Ingredient Notes

1 cup chickpea flour (also called besan) – a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour. Substitute with regular flour for a non-gluten-free option. 2 tablespoons water – adjust as needed for batter consistency. 1 pound fresh spinach – can be replaced with kale or chard. 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese – goat cheese or a dairy-free cheese can be used as a substitute.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, mix the chickpea flour with water until smooth, then add a pinch of salt.
  2. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Step 2: In a skillet, cook the spinach until wilted, then mix in the feta cheese and remove from heat.
  4. Step 3: Pour the chickpea batter into the skillet, creating a thin pancake, cooking until golden on both sides.
  5. Step 4: Once cooked, spread the spinach and feta mixture over the tortilla, roll it up tightly, and slice into bite-sized pieces.

Things I’ve Learned

The batter should have a pancake-like consistency; if too thick, add more water. These roll-ups store well in the fridge for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the microwave. For meal prep, make tortillas ahead of time and fill them just before serving for the best texture.
