Best 5 Tortilla De Espinaca Recipes

HOMEMADE SPINACH TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium heat. Rinse the spinach and add it damp to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Then transfer into a colander, drain and run under cold water. (*Or simply thaw frozen spinach).
• Add the spinach into a blender along with the 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 (*see recipe notes. I added 1/4 cup). Mix to combine with your hands and knead until a soft dough forms, about 5 minutes. (If the dough seems to dry, add a little more water. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour).
• Shape dough is into a ball, cover (or wrap in foil), and chill for 15-20 minutes.
• Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions, depending of your desired Tortilla size.
• Dust a work surface with a little flour, if needed. Form each part into a ball and, using a rolling pin, flatten to make a 8-/10-inch disc.
• Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the tortilla for 1-2 minutes or until brown spots appear. Then flip and cook from the other side.
• Enjoy!

SPINACH, BACON AND POTATO OMELET: TORTILLA DE PAPA Y CARNE DE CERDO CON ESPINACA

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• Arrange the bacon on a baking sheet in a single layer. Place under the broiler, cook for 4 minutes, remove from the oven and flip each piece to its opposite side. Place back under the broiler and cook until crisp. Remove from the baking sheet and drain on 3 paper towels. Set aside.
• Boil the potatoes in 2 to 3 cups of water until tender. Drain and set aside.
• In a 12-inch nonstick oven proof saute pan heat the olive oil and butter on medium heat. Add the sofrito and stir-fry until golden brown. Add the potatoes and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste. Beat the eggs until fluffy and add the spinach, mix well.
• Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes and shake the pan a bit while the eggs begin to set. Using a heat resistant spatula pull the egg mixture from the sides of the pan slightly tipping the pan in the same direction allowing the eggs to fill up the space. Repeat 2 or 3 more times going around entire pan. Place the pan under the broiler for 10 minutes or until golden brown on top.
• Cut into wedges and serve with warm crusty bread or whole-grain toast!

TORTILLA DE PATATAS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep stockpot over medium-high heat until almost smoking, 2 to 4 minutes. Add potatoes and onion; they should be mostly covered with oil. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Cook, stirring occasionally and maintaining a gentle simmer, until potatoes are just fork-tender, 8 to 12 minutes; do not overcook.
• Drain potato-onion mixture in a colander; reserve oil for another use or discard. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then taste and season with more salt, if needed.
• Meanwhile, crack eggs into a large bowl and season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; whisk until well beaten. Add potato-onion mixture and toss to coat.
• Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over high heat. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil, then pour in egg-potato mixture. Level it with a spatula and cook for 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for about 5 minutes. Run a rubber spatula around the outer edges to make sure it's not sticking and to help it form its shape.
• Once it starts to firm up around the edges and in the center (although it will still be a little runny), place a large plate over the skillet. Flip the omelet onto the plate, then slide it back into the skillet. Use the spatula to help press the edges in and under, to maintain a rounded edge. Cook over high heat for 1 minute, then reduce to low and cook until it feels set in the center and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 2 to 3 more minutes.

TORTILLA DE PATATA (SPANISH TORTILLA)

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large bowl, cover with cold water, and refrigerate for 30 minutes or so. Drain, pat dry, and season with salt.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute bell pepper, poblano pepper, and onion in butter until soft. Remove from pan, and set aside. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter and bacon fat in pan, and fry the potatoes until crisp and medium brown. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
• Preheat oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
• Arrange the potatoes in a lightly-buttered, non-stick pan, preferably a deep, slope-sided skillet. Arrange the onions and peppers over the potatoes, and then spread cheese over the top. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs with water, parsley, and salt and pepper; pour the mixture over the potatoes. Put the skillet in a larger pan with a half inch of water in it.
• Bake in preheated oven until eggs set, about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the tortilla, let cool, and loosen edges from the pan. Put a serving plate over the skillet, and flip the tortilla over onto the plate. Cut into small pie-shape wedges. Refrigerate until ready to serve; reheat if desired.
