Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Baking powder
• 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1.25 cups Hot water
• 0.5 cups Roasted red peppers (jarred or freshly roasted)
• 2 cups Fresh spinach
• 1 cloves Garlic clove (optional, for spinach tortillas)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.

Step 2

Add the vegetable oil and mix with your hands or a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Divide the dry mixture evenly into two bowls—one for red pepper tortillas and one for spinach tortillas. Set aside.

Step 4

In a blender or food processor, puree the roasted red peppers until smooth. Measure out 1/2 cup of puree.

Step 5

In the same blender, puree the spinach and optional garlic with a small amount of hot water (about 3 tablespoons) until smooth. Measure out 1/2 cup of the spinach mixture.

Step 6

In the first bowl of dry ingredients, mix 1/2 cup red pepper puree with 1/2 cup hot water. Stir until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.

Step 7

In the second bowl of dry ingredients, mix 1/2 cup spinach puree with 1/2 cup hot water. Stir until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.

Step 8

Once rested, divide each dough into 6 equal portions (12 total). Roll each portion into a ball.

Step 9

On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll each dough ball into a thin circle, about 8 inches in diameter.

Step 10

Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each tortilla for 30-40 seconds on the first side, until you see bubbles forming and light brown spots appear.

Step 11

Flip the tortilla and cook for another 20-30 seconds on the other side. Remove and stack cooked tortillas on a clean towel to keep them warm.

Step 12

Repeat with the remaining dough balls. Serve immediately or cool completely and store in an airtight bag for up to 3 days.
