4.1 from 15 reviews

These Healthy Spinach Tortillas are a nutritious and gluten-free alternative to regular tortillas, made with chickpea and tapioca flours combined with fresh baby spinach. They are quick to prepare, require minimal ingredients, and can be customized in thickness to suit tacos or burritos. Perfect for a wholesome meal or snack with a boost of protein and fiber from chickpea flour.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 7 tortillas

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup chickpea flour (also called garbanzo bean flour)
  • 1/2 cup tapioca flour/starch
  • 1/3 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 oz fresh baby spinach leaves
  • 1 to 1 1/8 cup water (adjust as needed for desired tortilla thickness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter. Process all the ingredients—chickpea flour, tapioca flour, fresh spinach leaves, salt, and water—in a food processor or blender until the batter is smooth and well combined. Use 1 cup of water for thicker, smaller tortillas suitable for tacos, or increase to 1 1/8 cup for thinner, larger tortillas ideal for burritos.
  2. Heat the skillet. Preheat a non-stick skillet over low to medium heat. While oil can be added, it is optional since the tortillas cook well without it, helping keep them healthy.
  3. Cook the tortillas. Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into the skillet, spreading lightly if needed. Cook for approximately 2 minutes on one side until set and slightly golden, then carefully flip and cook the other side for about 1 minute until cooked through.
  4. Serve and enjoy. Remove the tortilla from the skillet and repeat the process with remaining batter. Serve your healthy spinach tortillas warm as a delicious wrap or a base for various fillings.

Notes

  • Adjust water quantity to control tortilla thickness and size.
  • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and avoid the need for oil.
  • Fresh spinach adds nutrients and a mild flavor but can be substituted with other leafy greens if desired.
  • These tortillas are best consumed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for 1–2 days.
