Chickpea tortillas with spinach


Tell me if this sounds familiar: 
You've planned this great soft taco dinner night and you've prepared all these great bowls filled with tomatoes, lettuce, corn, beans....all these ingredients for each member of your family to create their own beautiful taco. After everyone has prepared their tacos and sat down, you look around and realize that your kids have plain tortillas (probably filled with just cheese if your a non-vegan family) and skipped all the other nutritious ingredients.

The tortilla itself seems like a big opportunity to jam some nutrition! That's where this recipe comes in.

Think of a cross between a pancake and a tortilla. That's what we have here. A savory pancake-like tortilla with loads of protein, iron, vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium...!! It's a winner!!

So easy to make. Just 3 ingredients:
Chickpea (Garbanzo Bean Flour), garlic powder, spinach (chopped up).

Recipe: 
(makes 4 tortillas)
1 cup Chickpea flour
1 cup water plus 3T water
1/4 t garlic powder
big handful spinach chopped up
a little salt and pepper

mix all ingredients together.
Heat up a skillet to med-high on the stove and add a bit of coconut oil to coat the pan (or spray with cooking spray). Pour in enough batter to make a small tortilla sized pancakes. when it starts to bubble a little (like a pancake) flip it and cook a bit longer on the other side. Repeat until enough tortillas are made. Let the tortillas cool on a rack as they are done. 

The tortillas alone taste great! 
Try with beans, corn, coleslaw OR roasted sweet potato with sauteed onions and green pepper! Anything that sounds good to you!
