Ingredients for 3 Large Spinach Tortillas
Note: To increase the quantity, simply remember—each egg makes one large tortilla, about 22 cm (8.5 inches) in diameter.
– 1½ Cups Fresh Spinach (Approximately 50 g) :
Spinach is a nutritional powerhouse, loaded with fiber, iron, magnesium, and essential vitamins like A, C, and K. Not only does it bring a beautiful, vibrant green color to your tortillas, but it also lends a delicate, light texture to the batter. A perfect ingredient to energize your body and support your immune system.
– 3 Eggs :
Eggs serve as the base and binder for this recipe. Rich in high-quality protein and healthy fats, they ensure the tortillas are soft yet sturdy. They’re also packed with vitamins D and B12, along with choline—a vital nutrient for brain health. These humble ingredients are what give the tortillas their tender bite and satisfying richness.
– ½ Teaspoon Ground Coriander (Optional but Recommended)
A gentle touch of ground coriander adds a hint of citrusy warmth and aids digestion. It’s a subtle aromatic that complements the spinach beautifully. Coriander is also known for its antioxidant properties.
– ¼ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
Garlic powder infuses the batter with depth and a savory kick. Mild and easy to use, it delivers classic garlic flavor without overpowering the other ingredients. Plus, it offers antimicrobial and immune-boosting benefits.
– A Pinch of Salt
Just enough to enhance the natural flavors without overwhelming them. Salt is the seasoning that ties everything together, elevating the freshness of the spinach and the richness of the eggs.
Step-by-Step Guide to Perfect Spinach Tortillas
Here’s a simple and foolproof method to make these light, nutritious, and flavor-packed spinach tortillas at home:
1. Add All Ingredients to a Blender : Place the fresh spinach, eggs, garlic powder, ground coriander (if using), and a pinch of salt into a high-speed blender.
Tip: Adding the seasonings directly enhances the depth of flavor and makes the batter perfectly seasoned from the start.
2. Blend Until Smooth : Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and liquid in texture.
Don’t worry if the batter seems thin—this is ideal for spreading evenly in the pan, ensuring delicate, crepe-like tortillas.
3. Heat the Pan with Olive Oil : Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of olive oil into a non-stick frying pan.
Start on high heat to get the pan hot, then reduce to medium before pouring the batter. This helps prevent sticking and promotes even browning.
4. Pour and Spread the Batter : Using a ladle, pour a scoop of batter into the center of the pan.
Immediately tilt and swirl the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter into a thin, even layer—aim for around 22 cm (8.5 inches) in diameter.
5. Cook the First Side : Let the tortilla cook until the surface appears dry and matte, and turns a rich, darker green.
The underside should be lightly golden with crisp edges—this usually takes about 1–2 minutes.
6. Flip Carefully : Using a wide, flexible silicone spatula, gently lift and flip the tortilla.
A soft spatula helps prevent tearing and keeps your tortilla beautifully intact.
7. Finish Cooking the Other Side : Cook for another 2–3 minutes, until fully set and lightly golden on the second side.
You’re aiming for a soft but firm texture, perfect for wrapping or folding without breaking.
8. Repeat : Continue with the rest of the batter until all tortillas are cooked. Stack them on a plate and keep covered with a clean towel to retain softness.
