Maria & Ricardo's Original Spinach Tortillas
What it is
These are soft, pliable flour tortillas infused with spinach. The spinach is finely incorporated, giving the tortillas a subtle green hue and a mild, earthy flavor. They are designed for easy rolling and folding, making them a versatile base for a variety of dishes. The texture is smooth and slightly chewy, characteristic of a good quality flour tortilla.
How people cook with it
These spinach tortillas are excellent for creating flavorful wraps and quesadillas. Their mild taste complements many fillings.
- Breakfast burritos
- Lunch wraps
- Quesadillas
- Snack rolls
To best enjoy their soft texture, warm the tortillas before filling. You can heat them briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-20 seconds per side until pliable. Alternatively, microwave them wrapped in a damp paper towel for 20-30 seconds. Once warmed, they are ready to be filled with your favorite ingredients and rolled or folded into your desired shape. They hold up well to various fillings without tearing.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to plain flour tortillas, these have a distinct green color and a very mild spinach undertone. They are not as sweet as some corn tortillas and offer a different texture profile. The added spinach provides a subtle difference in both appearance and flavor.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a flavorful and colorful alternative to standard flour tortillas will appreciate these.
How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the package tightly to maintain freshness. Store the remaining tortillas in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, they can be refrigerated, but allow them to come to room temperature before warming to ensure maximum pliability.
