This Homemade Spinach Tortillas Recipe is a step-by-step guide showing you how to make Spinach Tortillas to use for quesadillas, tacos, wraps, burritos and more! This kind of Mexican flatbread is healthy, delicious & can be made gluten-free too!
3cups(360g)all-purpose or spelt flouror sub gluten-free flour*
1tspbaking powder
Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Rinse the spinach and add it damp to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Then transfer into a colander, drain and run under cold water. (*Or simply thaw frozen spinach).
Add the spinach into a blender along with the oil and salt. Blend until smooth.
Place the flour and baking powder in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
Add spinach puree and a little water (*see recipe notes. I added 1/4 cup). Mix to combine with your hands and knead until a soft dough forms, about 5 minutes. (If the dough seems to dry, add a little more water. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour).
Shape dough is into a ball, cover (or wrap in foil), and chill for 15-20 minutes.
Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions, depending of your desired Tortilla size.
Dust a work surface with a little flour, if needed. Form each part into a ball and, using a rolling pin, flatten to make a 8-/10-inch disc.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the tortilla for 1-2 minutes or until brown spots appear. Then flip and cook from the other side.
Enjoy!
Notes
To make gluten-free Tortillas, I recommend using a gluten-free flour blend 1:1.
The amount of water may vary slightly depending on the kind of flour you use and how wet your spinach is.
