2-Ingredient Spinach Tortillas {Vegan, Grain-Free} | power hungry (2024)

2-ingredient spinach tortillas , made with nothing more than chickpea flour & fresh spinach, plus water. They are 100% grain-free, vegan, oil-free, and scrumptious.

Hello, everyone! Forgive me for this belated post, which I had every intention of uploading on Friday, but got waylaid by a series of schedule changes and unforeseen events. All is well, but I have, nonetheless, been itching for the chance to sit down and get this out to all of you.

I think it is one you will enjoy as much as I do, mostly for the taste, but also for the minimal number of ingredients (two, other than water & salt) , easy prep, and versatility for all kinds of meals and snacks.

It’s my 2-ingredient spinach tortillas, made with chickpea flour and spinach. Considering that green is my favorite color, simply looking at these tortillas makes me happy.

2-Ingredient Spinach Tortilla Benefits

Here is a list of their attributes:

• Grain-free
• Vegan
• Gluten-free
• Oil-free
• Sugar-free
• Vegetable-packed

I always liked the idea of spinach tortillas, until I looked at the ingredients list on a package of spinach flour tortillas and saw spinach as the second-to-last ingredient, followed only by preservatives. Sigh. It’s not the case here; spinach is quite literally packed in to these verdant flatbreads.

How to Make 2-Ingredient Spinach Tortillas

The batter is made in seconds, in a blender: chickpea flour, spinach, water and salt are added all at once and liquefied to smoothie consistency.

It’s oh-so-tempting to make the tortillas straightaway, but it’s terribly important that you walk away and let the batter sit, for at least an hour, or for up to 2 days. It makes all of the difference when it comes to sticking: if the batter is left to sit, the tortillas are unlikely to stick to the pan.

How to Cook the Tortillas

Making the tortillas is a breeze once the batter is ready. It is more like making crepes than traditional tortillas.

Add a quick spritz of nonstick cooking spray (or a swipe of oil) to your favorite skillet. I use a well-seasoned, medium-size cast iron pan–seasoned cast iron pans are the best!

Heat the pan over medium-high heat. Pour in the batter, tilt and swirl to cover the pan, and cook each side until set (about 1 minute total).

The finished tortillas are simply wonderful, ready for use in your favorite Tex-Mex dishes, wraps, and so much more. The spinach has a neutral flavor, making these ideal for any filling you can imagine, or alongside stews and tagines, as a pick-up bread. I’ve even spread these with nut butter and jam, much to my son’s horror (he does not know what he is missing!)

Enjoy the remaining hours of your weekend, everyone! I have a slew of posts to share this week!

2-ingredient spinach tortillas, made with nothing more than chickpea flour & fresh spinach, plus water. They are 100% grain-free, vegan, and scrumptious.

Ingredients

• 1 and 1/4 cups (150 g) chickpea flour
• 1 and 1/3 cups (325 mL) water
• 1 and 1/4 cups packed fresh spinach leaves
• Optional: 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt (more or less to taste)

Instructions

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Heat a medium, nonstick skillet (I used seasoned cast iron) that has been lightly oiled over medium-high heat.
4. 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.
5. 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.

Notes

Storage: Store the cooled tortillas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or the freezer for up to 6 months. To ensure against any sticking, layer pieces of wax paper or parchment paper between the tortillas.

Variation: Replace some of the spinach with fresh herbs, such as basil, cilantro or parsley. Kale can be used in place of the spinach, however, the substitution works best if you have a high speed blender (the batter will not be completely smooth when pureeing the kale in a regular blender).
