Fava Tortillas

3

YIELD: 15 TORTILLAS (7.5 PORTIONS)

1 cup	potato starch (not the same as potato flour)
1 cup + 2 tbsp	fava flour
1 tsp	xanthan gum
1/4 tsp	salt
1/4 cup	canola oil
1/2 tsp	baking powder
2/3 cup	water

In a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment, add all the ingredients.
Starting on low speed, mix for 1 minute. Turn the speed up to medium and mix for another 2-3 minutes until the dough is well-combined. The texture should be soft and pliable but not sticky.
Remove the dough from the mixing bowl and wrap it in plastic wrap. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
Portion out 2 tbsp (40 g) of dough and roll it into a ball. Sandwich the dough ball between two pieces of parchment and, using a rolling pin, roll it into an 8″ round. It should be thin enough to see your hand through the tortilla.
Heat a large non-stick pan on medium-high. Once the pan is hot, place the tortilla on the pan. Small bubbles should start to form in the tortilla almost immediately. Cook for about 2 minutes per side until the edges are slightly crispy and the bubbles start to turn dark brown.
Remove the tortilla from the pan and cover immediately with a dry, clean towel to keep it warm and soft.
Repeat with remainder of the dough.

Chef’s Notes: These tortillas can be used for many applications, such as quesadillas, tacos, and fajitas.
