Ingredients
– 7 oz (200 g) Spinach (fresh or frozen) for vibrant green color and nutrient boost
– ยผ cup (60 ml) Vegetable oil for moisture and richness in the dough
– 1 tsp Salt to bring out the flavors and balance the taste
– 3 cups (360 g) All-purpose flour (or spelt flour, or gluten-free flour) to form the base of the dough
– 1 tsp Baking powder as a leavening agent to make the tortillas light and fluffy
Instructions
1-Heat a skillet over medium heat and rinse the fresh spinach, adding it while still damp to wilt for 1-2 minutes. If youโre using frozen spinach, thaw it first and drain any excess water to keep the dough from getting too wet.
2-Blend the wilted or thawed spinach with the vegetable oil and salt until you get a smooth puree. This step infuses the tortillas with that fresh, green goodness and ensures even distribution.
3-In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder to combine them well before adding the wet ingredients.
4-Add the spinach puree and about ยผ cup water to the flour mixture, then mix and knead by hand for about 5 minutes until a soft dough forms. Adjust with more water if itโs dry or more flour if itโs sticky, aiming for a pliable texture.
5-Shape the dough into a ball, cover it, and chill for 15-20 minutes to make it easier to roll out.
6-Divide the chilled dough into 6-8 equal portions, form each into a ball, and dust your work surface with flour if needed. Roll each ball into an 8-10 inch disc using a rolling pin for thin, even tortillas.
7-Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and cook each tortilla for 1-2 minutes per side until brown spots appear, giving them that perfect texture.
8-Serve them right away or set them aside for storage, as they taste best when fresh.
