Making the spinach tortillas – 1 hour

Stir together the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Add the sunflower oil and stir until the dough becomes crumbly, then set aside.

Heat the milk in a microwave, or in a small saucepan, until it is lukewarm. Place the fresh spinach in a blender and pour the lukewarm milk over it. PurΓ©e on high speed until smooth.

Pour the purΓ©ed spinach into a large bowl and stir in the flour mixture. Add more flour if you feel the mixture is slightly too wet. The dough should be firm enough to form a ball. The exact amount of flour depends on the spinach.

Knead the spinach dough with your hands, until smooth (around 5 minutes). Form into a ball and wrap with cling film. Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Dust the work surface and rolling pin with flour. Cut the spinach tortilla dough into 4 pieces. Roll out each piece of dough into a very thin round. Make each tortilla about 20 centimetres in diameter.

Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat; don't add anything to the pan. Fry the spinach tortillas, 1 by 1, in the hot, dry pan. Cook for a minute or two on each side, until brown spots appear.

Making the tortilla filling (optional) – 20 minutes

Chop the shallot, garlic clove, red chilli, 2 tomatoes, yellow pepper and cucumber into fine dice. Clean the chicken breasts and cut them into thin strips.

Heat the griddle pan over a high heat and grill the chicken strips for a few minutes on each side. Add a dash of olive oil to the large frying pan and sautΓ© the chopped shallot and garlic.

Add tomato, red chilli and yellow pepper. Mix everything well and season with salt and pepper.

Grab a spinach tortilla and spread it with a little sour cream. Top with the filling and fried chicken strips and fold the tortilla closed.

Repeat for the remaining spinach tortillas. Serve with diced cucumber and/or a bowl of tzatziki, if desired. Enjoy your meal!

We were surprised by the added flavors of the spinach, it also makes the tortillas a bit more crisp.
