Homemade Spinach Tortillas
As demonstrated in the “Wrapped & Ready to Roll” episode of Live It – August 2021
Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- ⅓ cup tapioca flour
- 2 oz spinach or kale leaves
- 1 cup + 2 Tbsp water
- ¼ tsp salt
- Other spices as desired: cayenne pepper, garlic powder, herbs, etc.
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until very smooth.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spritz with a small amount of oil or nonstick cooking spray.
- Pour about ¼ cup batter into the center of the skillet and gently tilt skillet in all directions to spread the batter into a thin circle. Cook 1–2 minutes or until set, then flip and cook another minute on the other side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter. Makes 6–8 tortillas.
- Serve immediately filled with your favorite wrap, taco or burrito fillings. Unused tortillas may be refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage—simply reheat in the microwave when ready to serve.
Notes
- If the batter is too thick, add more water.
- You may use most other flours in place of the chickpea flour; even whole wheat flour may be used but the product will not be gluten free.
