Gluten-Free Spinach Wraps: A Nutritious and Delicious Option
If you’re looking for a tasty way to sneak more greens into your meals, these gluten-free spinach wraps are a game changer! Spinach isn’t just a superfood; it’s also a fantastic base for wraps that are light, flavorful, and packed with nutrients.
Why Spinach is So Good for You
Spinach is like a nutritional powerhouse. It’s loaded with vitamins A, C, and K, plus a healthy dose of iron, which is great for keeping your energy levels up. It’s also high in fiber and antioxidants, helping to support digestion and overall health. Whether you’re trying to eat more veggies or just love the fresh taste, spinach is a great ingredient to include in your diet.
What’s in These Gluten-Free Wraps?
These wraps are simple but packed with goodness. Here’s what I used:
Spinach: The star of the show, bringing that vibrant green color and all those health benefits.
Eggs: To bind everything together and add some extra protein.
Chives: For a little bit of oniony flavor that complements the spinach perfectly.
Oats: I used gluten-free oats to give the wraps some body and a nice texture.
Chickpea Flour: Adds a bit of nutty flavor and keeps the wraps gluten-free.
Salt: Just a pinch to bring out all the flavors.
Why You’ll Love These Wraps

Ingredients
Instructions
- Place the fresh spinach, eggs, and 1/4 cup of water into the blender.
- Add the gluten-free oats, chickpea flour, chopped chives, and a pinch of salt to the blender.
- Blend until the spinach is completely pureed and the mixture is smooth. You may need to stop the blender occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure everything is mixed evenly.
- Check the consistency of the batter. It should be thick but pourable, similar to pancake batter. If it’s too thick, add a bit more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and blend again.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Once hot, pour a portion of the batter (about 1/4 cup) directly onto the skillet. Use the back of a spoon to spread it out into a thin circle.
- Cook the tortilla for 2-3 minutes on one side until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown.
- Flip the tortilla using a spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the cooked tortilla from the skillet and set it aside. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve your green tortillas warm with your favorite fillings or use them as a wrap.
