Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Baby spinach
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.75 cups Hot water
Instructions
Rinse the baby spinach under cold water and drain well.
Place the spinach and hot water in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and vibrant green.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
Add the blended spinach mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until the dough comes together.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is soft, smooth, and slightly elastic.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Cover the dough balls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rest for 10 minutes.
After resting, roll out each dough ball into a thin circle (about 6-8 inches in diameter) on a floured surface using a rolling pin.
Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for 30-45 seconds on one side, then flip and cook the other side for another 30-45 seconds. The tortillas should develop small brown spots and puff slightly.
Transfer the cooked tortillas to a clean kitchen towel and keep them covered to stay warm and soft.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet before using.
