After playing with MANY different tortilla recipes, this simple sweet potato recipe is hands-down the best! They’re easy to make and the finished product can hold together the HUGE tacos that Kyle insists on building. He does a great job of testing the sturdiness.
This recipe makes about a dozen tortillas. If you don’t use them all right away, be sure to freeze the leftovers. They store well in an air-tight freezer bag. Once thawed, they hold their shape nicely!
If you want to turn these into chips, simply slice each tortilla into 8 pieces. Next, lay the pieces flat on a baking sheet and bake at 300 degrees F for 15-20 minutes, or until starting to brown. Made-from-scratch tortillas will impress your dinner guests… made-from-scratch (oil-free) tortilla chips will down-right blow your guests away!
There’s tons of opportunity for putting these tortillas to use: Jackfruit Tacos, One Pan, One Man Tacos, Crock Pot Tacos, Tofu Tacos, Tempeh Taco Meat, Loaded Fajita Quesadillas, Homemade Tortilla Chips.

We just made these sweet potato tortillas for supper. They are a hit. It is almost impossible to make them look as good as yours. I rolled them on parchment paper but still used flour to keep them from sticking. The parchment paper allowed me to pick them up and plop them into the skillet easier. I rolled and Bill cooked. The ones we tore we ate plain. Yummy. We smeared your queso under the fajita veggies . Fun and delicious!! We will definitely do again.
