A vibrant twist on tradition, these green, soft oat flour tortillas are perfect for tacos, wraps, and quesadillas. Inspired by the Mexican classic, this recipe blends tradition and creativity.
In a blender or food processor, blend the rolled oats until they form a fine flour.
Sift the ground oat flour through a fine sieve into a bowl to remove any larger pieces or lumps. If needed, you can pulse the larger pieces of oats again to make sure the flour is fine enough.
Place the spinach in the blender with water and salt, then blend until nicely smooth.
Strain the spinach mixture in a pan and add salt. Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a simmer.
Low the heat to the lower and then add the oat flour to the pan while mixing with a spatula.
Cook for 2-3 minutes combining everything with a spatula until a soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a working surface and cover with a kitchen towel. Allow to rest for 5 minutes or until is cool enough to work with your hands.
Slightly oil your hands and knead the dough for one minute.
Form a log with the dough and and divide in 10 equally pieces. Form balls with the dough and cover them with a damp kitchen towel.
Shape & cook the tortillas
Heat a comal or a griddle over medium-high heat.
Place a dough ball between two sheets of plastic wrap. Gently press it into a flat patty shape. Using a tortilla press, flatten the dough into a 5.5-inch round (alternatively, you can use a heavy dish).
Place the raw tortilla onto the hot skillet and cook for 45-50 seconds on each side. Flip again and cook for another 15-20 seconds until it puffs up.
Wrap the cooked tortilla in a kitchen towel and continue with the remaining dough until you have 10 tortillas.
Notes
These tortillas will freeze beautifully. Allow them to cool down and wrap them with plastic wrap, then freeze for up to 2 months.
When ready to eat, thaw overnight and reheat in a griddle or comal until nicely soft and pliable again.
