These healthy homemade spinach tortillas are soft, flavorful, and vibrant green wraps made with simple ingredients. Perfect for quick meals, they bring a fresh twist to everyday dishes while sneaking in a serving of greens.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves (packed)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3/4 cup warm water (180ml)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry fresh spinach leaves thoroughly. Place them in a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed (about 1-2 minutes).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution (about 2 minutes).
  3. Add the pureed spinach and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Slowly pour in warm water, mixing with a spoon or your hands until the dough starts to come together. Adjust flour or water as needed for dough consistency (about 5 minutes).
  4. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 3-4 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
  6. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten with your hand. Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a thin circle about 6-7 inches in diameter. Let rest a few more minutes if dough springs back.
  7. Heat a dry non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for 30-45 seconds until bubbles form, then flip and cook the other side for another 30 seconds until light golden spots appear. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  8. Stack cooked tortillas and cover with a clean towel to keep warm and soft until serving.

Notes

If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out excess water before pureeing to avoid sticky dough. Letting the dough rest is crucial for pliability. Cook tortillas on medium to medium-high heat to avoid burning and ensure even cooking. Keep cooked tortillas warm by stacking and covering with a towel. For gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free or almond flour but expect a softer, more delicate texture.
