Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (plus 1/4 cup for dusting/rolling)
- ½ teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
- ½ cup Water
Produce
- 3 cups Baby Spinach (lightly packed, washed, drained)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a food processor bowl, add the all-purpose flour, baby spinach leaves (washed and drained), water, olive oil, and salt.
- Process Dough: Process on medium-high speed until the mixture forms a dough ball. The dough’s stickiness will vary depending on the spinach’s moisture content. If it’s too wet, gradually add extra flour and process again to incorporate.
- Knead Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface, sprinkle additional flour over the dough, and oil your hands lightly. Knead the dough a few times until it becomes soft, elastic, and easy to roll.
- Divide Dough: Divide the dough evenly into 6 balls of the same size to ensure uniform tortillas.
- Roll Out Tortillas: On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll each dough ball into a thin flatbread about 7 inches (20 cm) in diameter and approximately 1/8 inch (2-3 mm) thick. Add flour to the surface and dough as needed to prevent sticking.
- Cook Tortillas: Preheat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Cook each spinach tortilla for about 2 minutes until dark spots appear on one side. Flip and cook the other side similarly.
- Keep Warm: As you finish cooking, stack the tortillas on a plate and cover with a towel to keep them soft and warm until serving.
Notes
- Adjust flour quantity slightly if the spinach releases more water than usual to achieve the right dough consistency.
- Use a non-stick pan for easy cooking without oil to keep the tortillas light.
- These tortillas can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
- Reheat on a dry skillet or microwave wrapped in a damp cloth to retain softness.
- For added flavor, try incorporating herbs or spices into the dough.
