Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Heart-healthy olive oil
- 0.75 cup Warm water
Directions
Step 1
Begin by blanching the spinach: Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the spinach. Let it cook for about 1 minute until wilted, then immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
Step 2
Drain the spinach, squeezing out excess moisture, and blend it into a smooth puree using a blender or food processor.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 4
Add the spinach puree and olive oil to the dry ingredients, and begin mixing with your hands or a silicone spatula.
Step 5
Slowly add warm water to the mixture, starting with half of the amount, and mix until the dough begins to come together. Add more water as needed until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 6
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes. The dough should be supple but not sticky.
Step 7
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape them into balls. Cover with a damp cloth and let them rest for 10 minutes.
Step 8
On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball of dough into a thin circle, about 8 inches in diameter.
Step 9
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place one rolled tortilla in the skillet and cook for about 1 minute, or until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook the other side for another 30 seconds or until lightly browned.
Step 10
Remove the tortilla from the pan and cover with a clean towel to keep warm. Repeat with remaining dough.
Step 11
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy your heart-healthy spinach tortillas as wraps or flatbreads in your favorite meals!
