Ingredients

Spinach Tortillas

  • 200g fresh spinach

  • ¼ cup (60 ml) olive oil

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 3 cups (360 g) gluten-free flour

  • 1 tsp baking powder

Tunacado Mix

  • tin of tuna

  • 15g vegan cheese

  • 1/4 raw onion chopped

  • 1/2 avocado

  • 1/2 lemon juiced

  • tsp sesame seeds


Method

  • Start by wilting your spinach in a steamer, a pan or a microwave. Then transfer into a colander, drain and run under cold water.

  • Add the spinach into a blender along with oil and salt. Blend until smooth.

  • Place the flour and baking powder in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add spinach puree and a little water. Mix to combine with your hands and knead until a soft dough forms.Gage the consistency as you go - if more flour is required or more water, add accordingly.

  • Shape dough into a large ball, and chill for 20 minutes.

  • Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions. Dust a work surface with a little flour, if needed. Flatten the dough pieces to make 8-/10-inch disc shapes. Use a knife (or pizza cutter!) to create the circular tortilla shape.

  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the tortilla for 1-2 minutes or until brown spots appear. Then flip and cook on the other side.

  • Once all have been cooked, put to the side and prepare your tunacado filling. Crush half of an avocado in a bowl, then add your lemon juice and all of your other weighed ingredients to the mix. Once combined, put into the microwave for 1-2 mins (yes, the microwave! don't worry, this won't affect the ingredients, it will elevate the overall taste of the mix!)

  • Remove from the microwave, and pack the mixture into a tortilla, then close. Once tortilla is closed, use a sharp knife to slice it in half and serve with lemon wedges. Enjoy!
