Ingredients

Here’s everything you need to make homemade spinach wraps: 

  • Fresh spinach: gets cooked down and gives these tortillas bright green color. 
  • Water: to steam the spinach. 
  • Gluten-free flour: must be a 1:1 all-purpose gluten-free flour. 
  • Baking powder: just a little to help the tortillas rise. 
  • Oil: makes them pliable and soft. 
  • Salt: enhances the other ingredient flavors. 

Grab the ingredient measurements and full directions in the printable recipe card below.

How to Make Gluten-Free Spinach Wraps

You’re about to be surprised at how easy it is to make spinach wraps from scratch! Here’s what to do: 

  1. Prepare the spinach
    Cook the spinach down in boiling water. Reserve a small amount of water, drain the spinach and transfer it to a blender. Blend until smooth. 
  2. Mix the dough
    Mix flour, baking powder, oil, and salt in a large bowl. Add the spinach puree and stir to combine until a dough forms. 
  3. Roll it out
    Line a flat surface with a silicone mat or parchment paper and place the dough on top. Divide it into 6 pieces and roll each section into a ball.
  4. Make the tortillas
    On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out each ball into an 8 to 10-inch tortilla. 
  5. Cook
    In a large non-stick pan, cook each tortilla over medium heat until it begins to bubble. Flip and cook the other side for 30 seconds, remove from heat and repeat with remaining tortillas. 

Watch how they’re made in this quick recipe video.

How to Store Gluten-Free Spinach Wraps

You can store the unused dough in a zip bag and refrigerate it for up to a week and make fresh wraps as needed. You can also refrigerate leftover wraps flat in a large zip bag in the refrigerator for up to a week and heat them up before using them in a pan or for 10-seconds in the microwave.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups packed spinach, cleaned and stems removed
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour, I use King Arthur GF Flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 4 tablespoons oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, cook the spinach and water over medium heat until soft.
  • Drain the excess water from the spinach, and set it aside for use in the dough.
  • Place the spinach in a food processor (or blender) and process until smooth.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, oil, and salt. Mix until crumbly.
  • Add the reserved water from cooking the spinach, slowly as needed, until a smooth dough is formed.
  • Divide the dough into equal parts, then roll into thin circles (dust with flour, as needed). Try to achieve about a 6-inch tortilla.
  • Heat in a pan, one at a time, on the stove on medium heat. Toast on each side until it starts to bubble or golden dots appear.
  • Serve with your favorite fillings!

    I made these and they came out perfect!!! (However I’m not GF so I just used 3/4 spelt white and 1/4 spelt w/m). I also tried these with a grated raw beet (my son wanted a rainbow lunch) and they too came out perfect!! It’s a definite to roll them between two bits of baking paper, but awesome recipe especially as my son won’t eat veg! .. I might try it with corn? Chop up curnals?

    This was a great recipe! The dough was a little sticky but a trick that I used was to line a Corelle dinner plate with parchment paper, put a ball of dough on top, then add another piece of parchment paper and another Corelle plate (stacked) to press down and flatten it out. Therefore, the sticky dough on your hands was minimal and you were able to more easily transfer it to your stove top pan. Thanks for sharing this recipe, it will definitely be in our rotation!

    I was a bit disappointed because my dough came out a sticky, gloppy mess. I had to add a lot more flour and re-shape them by hand (or they fell apart) resulting in thicker, small tortillas. Perhaps I needed to purée the spinach more smoothly (it wasn’t completely creamed) because the spinach didn’t fill up my food processor. I also found the original recipe more helpful because of the step by step photos. Especially if you’re new to making this kind of thing. The taste was ok, I would add some garlic salt next time as they are a bit bland. My daughter did eat one with cheese so it was somewhat successful (though I wouldn’t call it a hit) Also, I did not use the spinach water (used other warmed water) as I always thought it wasn’t good to use water the spinach cooked in (too much iron) Did anyone else encounter this problem and how to fix the dough? Maybe it’s in the practice, I don’t know…

      When you take them out of the fridge make sure you give them a nice warm on a pan on low heat… brings back the flexibility of the tortilla.

      I have been making tortillas with oat flour, no problem and delicious! The only difference is you will usually need more water to get a smooth dough.. Oat absorbs more water than other flours. Just add a little extra water at a time and keep working the dough until it’s the proper consistency.

    I LOVE the idea of these, but I admit I am a bit concerned about the amount of spinach since I already drink green smoothies daily. Please post variations of this recipe using other veggies. I know you have one without veggies, but it would be nice to make tortillas with more nutritional value without risking bleeding to death next time I cut myself. :)

        Tricia,

        Greens are incredibly high in Vitamin K, which is a blood thinner.

          Actually, it’s the opposite. Vitamin K helps your body make the factors it needs to CLOT blood, so it helps your body to STOP bleeding. In fact, it is given as an antidote (reversal) to Warfarin (a medication that is used to thin blood in patients at high risk for unwanted clots). Don’t worry, too much spinach will NOT make you bleed easier, nor will it cause a healthy person to have unwanted clots. The only people who should stay away from spinach and vitamin K are those that were advised from their doctor too and who are on medications like Warfarin/Coumadin.

          Stay healthy!

            The recipe tastes great but my tortillas were a bit crumbly. I have made GF tortillas before–not sure why these ones were so crumbly. Any ideas?

          • MOMables says

            March 20, 2015 at 3:33 pm

            the only difference is probably based on the gf flour used. additional water might have been needed to create a smooth dough.

          Oops you have it backwards. Vitamin K does the opposite. It aids in the clotting process when needed. It is important in bone health as well. I am a dietitian and you don’t need to worry about vitamin K intake unless you are on a blood thinner and are at risk for a blood clot. Leafy greens are one of the highest in antioxidants and other essential nutrients and should be consumed as much as possible to prevent disease.

    If we’re not gluten free can I just substitute our normal whole wheat flour or will other ingredients need to be adjusted?
