I always liked the idea of spinach tortillas, until I looked at the ingredients list on a package of spinach flour tortillas and saw spinach as the second-to-last ingredient, followed only by preservatives. Sigh. It’s not the case here; spinach is quite literally packed in to these verdant flatbreads.

Step by Step Instructions

Note that the complete instructions are also in the recipe card below.

Step One: Make the Batter

In a blender, process, the chickpea flour, water, spinach and salt until blended and completely smooth, stopping to scrape down sides of blender once or twice, as needed. It will be the consistency of a green smoothie. (Note: a food processor is not recommended; it will not blend the batter smooth enough).

Transfer the batter to a glass measuring cup, a lipped bowl, or pitcher (for straightforward pouring); cover and let rest for at least 1 hour or for up to 48 hours.

Step Two: Heat a Nonstick Skillet / Nonstick Pan

Heat a medium, nonstick skillet (I used seasoned cast iron as my nonstick frying pan; a ceramic non-stick pan is another nourishing choice) over medium-high heat. If you only have a large pan, you can use it instead of a medium size.

Step Three: Add the Batter

Pour about 1/3 cup (75 mL) batter into the pan, quickly tilting in all directions to cover the bottom of pan. Cook for about 30-45 seconds, until it is just golden at the edges. With a spatula, carefully lift an edge of the tortilla to test for doneness.

The tortilla is ready to turn when it is golden brown on the bottom of the tortilla and can be shaken loose from the pan.

Step Four: Flip the Tortilla

Turn the tortilla over and cook for 15 to 30 seconds, until it releases easily from the pan.Transfer the tortilla to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary between tortillas, stacking the cooled tortillas between sheets of waxed paper to prevent sticking.

Flavor and Variations

The finished tortillas are simply wonderful, ready for use in your go-to Tex-Mex dishes, wraps, and so much more.

The spinach has a neutral flavor, making these ideal for any filling you can imagine, or alongside stews and tagines, as a pick-up bread. I’ve even spread these with nut butter and jam, much to my son’s horror (he does not know what he is missing!)

You can vary the flavor with ease by adding one or more the following suggested options:

Fresh or dried herbs:consider adding a small handful of fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, basil, or dill. Or add 1 teaspoon or more of dried herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, herbs de Provence or Italian her seasoning.

Spices:Add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of your go-to spice or flavoring, such as garlic powder, sriracha, onion powder, ground cumin, pepper, chili powder, or paprika.

Other leafy greens:Replace the fresh spinach with another variety of leafy greens, such as kale. Note that kale will only work with a high speed blender. A regular blender cannot break down the fibrous kale into a smooth batter.
