Sweet Potato Veggie Tortillas
What it is
These are soft, pliable flatbreads made with a blend of flour, water, and mashed sweet potato. The inclusion of sweet potato gives them a slightly sweet flavor and a tender texture. They are designed to be a versatile base for a variety of meals, offering a colorful and subtly different option compared to traditional flour tortillas.

To warm them, place a tortilla in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or until pliable. You can also wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30-60 seconds.
