I decided to take a whirl at Sweet Potato Tortillas (we’ll call them Sweet Pota-tillas, thanks to an IG follower!) I just felt like a twist on a paleo tortilla and I these came out so good!
Don’t be intimidated by the recipe. It has a few steps to tackle BUT they are easy and honestly, if I can do it….you can do it! And if you can’t or don’t want to, message me and I’ll send you some 🙂 Really. I will!
The sweet potatoes are dehydrated and then pulsed in coffee grinder to a flour/powder.
*Dehydrate/Flour:
*3 sweet potatoes – peeled and sliced evenly no more than 1/4 inch thick.
*Lay sweet potatoes on dehydrator racks in a single layer.
*Turn dehydrator on to 145 and dehydrate appx 12 hours (check ….you want them to be crunchy)
*In batches, put sweet potato “chips” into coffee maker and grind to a fine consistency.
*You can probably do this in a food processor or high powered blender too.
*And you’re done — you have sweet potato flour/powder!
If you don’t have a dehydrator, I’m sure they can be made in and oven at low temp for a long period of time. The dehydrator is so easy though – as you can let it go all night or all day without attending it.
They taste amazing! We picked at a couple of the tortillas as they came out of the oven and kinda wanted to keep nibbling on them but I had to save the rest to make up some taquitos!
Next will be enchiladas!
I got 2 thumbs up from the fam on both the taste of the tortilla alone and then made up into taquitos so I highly suggest giving these a try! So without further ado……
- 1/2 cup sweet potato flour *
- 1/2 cup arrowroot powder
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp melted ghee
- 3-4 tbsp water
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- In a bowl, combine sweet potato flour & arrowroot.
- Whisk eggs and add to bowl along with almond milk, ghee, garlic powder and salt. Mix/whisk well.
- Add water accordingly -- you want it to be kind of like a runny pancake batter.
- Heat small skillet and pour mixture into center of pan, taking and maneuvering to swirl the "batter" to edges forming a round tortilla.
- Cook about 3-4 minutes on one side and take spatula to carefully flip over to cook other side another few minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Eat warm with butter! Cool and store in fridge to use in other recipes 🙂

I was just wondering if you don’t have a dehydrator is there another way to make these. I am new to paleo and your IG account and website have helped me try so many new things. Thank you so much!
Hi Desiree! I am sure you can do it in an oven at low temp ….170 degrees but not more than 200 (if yours doesn’t go below 200 degrees). You should also prop the oven door open a bit to minimize moisture. It could take 6-10 hrs tho. So be prepared not to use your oven that day. It should work tho! I’ve dried fruit in my oven before I had a dehydrator. Let me know 🙂
