How Do You Make Spinach Wrap From Scratch?

- Combine spinach, flour, salt, and water in a blender. Blend until smooth.

Are Spinach Wraps Good for You?
Spinach tortilla wraps are an excellent substitute for regular flour tortillas. With about 116 calories per wrap and loaded with fiber and protein, they are one of the healthiest types of wraps to serve.
Are Spinach Wraps Vegan?
Made with 4 ingredients, baby spinach, spelt flour, cold water, and table salt, spinach wraps are not only delicious but vegan as well.
Are Spinach Wraps Gluten-free?
Spinach wraps are gluten-free when made with gluten-free flour instead of all-purpose flour.
Is a Spinach Wrap Keto?
A spinach wrap made by substituting almond flour or flaxseed meal for spelt flour is extra low in carbs and can be part of a Keto meal plan.

Spinach wraps are available at major supermarkets and local delis. You can also buy them online.

Instructions

- Add the spinach, flour, water, and salt to a blender. Blend for 20-30 seconds or until smooth.
- Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat (see note). Pour ½ cup of the batter into the center of the pan and spread out to about 12-inch diameter using a rubber spatula or trowel spreader.
- Cook for about 1 ½ minutes until lightly browned underneath. Flip and cook on the other side for one minute more.

Easy recipe produced a true wrap rather than the tortillas I saw on other pages
Hi Eric, glad that you like the recipe. Thanks for letting me know. Izzy
Thank you for this recipe. Very simple and I will substitute the all purpose flour for a gluten free flour.
These are great wraps! Very easy to prepare and cook (once you get the knack of spreading them out) they’re also really tasty and much healthier than any store bought wraps. Thank you!
Do you know if these can be gluten free and what the best substitute for the flour would be? Thank you!
