   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   270            grams  sweet potato -- 9 1/2 oz
   130            grams  all-purpose flour -- 1C

In a saucepan, cover the sweet potato with water and bring it to a 
boil. Cook it for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender and soft in the 
center. To check, poke the center of the sweet potato with a fork to 
make sure it is fully cooked. Be sure to cook it enough. This helps 
to mash and incorporate the ingredients easier which results in a 
smoother dough.

Once the sweet potato is cooked, drain and let it cool down for a few 
minutes or until it's easy to handle. If the potato is too warm the 
dough will become sticky and difficult to handle. Peel and mash the 
sweet potato in a bowl with all-purpose flour. Combine and knead the 
mixture until a smooth dough forms.

Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and round them into balls. Dust 
the working surface with flour and roll it out with a rolling pin 
(each should be about 2 mm (2/25 inch) thick).

Place a piece of tortilla on a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook 
each side for about 1 minute or until golden brown. Transfer to a 
plate. Repeat the same process until all the tortillas are cooked.

You can use either bread flour or all-purpose flour for this recipe. 
However, it's important to note that bread flour has a higher protein 
content than all-purpose flour, which will make the dough more 
elastic and difficult to work with. The final texture may be chewier 
than the one made with all-purpose flour, but they all taste great.

To store sweet potato tortillas in the refrigerator, place them in an 
airtight container or resealable plastic bag and store them for up to 
5 days. To reheat, microwave the tortillas for 10 seconds, or until warm.

If you'd like to keep the freshness a little longer, you may store 
them in the freezer. Wrap each of the tortillas with plastic wrap and 
store them in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag, and 
keep them in the freezer for up to 3 months. To heat, thaw the frozen 
tortillas in the refrigerator the night before, and reheat them in 
the microwave for 10 seconds or on the stove.
