Yuca Tortillas

Cultural Context

Yuca tortillas are a staple in Ecuador, where yuca, or cassava, is a primary food source. Traditionally made by indigenous communities, these tortillas are often enjoyed with various fillings or as a side dish. In modern times, they have gained popularity beyond Ecuador, embraced by health-conscious eaters for their gluten-free nature and unique flavor.
