Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Brazilian
Serves: 6 wraps
Ingredients
- 1 cup tapioca flour
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the tapioca flour and salt, whisking together to ensure even distribution.
- Create a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the water and olive oil.
- Using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix the ingredients until they form a smooth, slightly sticky dough. The consistency should be similar to a soft, pliable paste.
- Allow the dough to rest for 5 minutes at room temperature, which helps the tapioca flour hydrate and become more manageable.
- Prepare a clean work surface by lightly dusting it with additional tapioca flour to prevent sticking.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal portions, rolling each into a small ball.
- Using a rolling pin, carefully roll each ball into a thin, round wrap approximately 6-7 inches in diameter. Dust with additional tapioca flour if needed to prevent sticking.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Do not add oil to the pan.
- Cook each wrap for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until light golden spots appear and the wrap becomes soft and pliable.
- Transfer cooked wraps to a clean kitchen towel and cover to keep warm and prevent drying.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Wraps can be gently reheated in a skillet before serving.
Tips
- Measure Accurately: To ensure the perfect texture, measure your tapioca flour and water precisely. Too much water can make the dough too sticky, while too little will make it dry.
- Rest the Dough: Allowing the dough to rest for 5 minutes is crucial. This step helps the tapioca flour hydrate, resulting in a smoother and more pliable wrap.
- Use a Non-Stick Surface: Lightly dust your work surface with tapioca flour to prevent sticking when rolling out the dough. This will make the process much easier!
- Control the Heat: When cooking the wraps, keep an eye on the heat. Cooking them on medium heat helps achieve that perfect golden color without burning.
- Keep Them Warm: After cooking, cover the wraps with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft until you’re ready to serve. This also helps prevent them from drying out.
- Experiment with Fillings: These wraps are incredibly versatile! Try them with a variety of fillings, from savory options like grilled chicken and veggies to sweet combinations like nut butter and banana.
