A stack of homemade spinach and beans tortillas with golden-brown spots, slightly charred edges, and a soft texture. The tortillas have a subtle green hue from the spinach and are neatly arranged on a plate with a cloth partially covering them to keep them warm.

Spinach and Beans Tortillas

This recipe was created by my wife to utilize some leftover spinach.
You can use either corn flour or wheat flour, as you prefer.


Ingredients for 20 tortillas:

  • 300g of spinach
  • A can of pinto beans (about 230g drained)
  • A can of black beans (about 230g drained)
  • 3 eggs
  • 300g of flour

Directions:

Preparing the Dough

  • Add the drained beans, spinach, and eggs to a blender and blend until homogeneous.
  • Take the blended mixture out of the blender and mix in the flour of your choice until the mixture reaches a playdough-like texture.
  • If the dough is too wet or sticky, add one tablespoon of flour at a time, mixing after each addition, until you achieve the right texture.
  • Let the dough rest, covered, for 30 minutes.

Cooking the tortillas

  • Preheat a pan on medium-high heat (6.5/10 on my stove).
  • Prepare a dish with a towel to wrap the cooked tortillas.
  • Take a piece of dough about the size of a ping-pong ball.
  • If you have a tortilla press, press the dough between two pieces of baking paper. Otherwise, place it between two pieces of baking paper and roll it to the desired thickness.
  • Cook the tortilla in the pan WITHOUT any oil until golden-brown spots appear.
  • Do not flip the tortilla before it hardens on one side. Afterward, you can flip it as needed to ensure even cooking.
  • When cooked, stack the tortillas in the towel to keep them warm and slightly soften them.

Enjoy 😉
