Ingredients to make spinach pancakes:
- 300 grams of spinach
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoons of flour
- 1 glass of olive oil
- 1 pinch of salt
How to make spinach pancakes:
Wash the spinach, peel and chop the garlic. We have chosen to prepare the tortillas with fresh spinach, however, it is also possible to use frozen spinach.
We put a satin on the fire with a jet of oil. Heat it over medium heat and, once the oil is hot, sauté the garlic and spinach for a couple of minutes. Do not let the garlic burn, which is why we do not recommend leaving it in the pan for more than this time.
In a bowl we put the beaten eggs, a handful of grated cheese, the flour, a pinch of salt and the spinach sautéed with the garlic. We mix everything well to form the dough for the spinach tortillas. To make a lighter version, we recommend removing the cheese.
Put a frying pan with oil over medium heat and, once hot, add portions of dough with a spoon to form the tortillas. To make them thin, we recommend spreading the dough a little with the same spoon and not adding too many at once. We let them cook on one side and when they are a little golden we turn them over to cook them on the other.
When they are golden on both sides, we take them out and leave them on kitchen paper to remove the excess oil.
And they are ready to eat! The recipe for spinach tortillas is very simple and quick to make, so in a short time we can have a delicious snack ready.
