Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Fresh spinach
- 240 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 150 milliliters Warm water
Instructions
Rinse and remove any tough stems from the fresh spinach, then place it in a saucepan with a few tablespoons of water. Cover and heat on medium until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Let it cool slightly.
Transfer the cooked spinach to a blender and blend until smooth. If necessary, add a tablespoon of additional warm water to help it blend.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
Add the blended spinach and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Slowly pour in warm water, mixing with a wooden spoon until a dough starts to form.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball into a flat circle, about 8 inches in diameter, ensuring they are even in thickness.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until they begin to bubble and have light brown spots.
Stack cooked tortillas on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and pliable until serving.
