Spinach tortillas are soft, flexible flatbreads made with fresh spinach for added color, nutrition, and a mild earthy flavor. Perfect for wraps, tacos, burritos, or quesadillas.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh spinach (packed)
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (optional, for softness)

Instructions

Blend fresh spinach and warm water in a blender until smooth.

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking powder if using.
  2. Add spinach puree and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Cover with a damp towel and let rest for 20–30 minutes.
  5. Divide dough into 8–10 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
  6. Roll each ball into a thin circle using a rolling pin.
  7. Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for 30–60 seconds per side until lightly browned and puffed.
  8. Stack cooked tortillas and wrap in a clean towel to keep warm and soft.

Notes

  1. Use frozen spinach if fresh isn’t available—just thaw and squeeze out liquid first.
  2. Keep tortillas wrapped after cooking to maintain pliability.
  3. Whole wheat flour makes a heartier version with slightly more chew.
  4. Customize with herbs or spices in the dough.
