Ingredients
  

  • 3 Medium Plantains peeled & cut into chunks
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 tablespoon Coconut Oil melted
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ cup Water

Instructions
 

  • Place all your ingredients except the water in a high powered blender. As your mixture comes together, slowly pour the water in & blend until it looks like batter.
  • I like to use a cookie scoop to help make those round tortilla shapes & it also keeps each one about the same size due to the amount of batter.
  • When shaping the tortillas, I try & make them pretty thin. This will help them bubble up & get crispy.
  • I try & do two full cookie sheets & get about 4 tortillas on each sheet. They are about 4-5 inches across.
  • Pop them in the oven at 425 for 10 minutes, then give them a flip & bake them for another 7-10 minutes.
  • Try & really watch the last few cooking minutes. Depending on how thin you spread the tortillas, these babies could burn up. I’ve had it happen to me a couple times & it’s no bueno. 

Notes

Control Thickness: Adjust the thickness of the tortilla batter based on personal preference; thinner tortillas crisp up more for a crunchy texture, while thicker ones are softer.
Use Parchment Paper: Use parchment lined baking sheet
