Ingredients
  

  • 1 large NC sweetpotatoes
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or cassava flour
  • 8 oz. rotisserie chicken shredded
  • 1/2 cup pico de gallo
  • 1 medium avocado sliced

Instructions
 

  • Peel and chop our sweetpotato.
  • Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the chopped sweetpotatoes and cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, mash the sweetpotatoes and combine with the flour. The dough should not be too sticky.
  • Use your hands to form the dough into a ball and divide into 6 equal portions. Dust your working surface with flour and use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into tortillas.
  • Preheat a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat (spray with oil if not nonstick), place the tortilla in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on both sides.
