Easy and soft Vegan Sweet Potato Tortillas with only 2 ingredients! They are ready in 15 minutes and are great for tacos, burritos, quesadillas, enchiladas and more! Vegan, oil-free and healthy tortilla recipe.
Vegan Sweet Potato Tortillas
Do you like sweet potato? I personally love it, and I have a lot of fun incorporating it in different recipes.
Making your own tortillas is very easy and I highly recommend you to try it if you are used to buying industrial tortillas. This recipe has become one of our favorites and I keep re-making it!
Now, making your own homemade tortillas does take more time than buying them, but honestly it is SO worth it in terms of taste and health. These tortillas taste just as good – if not better! – as the store-bought ones and are amazingly soft.
2-Ingredient Soft, Healthy and Delicious Vegan Sweet Potato Tortillas
Yes, you read that right. You will only need 2 ingredients to make these delicious and healthy tortillas. No oil or weird ingredients involved – just sweet potato and flour.
The first time I made these tortillas, I was very surprised by how soft and flexible they were considering that they don’t contain any oil. To make sure they stay flexible for a couple of days, make sure to stack the cooked tortillas on a plate covered with a clean kitchen towel while you cook the rest.
You can use these tortillas to make wraps, quesadillas, burritos, enchiladas or tacos. We love to make tacos and fill them with fresh vegetables and homemade falafels!
Can I Use Gluten-Free Flour?
I personally haven’t tried making these tortillas with gluten-free flour, but other readers have used cassava flour with success. The tortillas ended up flexible and delicious. If you do try these tortillas with gluten-free flour, please let me know so I can update the recipe notes to help other readers.
Can I Use Regular Potato?
Yes, you can use regular potato instead of sweet potato. I have tried both versions many times and I can’t say which one is my favorite. Sweet potato does give the tortillas a very pretty color and adds a delicious taste, though 🙂

- Very easy to make
- Made with only 2 ingredients: sweet potato and flour
- Soft
- Tasty

Vegan Sweet Potato Tortillas | 2 Ingredients, Oil-Free
These Vegan Sweet Potato Tortillas only require two ingredients and are very easy to make. They are very soft and flexible and are perfect for wraps, tacos and burritos.
Ingredients
- 150 g sweet potato, mashed (3/4 cup)
- 130 g all-purpose flour (1 cup)
Instructions
- To a mixing bowl, add the mashed sweet potato and the flour and stir until well-combined. Use your hands to form a dough ball. It should not be too sticky.
- Separate the dough ball into 5 equal parts. Dust your working surface with flour and roll out each tortilla with a rolling pin (they should be roughly 1/2 cm thick). Don't make them too thin, otherwise they won't be as soft and flexible.
- Place the tortillas in a hot pan over medium-high heat and cook for 1 minute on both sides. Stack the cooked tortillas on a plate covered with a clean kitchen towel while you cook the rest. This will allow them to stay very flexible.
Notes
- How to make these tortillas gluten-free: Carley used cassava flour and it worked perfectly. The tortillas were flexible and delicious. Thank you for your feedback, Carley!

Do you need to cook the sweet potato first please?
Author
Hi Pauline!
Yes, you do need to cook the sweet potato first and then mash it. I like to bake it whole at 200°C for 40 minutes or until fork-tender.
Let me know how it went 🙂

Thank you for your prompt reply and your recipe. 😊

can we do this reciepe gluten free
Author
Hi Denise!
I haven’t tried this recipe with gluten-free flour yet, so I’m not sure how the tortillas would turn out. Would I try it, I would use a combination of chickpea flour and tapioca starch to keep the tortillas soft. I hope this helps!
If you do try it, let me know and I can mention it in the recipe notes to help other readers 🙂
Nolwenn ☀
I made these with gluten free all purpose flour and OMG delicious!!!!
Author
Hi Lisa, thank you for your feedback. That’s amazing, I’m so glad you liked my recipe 😀

I know you said you haven’t tried it but can soy flour work?
Author
Hi Leah, it might work but the tortillas may not be as soft and flexible.
Do let me know if you try the recipe with soy flour 🙂
Have a nice day!
Nolwenn ☀
From my experience, it works great with gluten-free flour and tastes delicious!
That would be super helpful info to add to the recipe 🙂
I’m eager to try this out! Thanks so much!
Author
Thanks, Laura!
Some people have used cassava flour with great success, too!
Nolwenn
Hi! when you bake the potatoes in the oven, do you put them entire? and do you peel them before or after?
Thanks for sharing this lovely recipe!!!
Author
Hi there,
I like to bake them whole with the skin on and peel them once they are cooked.
I hope this helps!
Nolwenn
Any recipe you can refer me to substitute the all purpose flour (wheat AND rice allergy)? Thanks!
Author
Yes, I highly recommend you to check out Ela’s recipe for Gluten-Free Tortillas 🙂
She doesn’t use sweet potato but I’m sure you will like her recipe!

Hi, do I have to mix the flour and the sweet potato when it’s hot or can I wait when it’s colder?
Thank you

Hi Violette,
Both ways will work great, I have tried them both 🙂

Have you tried this with almond flour?

Hi Heather,
No, I haven’t tried these with almond flour so I can’t tell you how it would go 😊
Let me know if you do 😃

Do these freeze well?
Author
Yes, they do freeze well 🙂
Have a nice day,

Can you please convert the recipe to cups? I tried on my own but some things convert differently. For instance, 130 gram of flour is a cup and then when I look up how many grams in a cup it’s 150g per cup so I’m getting very confused 🤷♀️ Thank you.
Author
Hi Erica,
1 cup of all-purpose flour is 135g but you would be fine using 130g.
I have updated the Vegan Taco Pockets with Falafels recipe for you, I hope it helps 🙂

Hi,
I’m at ballet school and have just made these to take for my lunch to dip in salsa, I’m very impressed as I tried one, loved it and got my housemates to try it and they loved it!
Tips on how to store and how long they last?
Author
Thank you for your sweet comment, I’m really glad you and your housemates liked my tortillas 🙂
They should stay soft and flexible for a couple of days if you keep them stacked on a plate covered with a kitchen towel. They are also great for freezing.
I hope this helps!
Nolwenn ☀
Your recipes all look amazing, but I am MOST impressed by your kind and responsive comments. Reading your blog is a delight!

Hello . Can I make them with almond flour. It will work ? Thanks
Author
Hmm it might work, but I would add a few tablespoons of tapioca flour to help the dough be flexible since there is no gluten in almond flour.
Do let me know how it goes if you try this recipe with almond flour 🙂
Nolwenn ☀
I can’t wait to try these! It looks like from other reviews that the a/p gluten-free flour will work so I am going to give it a try! Thanks for a great recipe!
Author
Hi Maggie,
I’ver never tried this recipe with gluten-free flour before, so I can’t tell you if it works or not.
Let me know if you do try it so I can put it in the recipe notes for other readers 🙂
Nolwenn ☀
I made these GF by using cassava flour and these turned out PERFECT!! Thank you! It’s been hard to find a flexible tortilla recipe to make when you can have grains of any kind.
Author
I’m happy to hear that, Carley! Thank you for your feedback.
I’m going to add your adaptation idea to the recipe notes for other readers 🙂
Nolwenn ☀
These look great. Thank you for the recipe. I was wondering at what stage these should be frozen? Before cooking or after?
Author
Thank you 🙂
These tortillas should be frozen after cooking. Simply stack them (separate each tortilla with a piece of parchment paper so they don’t stick to each other) and place them in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 4 months. Before using, let the tortillas thaw and reheat in a frying pan or in the oven, or enjoy them cold.
I hope this helps!
Nolwenn ☀
Thank you x
Yum–we loved these! My husband especially enjoyed and everyone has requested more. Made the first batch with my 14 year old and we had a great time doing it together. Thank you!
Author
Hi Kelly, thanks so much for your comment!
I’m glad you all enjoyed the tortillas and that you and your son had fun making them together 🙂

Do you use oil to cook Them?
Author
If I’m using a non-stick pan I don’t, however I do add a tiny bit of oil if the pan is not non-stick 🙂

What is your suggestion for fillings?
Author
Hi Gloria! These sweet potato tortillas are delicious with just hummus or guacamole. You could also fill them with roasted veggies and falafels and add your favorite sauce – I suggest tahini sauce or vegan barbecue sauce. Check out these two recipes for inspiration:
Easy Vegan Tacos with Falafels
Baked Falafel Salad
Enjoy!!

A great idea! They look so wholesome and healthy. I will definitely try it. Thanks.

Hi Nolwenn,
Can I use this for pizza? I make the dough and bake it in the oven with pizza-ingredients?
Greetings Esther
Author
Hi Esther,
Yes, you can totally use these tortillas for pizza! That’s right – simply prepare the dough, top it with your favorite ingredients and bake it in the oven until it’s ready 🙂
Happy cooking – and enjoy your pizza!
Nolwenn
These were soooo good we had tacos tonight I had made these intentionally for me and bought the husband his taco shells he says I’ll try them and the store bought pack DIDNT get opened!! They were a hit!! Lol I was wondering could one try oat flour? And If we used them as pizzas how long would they get baked for and at what temperature?
Author
Haha that’s amazing! I’m glad you guys both loved my recipe!
I’ve never tried making these tortillas with oat flour though so I’m not sure about the final result. If you want to make them gluten-free, you can use cassava flour instead of regular flour.
However, I do have a pizza crust recipe that’s made with sweet potato and oat flour (Vegan Sweet Potato Crust Pizza) – maybe you’re interested 🙂
To answer your question, if I’m using these tortillas for pizza I usually bake them at 350°F (180°C) for 10 minutes. If you’re using veggies as toppings, make sure to cut them finely so they cook quickly.
I hope this helps!
Nolwenn
Can’t wait to make them 😋
Author
I can’t wait for you to try them, Maria!
Happy cooking 🙂

Hi do we store them in fridge or on counter covered is ok? And for how long will they last before freezing.
Author
Hi Elizabeth!
These tortillas keep well for 3-4 days at room temperature. I recommend you to stack them on a plate as soon as they are cooked and to cover them with a clean kitchen towel. This will allow them to stay soft and flexible. Keep in mind that they will lose some of their flexibility after 1-2 days, though.
Then, you can freeze them for up to 4 months if you want.
I hope this helps!
Nolwenn
Hi. Thank you for this recipe! It is delicious and super easy! I made the recipe with King Arthur’s Gluten Free Flour and it turned out great! My husband and I agree, it was much tastier than the store bought corn ones! Keep up the great work!
Author
Thanks so much for your feedback, Lara!
I’m glad you and your husband liked my tortilla recipe 🙂
Have a nice day!

Is it the complete sweet potato ? Skin as well ?
Author
Hi Johanne,
No, you need to remove the skin of the sweet potato.
Happy cooking!
Nolwenn
Thank you very much for the reply. I appreciate it. I will be making these. Can’t wait to try them. They look so delicious !
Author
No worries, Johanne! Always happy to help 🙂
Let me know how it went!
Nolwenn
Made them with freshly ground whole wheat and sweet potato. They are good, but I wonder why there is no salt in the recipe? Noone mentioned that they needed salt, so I tried the original recipe. I will try adding a tsp. salt next time. I also want to try them with regular potato. I want to try the sweet potato and gluten free flour as well. Thanks for the recipe.
Author
Hi Jenny,
Thanks for your comment! I personally don’t think these tortillas need salt but of course feel free to add a teaspoon of salt if you think you would like them more this way 🙂
I hope you will like the potato tortillas as well.
Have a nice day!
Nolwenn
Hello,
I am curious to know how well the dough holds up over time. Could I combine ingredients and set aside until the evening? Does it change the outcome?
Thanks
Author
Hi there, thanks for reaching out!
You should be fine setting the dough aside until the evening. Simply wrap it in a plastic bag and place it in the fridge until you are ready to use it.
I hope this helps!
Nolwenn
Hi can you add herbs / spices to the dough. Thank you.
Author
Hi Linda,
Yes, sure!
Nolwenn
What a satisfying recipe! Thank you! I used with peeled/boiled sweet potato. Will be a staple recipe–so easy and delish!

That’s amazing, Karen! Well done!

I tried making these using buckwheat flour (75%)and tapioca flour, (25%) and they turned out fine! It was an experiment so I was pleased with the results for a gluten free version. I’m making them again today so hopefully they’ll turn out well for the second time!

That’s great! Let me know how it turned out!
