Spinach tortillas Recipe

I love homemade tortillas and make them so often for all kind of dishes like soft tacos, burritos, quesadillas or enchiladas. Last year I came up with an amazingly simple recipewhich is one of the most popular recipes on my blog. It has been remade by so many people who found my recipe via Instagram, Pinterest, and Google. To make it even healthier, I added a good amount of spinach which not only adds a lovely green color but also many minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. Are you curious to try out my homemade spinach tortillas?

I use chickpea flour and tapioca flour to make these healthy spinach tortillas. This flour combination is absolutely amazing and the tortillas always turn out great. They never stick to my pan, they never burst, they can be rolled and folded beautifully and they are allergy-friendly (wheat-free, corn-free). They are furthermore protein-rich (because of the chickpea flour) and grain-free.

GREAT FOR KIDS

We all know how healthy spinach is. It contains vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, andphytonutrients. Kids normally don’t like greens (I mean I get it, I didn’t like greens too when I was a kid). Adding spinach to these tortillas is pretty much tasteless! Especially if you fill the wraps with other ingredients like veggies, rice, vegan cheese etc. I seriously don’t taste the spinach at all. And if you should taste it, then simply use less spinach next time when you make these spinach tortillas. With time you can add more spinach and this will help to incorporate more greens into your own diet and your kid’s diet.

Here are some examples which kind of wraps you can make:

READY IN 20 MINUTES

It takes only 5 minutes to prepare the batter, as you just have to mix chickpea flour (also called garbanzo bean flour) with tapioca flour/starch, fresh spinach, water, and salt to taste. I simply put all ingredients in my food processor or blender and mix until the batter is smooth. Then pour some of the batter in a skillet and cook each tortilla for 2-3 minutes. The batter never sticks to my pan (I use a non-stick skillet) and I have made this recipe at least 100 times (not kidding).
