Ingredients
- 1 Large Fresh Plantain Unripe or Green
- Water

- Salt (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and cut fresh plantain into large chunks. Place into a saucepan and cover with water. Cook for about 25 minutes until fully cooked and fork tender.
- Place boiled plantain into a food processor or small blender, to form a very smooth dough, a few pulses until it comes together. You can also use a large mortar and pestle, a fine sieve or mesh strainer, and a bowl.
- Remove the smooth dough into a bowl. Add salt if you prefer. Make about 4-6 balls, depending on the size of the tortilla you would like. About 2 tablespoons for street size tacos or ¼ cup for a larger tortilla.
- Take the portion dough and place between two pieces of parchment paper and press down using a tortilla press or roll it out using a rolling pin. Try not to press down too much or roll it too thin.
- Cook them on a hot griddle about medium-high, with a spritz of cooking spray or oil. A couple of minutes on each side, until golden brown. Serve warm, Enjoy.
