Homemade Spinach Tortilla Recipe
 
 
Author:
Recipe type: Bread
Ingredients
  • 3 cups all purpose flour (I plan to try a combination of whole wheat & all purpose or bread flour in the future)
  • 1 ½ tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 4 tbsp. vegetable oil (or alternatively you can substitute with alternative oil choices but they may effect the taste slightly)
  • 4 oz. spinach, roughly chopped
  • ¾ cup milk
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl sift together flour, baking powder and salt.
  2. Add oil and stir until a crumbly dough forms, set aside.
  3. Heat milk in the microwave or on the stovetop until warm to the touch (about 30-45 seconds in the microwave) but not hot.
  4. In the bowl of a food processor or blender add spinach and milk and blend on high until smooth.
  5. Add wet ingredients to the dry and stir together. If too wet add additional flour a tablespoon at a time until you can work the dough without it sticking to your fingers. Turn out onto a flat surface and knead with your hands for 5 minutes.
  6. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  7. Once chilled, divide into 10-12 equal portions (I used a kitchen scale for this step but you can estimate) and roll them back into balls and cover with saran wrap.
  8. Heat a large flat-bottomed pan over medium heat.
  9. Lightly dust a flat surface with flour and a rolling pin and roll out balls individually into approximately 8 inch rounds as thin as you can get them (about ⅛ inch thick is desired---the thinner the dough the more soft and pliable the tortilla will be). Keep the surface lightly floured to prevent sticking as you work.
  10. Lift gently & place on the hot pan (no oil or spray needed) and cook each side for 20-30 seconds. You should see small bubbles form and a light gentle browning but you don’t want large bubbles to form or for them to swell up as they cook. They do not require much cook time. If they quickly bubble and swell reduce the heat. Watch closely while cooking.
  11. Use fresh and hot or cool completely then store in the fridge wrapped in plastic wrap or sealed in a Ziploc bag to be used over the next few days.
