Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.75 cup warm water

Directions

Step 1

Begin by rinsing and draining the fresh spinach leaves to remove any dirt or debris.

Step 2

In a pot of boiling water, blanch the spinach for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Drain and squeeze out any excess moisture.

Step 3

In a blender or food processor, add the blanched spinach along with the warm water. Blend until smooth to form a spinach puree.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir to blend the dry ingredients.

Step 5

Add the spinach puree and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until the dough begins to come together.

Step 6

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Step 7

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each piece into a ball. Cover them with a clean towel to prevent drying.

Step 8

Using a rolling pin, flatten each dough ball into a thin circle, about 8 inches in diameter. Add more flour to the surface if necessary to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Heat a non-stick skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes per side until light brown spots appear.

Step 10

Remove the cooked tortillas from the skillet and place them on a plate. Cover with a clean towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining tortillas.

Step 11

Serve immediately or allow to cool before storing in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
