Spinach Sweet Potato Tortilla Recipes

SPINACH & SWEET POTATO TORTILLA

Steps:

• Put the spinach in a large colander and pour over a kettleful of boiling water. Drain well and, when cooled a little, squeeze dry, trying not to mush up the spinach too much.
• Heat 3 tbsp oil in a 25cm non-stick pan with a lid, then sweat the onions for 15 mins until really soft but not coloured. Add another 3 tbsp oil and add the potatoes and garlic. Mix in with the onions, season well, cover and cook over a gentle heat for another 15 mins or so until the potatoes are very tender. Stir occasionally to stop them catching.
• Whisk the eggs in a large bowl, tip in the cooked potato and onion, and mix together. Separate the spinach clumps, add to the mix and fold through, trying not to break up the potato too much.
• Add 2 tbsp more oil to the pan and pour in the sweet potato and egg mix. Cover and cook over a low-medium heat for 20 mins until the base and sides are golden brown and the centre has mostly set. Run a palette knife around the sides to stop it from sticking. 5 To turn the tortilla over, put a plate face down onto the pan, then flip it over. Slide the tortilla back into the pan and cook for a further 5-10 mins until just set and golden all over. (Don't worry if it breaks up a little on the edges as you're turning it - it will look perfect when it's cooked through and set.) Continue cooking on the other side until just set and golden all over. Again use a palette knife to release the tortilla from the sides. Allow to rest for 5 mins, then tip onto a board before cutting into wedges.

FETA, SPINACH AND SWEET POTATO WRAP

Steps:

• I do this in the food processor, but mostly it's also easy by hand.
• Chop the spinach and the feta cheese together so they form an evenly blended mass.
• Peel and chop the sweet potatoes and put them in water to cover.
• Bring to the boil, and cook until just tender.
• Dice the bell peppers and onion and set aside.
• When the potatotes are done, drain and stir in the spread and the curry spices, basil, garlic powder and sweetener. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spread the spinach and feta mix on the tortillas, dividing it evenly and making a flat bed.
• Place the potato chunks on top spreading them out.
• Top with the diced peppers and onion.
• Fold in the sides of the tortilla toward the middle, leaving about 1/3 open space in the middle (no the sides do not touch). Fold the bottom third over the two sides and then continue on folding until the tortilla is closed.
• Tuck in loose side edges.
• Bake in the oven at 425F until the tortillas brown and puff.
• Serve after a brief cooling as a hefty lunch.
