Description
These easy Plantain Tortillas are made with just 3 ingredients: green plantains, oil, and salt. The plantains are boiled until soft, processed into a dough, then pressed and toasted like a traditional tortilla. Perfect for filling with meat, beans, veggies, and cheese!
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 green plantains (some yellow is ok)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp oil
Instructions
- Chop & boil the plantains: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Chop the plantain into 2 inch chunks. Boil the plantain pieces until fork tender, about 20 minutes.
- Cool & process the dough: Let the boiled plantain cool for 20 minutes to prevent your food processor from exploding. Peel before pulsing the plantains with salt and oil until a ball of dough forms. If the dough feels dry, add a teaspoon or two of the water the plantains were boiled in.
- Press the tortillas: Shape the dough into 2 inch balls before flattening between pieces of parchment paper (to prevent sticking) using a tortilla press.*
- Toast the tortillas: Toast the tortillas in a nonstick skillet or flat top, flipping until browned on both sides and slightly puffed up. Enjoy!
Notes
*Use oiled hands to work the dough and prevent sticking.
*If you don’t have a tortilla press you can flatten tortillas using a cast iron skillet and the counter – just take time to apply pressure and flatten the tortillas as thin as possible.
