What it is
These are soft, round flatbreads designed for making gorditas. They are made with flour and have a distinct green hue from spinach, infused with the savory flavors of garlic and pesto. The texture is pliable, making them easy to fold and fill, and they offer a unique taste profile compared to plain tortillas.

To prepare, gently warm the tortillas on a dry skillet or griddle over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable. Avoid overcooking, which can make them brittle.

They can also be used whole as a base for wraps or folded into pockets for a handheld meal.
