Melt In Your Mouth Homemade Spinach Tortillas Recipes

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.

HOMEMADE SPINACH TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium heat. Rinse the spinach and add it damp to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Then transfer into a colander, drain and run under cold water. (*Or simply thaw frozen spinach).
• Add the spinach into a blender along with the oil and salt. Blend until smooth.
• Place the flour and baking powder in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
• Add spinach puree and a little water (*see recipe notes. I added 1/4 cup). Mix to combine with your hands and knead until a soft dough forms, about 5 minutes. (If the dough seems to dry, add a little more water. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour).
• 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.
• Dust a work surface with a little flour, if needed. Form each part into a ball and, using a rolling pin, flatten to make a 8-/10-inch disc.
• Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the tortilla for 1-2 minutes or until brown spots appear. Then flip and cook from the other side.
• Enjoy!

SPINACH QUESADILLA RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a 10 or 12-inch nonstick skillet with a lid over medium heat.
• Add the spinach in. Put the lid on and let it cook for 3-4 minutes or until spinach starts to lose most of its volume. Add in the garlic, Tangy Bang sauce and season it with salt and pepper and and give it a stir. Transfer the now-fully cooked spinach onto a plate and set it aside. Clean the skillet with a paper towel and set it aside. No need to wash it.
• To assemble the tortillas, lay 4 flour tortillas on a flat surface, add ½ cup shredded cheese on one half of each tortilla. Divide the cooked spinach amongst the tortillas mounting it onto the cheese. Fold the other half over the filling.
• Place the skillet over medium heat. Brush each tortilla with melted butter and transfer 2 of them onto the skillet. Cook 1-2 minutes on each side (or until it turns golden brown). Once cooked, transfer them onto a cutting board to cool off. Repeat the same process with the rest of the quesadillas.
• Slice them into wedges. If using, garnish with cilantro leaves. Serve with more Tangy Bang sauce and sour cream on the side for dipping.
