Thought tortillas were a no-no in order to eat healthy? Think again!
Ingredients
Spinach Tortillas
- 5 cups fresh baby spinach, packed and chopped
- 1 tbsp. water
- 2 cups spelt flour
- 1/4 tsp. sea salt
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
Lunch Wrap
- 1 spinach tortila
- 1 1/2 tbsp. hummus
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 2 slices deli turkey breast
- 2 tsp. hot sauce, optional
Steps
Spinach Tortillas
- Add the spinach and water to a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-6 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted.
- Add the cooked spinach to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Add a tablespoon of water, as needed, to loosen. Set aside.
- Add the spelt flour, sea salt, and coconut oil to a medium mixing bowl, and stir together until a crumbly dough forms.
- Add the spinach puree into the dough and knead using your hands. (You can add water as needed until a smooth dough forms.)
- Continue kneading the dough for five minutes.
- Place the dough back into the mixing bowl and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
- Divide the dough into equally-sized balls.
- Place the dough balls onto a clean, floured surface and roll into a 10-12 inch tortilla with a rolling pin.
- Cook the tortilla on a hot griddle over medium-high heat for approximately 2 minutes per side, until edges begin to curl and brown spots appear.
- Repeat with remaining dough balls.
Lunch Wrap
- To make the lunch wrap, spread the hummus over the spinach tortilla, tomato, turkey, avocado, and then drizzled with hot sauce.
