Spinach Tomato Tortillas Recipes

MAKE YOUR OWN FLAVORED TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Base: Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the room temperature butter and mix together with forks or a pastry cutter until dough forms loose crumbs.
• Flavor: To make flavor add-ins, blend together water and your flavor addition of choice to form a smooth liquid. If the blended mix is below 1 cup, add warm water to reach 1 cup total.
• Combine: Stir flavored water into the dough until a loose ball is formed. Transfer to a floured surface and knead about 50 times until a smooth dough is formed, adding more flour as needed to prevent the dough from sticking.
• Rest: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest 15 minutes.
• Roll: Cut ball into 16 pieces, then roll into balls. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for another 15 minutes.
• Cook: Heat a heavy-bottomed pan, like a cast iron skillet, over medium/high heat. Working in batches, roll a dough ball out 6 to 8 inches then transfer to the pan (leave remaining dough under plastic). Cook for about 2 minutes until bubbles have formed on top and bottom has light tan spots. Flip and continue cooking another 1 minute. Adjust heat as needed to avoid burning. Wrap cooked tortillas in a towel until you've finished cooking them all.

TORTILLAS WITH SPINACH AND MOZZARELLA CHEESE

Steps:

• Roughly chop the spinach, discarding stalks. Stuff it into a large saucepan with 250 ml of water and jam on the lid. Bring to the boil and cook gently for 5 minutes until it wilts to a glossy green mass. Remove, drain and cool. When cool, squeeze the spinach in your hands to wring out excess water. Chop finely and set aside.
• Slice the cheese finely and set aside. Heat a non-stick frying pan for 1 minute over a moderate heat. Lay out 4 tortillas and spread each one with a quarter of the spinach, right to the edges. Arrange slices of cheese over the top and scatter with salt and pepper. Top with another tortilla.
• Place one tortilla sandwich in the hot pan and dry-fry for 2 - 3 minutes until the cheese just starts to soften. Turn carefully and fry on the other side. Slide out of the pan onto a plate and keep warm while you make the remaining sandwiches. Cut each one into six wedges and serve.

CHICKEN, FETA CHEESE, AND SUN-DRIED TOMATO WRAPS

Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine chicken breasts and 1/4 cup dressing. Seal, and refrigerate for several hours.
• Preheat grill for high heat. Combine sun-dried tomatoes and hot water in a small bowl. Set aside for 10 minutes, drain, and cut tomatoes into thin slices.
• Lightly oil grill grate. Discard marinade, and place chicken on grill. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning once, or until done.
• Cut chicken into strips, and place in a medium bowl with sliced tomatoes, feta, and spinach. Toss with remaining 1/4 cup dressing. Distribute mixture between the four tortillas, and wrap. Either cut in half and enjoy cold, or place briefly back on grill until the tortilla turns warm and crispy.
