THanks!
Hi, I love this recipe. Does it work with the Raw Manioc Flour? Thank you.
Thanks! And it should, as manioc is just another name for cassava. But I do find different brands of cassava flour work differently in cooking (some better than others). So I always use Otto's brand of cassava flour (linked above) as it consistently works well. :)
Do you think this one can works as you use it in the recipe? www.souschef.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/m/a/manioc-flour.jpg
It's hard to tell from the photo, but that looks quite coarse. My cassava flour is super fine, just like an all purpose wheat flour. I've heard from some people that their brand of cassava flour is gritty, which is why I always recommend Otto's Cassava Flour, if you can get it. :)
Such a neat video, how come u didn’t give measurements? 🤔
Could I substitude cream of tartar with vega cream cheese or butter? We can't have cream of tartar ,allergic !
Hi Lisa, I would like to make your tortillas but I can't find Cassava Flour. Is there another flour that I can substitute instead.
Unfortunately I've only tested this with cassava flour. Will do more testing in the future 😊
And do they freeze well?
My tortillas came out hard, do you have any tips to make sure they come out soft?
Just wondering if you could recomemend a alternative flour choice? Cassava flour is extremely high in carbohydrates and I really wanted to try making these for my daughter who is diabetic. Is there another healthy flour that would give good flavor?
Unfortunately different flours function differently, so there's not a 1:1 replacement in this recipe. Though I will be playing around with an almond flour tortilla recipe soon. :)
cassava flour is wonderful because it’s pretty low on the glycemic scale. Please research it, I eat cassava boiled because it is a low carb low glycemic starch starch, and it is higher in calories and much lower glycemic than white rice. Race
Hello I'm a new mom and I'm trying to learn new recipes and just doing a whole 360 change in cooking for my baby boy who is allergic to treenuts,peanuts, soy,dairy, potato, chicken,beef and fish.... I want to try this recipe but I'm not sure what kind of shortening I could use....some contain soy... any help would help truly... Thank you
Is palm shortening same as crisco?
Omg you look like a model in this video 😍😍 and I just discovered your acc. and can't stop looking at youwër videos ☺ very informative and healthy ideas ❤
Oh, you're too sweet! So glad you're enjoying my videos! :) x
Can I make bigger tortillas like big enough for a wrap
Can an electric tortilla press be used?
Substitute of cream of tartar
I think i did not do the water right. It came out so hard . I like the taste but it is not bendable at all
What can be used instead of cream of tartar?
You could use vinegar instead, though it might add a smidge of flavor. You could also just leave it off and they'd be a little less fluffy. But not a biggie. :)
Downshiftology Thank you very much!! 😊😊
Do you know how to make homemade almond flour tortillas? I've tried the Sieta brand ones from Whole Foods and they are so delicious but pricy!
I haven't made those yet, but I should give it a try!
Can I find cassava flour at sprouts ?
Brasilian national dish
Pity I didn't find the receipe and didn't really get all the ingredients. Cassava , baking soda, water what else?
Could i use coconut oil instead of shortening??
Yes
Could you make the dough in a Kitchenaid mixer?
I haven't tried it, but I'm sure it could work with the dough hook.
Key information for recipes are the ingredient proportions which are blatantly missing. If you want me patronizing your website I have to have a reason to do so. The trick of leaving the amounts out so I am required to visit your website is just that. I believe that “when you give you receive”, so I am giving you some advice.
I like your tortilla press but can’t find your kind. Yours seems bigger then the one in the Mexican markets. Jc
Can l use sun flower oil instead of palm shortening ?
Yes, you can use any oil/fat you'd like. :)
Downshiftology What measurements of oil would I sub in comparison to the shortening? For example, if i used a hard oil or soft oil? Would it be the same as the palm shortening? Thank you so much for sharing the recipe.
👏
Can these be used in whole 30 diet?
Unfortunately these aren't part of Whole30 :(
Are they chewy?
Yes, similar texture to regular tortillas. :)
Downshiftology i know yucca is sooo chewy when i eat steamed one.so is this chewy and dense? Cause tortilla is not so dense and as chewy as yucca
what is your name of your website ?
www.downshiftology.com
What was the 4th ingredient?? :)
Hi Aimski - not sure what you mean?
Hi Aimski - not sure what you mean?
Aimski Moskwa Palm shortening, it’s hard to understand by the way she is saying. Substitute with any oil she said.
YOU ARE SMOKIN HOT IN THIS VIDEO...HAD TO WATCH IT A COUPLE OF TIMES TO SEE WHAT YOU WERE MAKING... I WAS A LITTLE DISTRACTED BY HOW GORGEOUS YOU WERE 😁😂👍
Oh palm oil , no please.
Yeah, do not put them on paper towels. Paper towels are full of formaldehyde. Horrific huh? Floored me.
Good to know - thanks!
Has anybody tried this without cream of tartar? I dont have any at home and I dont want to buy one just to try this recipe. :) #zerowaste Thanks.
Yes, you can make it without the cream of tartar. It just might not be quite as fluffy. Also, make sure to read the notes on my website about the brand of cassava flour. It seems there are many sub-par brands out there now.
Hi Lisa....can you substitute coconut oil for the palm oil?
Love this option for GF for bread. Thanks! Would like to know if coconut oil can be used in place of palm oil?
Any fat or oil will do
What can we substitute the palm shortening with?
Is tapioca flour the same as cassava flour?
The tortillas look great, but is the palm shortening bad for you being it's so high in saturated fat, and is this a hydrogenated oil? If it's not the healthiest, can this be swapped out for another shortening, like unrefined coconut oil in place of the palm shortening in this recipe?
These are my go to food!!! These cassava tortillas !!! I use them for bread as tacos burritos empanadas pizzas 🍕, I also use for a sweet treat like to spread almond butter on. I love them and I love this channel ! Thank you 🙏🏻❤️!!!!
The only recipe I've tried so far that works!
At My first attempt, the tortillas came out too floury.. but on my second attempt I made the tortillas thinner and they came out much better. My mom taught me to press around the edges to help keep the steam inside which will help the tortillas inflate.
Can I substitute with coconut flour.
I've never used cassava flour but now I am inspired to try it! Love your beautiful videos!
Just made them! So good
Please help me with the substitute for Cream tarter and Palm shortening.
I'm so excited to try this recipe.
Yes, would love to know what to use instead of palm shortening which I can’t find where I live.
Bummer I couldn't understand one ingredient and it's not written anywhere
Luna Collacchi turn on closed caption
Which ingredient...maybe I can help?
Luna Collacchi I bet it was the 5th ingredient, palm shortening , substitute it with any oils she said.
Is there a substitute for palm shortening?
For those who are conscience about the environment and don’t want to use Palm Oil bc they destroy Amazon forest for Palm plantations, would coconut oil work?
Yes, I mention on the full recipe post that any oil/fat will work.
What kinds of oil can I use to replace plam shortenings ? Are liquid oils okay or does it need the same consistency as Palm shortenings ?
Coconut oil.
Hi and thanks for this post and all the other great posts you make available. I've been following you for a couple of weeks now with hopes of reversing the pain I have from RA. A big thanks for providing a link to an ethical supplier of palm-based ingredients. The massive and incredibly sad impact the unethical sourcing of palm oil has on rainforests and especially orangutans is beyond belief.
I’m not a cook and so I don’t know how
Much oil, water or cream of tartar I am supposed to use… on your website it said to use 1/4 tsp on baking soda… but that’s it … can anyone help me please
Wuaaaooo te felicito yo no sé hacerlas tortillas eres un gran ejemplo saludos desde México
Thanks so much! ❤️
I just wanted to ask about the cassava flour tortilla recipe in your book I made them today the Otto's cassava flour. I am wondering about the carbs in the nutrition information as in the book it says 2 gram carbs per tortilla if you make 6 servings.when i calculate the carbs from the bag of flour its over 16 gr carbs per serving. I am wondering if it was a typo in the book for the recipe? I would love them to be only 2 grams per serving but am concerned they are much higher. thank you for all you do for us. 😊
I bought your cookbook and this recipe was in your book however book called olive oil and your video here you are using shortening. What’s the difference?
Sorry but this was an awful experiment. All the dough stuck to the paper. Tried chilling the dough, less water, more shortening…not one thing worked. It doesn’t release from the parchment paper. I bought everything from the Amazon store she has…for me it was a fail
Making this today! An idea for a future video: how to pick produce at the store. I bought limes for the marinade and the first one was fine but the other two were woody and dry. I clearly don’t know how to choose limes! Thanks for all your great work.
Could you use coconut oil (not the liquid, but when it's hard) instead of palm shortening?
Is there a substitution for the Palm Shortening? Thanks :)
You can use any oil or fat.
Great idea to make tortillas with cassava flour. But I need measurements. Wondering why you don't say how much of what.
Замес теста понравилось этого инструмента нет придётся катать тесто скалкой
I don't have palm shortening can I use something else? I have butter and I have avocado oil and maybe some coconut oil
Vegetable shortening is really bad for the heart. I avoid anything that has palm oil shortening in it.
Can't wait to try these. I have a packet of cassava flour waiting to be opened :) Is there any way these can be stored?
Yes, check out the full recipe on my website for more details.
