Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup (120 g) chickpea flour (also called garbanzo bean flour)
- ½ cup (60 g) tapioca flour/starch
- ⅓ tsp salt
Fresh Ingredients
- 2 oz (60 g) fresh baby spinach leaves
Liquids
- 1 – 1 ⅛ cup (260 ml) water (adjust based on desired tortilla thickness)
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: Combine all ingredients—chickpea flour, tapioca flour, salt, fresh spinach, and water—in a food processor or blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, forming a batter. Use 1 cup of water for thicker, smaller tortillas or up to 1 1/8 cup for thinner, larger tortillas.
- Heat the skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet over low to medium heat. You may add a few drops of oil if desired, but it’s not necessary, as the tortillas cook well without it.
- Cook the tortillas: Pour approximately 1/3 cup of the batter onto the hot skillet, spreading it gently if needed. Cook for about two minutes on the first side until the edges lift slightly and the bottom is set.
- Flip and finish cooking: Carefully flip the tortilla and cook for an additional one minute on the second side until fully cooked and lightly browned.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove the tortilla from the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm and enjoy these healthy spinach tortillas as wraps, tacos, or burritos.
Notes
- Adjust water quantity to control tortilla thickness and size.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and avoid using oil if preferred for a lighter option.
- Spinach adds flavor, color, and nutrition but can be substituted with other leafy greens like kale or swiss chard.
- These tortillas are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently before serving.
- Ensure the skillet is not too hot to avoid burning the tortillas.
