Homemade Spinach Tortillas Gluten Free Recipes

HOMEMADE GLUTEN FREE SPINACH TORTILLA RECIPE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, simmer together spinach and water. Cook 2-3 minutes or until wilted. Add to a blender and blend until silky smooth. You should have exactly 1 cup spinach. Strain if you have any small bits. Add honey and oil to spinach mixture, stir.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cassava flour and salt. Slowly pour in hot spinach mixture into cassava flour. If using a stand mixer, whisk for 2 minutes with a flat beater attachment. If mixing dough by hand, use a danish dough whisk or rubber scrape
• You can now heat your cast iron skillet to medium low heat.
• Take a ball of dough and roll it into a disk. Dust your surface with tapioca flour and roll dough out to 6 inches wide. Be sure to continue dusting with flour throughout if needed to prevent dough from sticking. Use a pizza spatula to lift tortillas onto skillet since these tortillas are very delicate.
• Place your tortilla on the skillet and flip once bubbles have formed, about 15-30 seconds. Flip again and once brown spots have coated both sides, place tortilla in a tortilla warmer or aluminum foil to steam.
• Repeat with remaining tortillas. Serve warm or use at room temperature as wraps. Enjoy!

GRAIN-FREE SPINACH TORTILLAS {2 INGREDIENTS, VEGAN}

Steps:

• In a blender, process, the chickpea flour, water, spinach and salt until blended and completely smooth, stopping to scrape down sides of blender once or twice, as needed.
• Transfer batter to a glass measuring cup or pitcher (for easy pouring); cover and let rest for at least 1 hour or for up to 48 hours.
• Heat a medium, nonstick skillet (I used seasoned cast iron) that has been lightly oiled over medium-high heat.
• Pour about 1/3 cup batter into the pan, quickly tilting in all directions to cover bottom of pan. Cook for about 45 seconds, until it's just golden at the edges. With a spatula, carefully lift an edge of the tortilla to test for doneness. The tortilla is ready to turn when it is golden brown on the bottom and can be shaken loose from the pan. Turn the tortilla over and cook for 15 to 30 seconds, until it realease easily from the pan.
• Transfer the tortilla to a cooling rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining batter, oiling the skillet and adjusting the heat as necessary between tortillas, stacking the cooled tortillas between sheets of waxed paper to prevent sticking.

HEALTHY SPINACH TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Process all ingredients in your food processor or blender until the batter is smooth. Use 1 cup of water if you plan to make thicker/smaller tortillas for tacos. Use about 1 1/8 cup of water if you want to make thinner/bigger tortillas for e.g. burritos.
• Pour about 1/3 cup of the batter into a non-stick skillet. You can add a few drops of oil to the skillet but I made the experience that the tortillas turn out great without oil. Make sure to use a non-stick skillet.
• Cook for two minutes on low-medium heat, flip the tortilla and cook on the other side for about one minute. Enjoy your healthy spinach tortillas!

HOMEMADE SPINACH TORTILLAS (GLUTEN FREE)

Steps:

• In a saucepan, add the spinach and water, bringing to a small boil, covered. Allow to wilt for 5 minutes. Place in a blender and mix until smooth.
• Whisk together the flour and salt in a medium bowl.. Add the spinach puree and olive oil into the flour mix. Add 1 tablespoon of water if the flour mix is too dry. Add more water (if needed) until the dough does not stick to your fingers. Be sure to break the dough in half and feel the inside too. If too sticky add a tablespoon of flour at a time until smooth. Create two smooth balls and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
• Heat a nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Create 3 equal-sized balls from each dough ball. Roll between two pieces of parchment paper.
• Heat the tortilla for one minute on each side or until nice brown spots develop. Place in a tortilla warmer or on a plate covered with a tea towel.

SPINACH TORTILLAS RECIPE

Steps:

• In a heatproof bowl, pour the boiling water over the spinach. When the spinach is bright green and wilted, about 2 minutes, drain the water using a strainer.
• Add the flour, salt, and butter to the food processor and pulse until combined. Add the spinach and process until fully combined with the flour, stopping and scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Then turn on the food processor and slowly pour in the room temperature water until a dough forms. Test the dough with your fingers to make sure it sticks together and is not crumbly or sticky. Adjust the flour and water if necessary.
• Remove the dough from the food processor, form it into a ball, and knead it for about 30 seconds until smooth. Then place the dough on a clean counter, cover it with an inverted bowl, and let it sit for 20 minutes.
• Divide the dough into 10 even balls. Smash all dough balls into flat disks. On a flat un-floured surface, roll each ball into a very thin round circle, about 8 inches wide. (You may want to use a ruler to measure so that you can make all of your circles an even size.)
• Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook each tortilla about 30 seconds on one side, then 15 to 30 on the other, until cooked through and faint light brown spots form on the second side. When the tortilla is cooked, place it on a plate covered with a clean towel. This process is easiest done with two people, one rolling and one cooking. If you're by yourself, roll 2 tortillas and cook them, place them on the plate with the towel and then roll the next tortillas.
• To store the tortillas, wrap them in a towel and place them in a sealable plastic bag in the refrigerator. Reheat or bring to room temperature before serving.

• Shape dough is into a ball, cover (or wrap in foil), and chill for 15-20 minutes.
• Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions, depending of your desired Tortilla size.

Place a ball of dough on the lower plate, just off center toward the hinge of the press. Close the upper plate and press with the lever until the dough reaches the edge. Release the lever and gently lift the upper plate off of the tortilla, leaving the plastic wrap in contact with the tortilla. With your fingers grab the edge of the plastic wrap and lift the tortilla off the bottom plate and place it flat on a baking sheet, leaving the tortilla in the plastic wrap until ready to use. Repeat with the rest of the dough. You can stack the tortillas three high on a baking sheet, keeping them as flat as you can.
• Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 1 hour, or until the tortillas are stiff and you are ready to serve them.
