Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly, then blanch it in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Immediately transfer the spinach to an ice bath to cool, then drain well and squeeze out any excess water. Finely chop the spinach.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, tapioca starch, ground flaxseed, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.
Add the chopped spinach, warm water, and olive oil to the dry mixture. Stir the ingredients together until it forms a dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a small amount of gluten-free flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it is manageable.
Transfer the dough to a clean, lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until smooth and pliable.
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball. Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a thin, round tortilla about 8 inches in diameter. Use additional tapioca starch if needed to prevent sticking.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, cook each tortilla for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until bubbles form and light golden spots appear. Do not overcook, as the tortillas should remain soft and pliable.
Transfer the cooked tortillas to a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft as you cook the remaining tortillas.
These gluten-free spinach tortillas can be served immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before serving.
