Description
Spinach tortillas make healthy, vibrant wraps!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup fresh spinach, tightly packed
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3/4 cup warm water
Instructions
- Start by blending the fresh spinach with warm water in a blender until you achieve a smooth, vibrant mixture. Set this aside to let the flavors meld.
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sea salt, and baking powder, mixing well to ensure even distribution.
- Drizzle the olive oil into the flour mixture, using your fingers or a fork to create a crumbly texture.
- Slowly incorporate the spinach puree into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until the dough begins to come together.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it becomes soft and elastic.
- Divide the kneaded dough into 8 equal pieces, rolling each piece into a ball.
- Cover the dough balls with a damp cloth and allow them to rest for 20-30 minutes to relax the gluten.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until hot.
- Take each dough ball and roll it out into a thin circle, approximately 8 inches in diameter.
- Place the rolled tortilla on the hot skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until you see light brown spots and the tortilla is cooked through.
- Keep the tortillas warm by stacking them and covering with a clean towel while you finish cooking the rest.
Notes
- For an extra kick, consider mixing in spices like chili powder or smoked paprika into the dough.
- You can also swap out half of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour for a nutritious twist.
