Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Warm water
Directions
Step 1
Begin by rinsing the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly under cold water. Once cleaned, steam the spinach in a pot with a small amount of water for about 3-4 minutes until wilted.
Step 2
Remove the spinach from heat, drain any excess water, and let it cool slightly. Once cooled, finely chop the spinach or puree it in a food processor if you prefer a smoother texture.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt. Add the chopped or pureed spinach along with olive oil to the flour mix.
Step 4
Gradually add warm water to the mixture while stirring continuously until you form a dough. The dough should not be too sticky or too dry. Adjust with a bit more water or flour as necessary.
Step 5
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
Step 6
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each piece into a ball. Flatten each ball with a rolling pin into a thin tortilla, about 6-8 inches in diameter.
Step 7
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each tortilla for about 1 minute on each side until golden spots appear and it puffs slightly.
Step 8
Remove the cooked tortillas and keep them warm under a clean kitchen towel as you cook the rest.
Step 9
Serve immediately or store in a resealable plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on a skillet or microwave before serving.
