Chef’s Secret

To prevent cracking when rolling, gently warm spinach tortillas in a microwave or dry pan for a few seconds to increase their flexibility.

Substitutions

Best Match

Plain Flour Tortillas

1:1

Similar texture and function, but without the spinach flavor/color.

Large Lettuce Wraps

1:1

A low-carb, gluten-free option, but prone to tearing and different texture.

Rice Paper Wrappers

1:1

Gluten-free, translucent, requires rehydration; delicate texture.

Lavash Bread

1:1

Larger, thinner, and often crispier, but can be used for wraps.

Buying Guide

Check for a vibrant green color and soft, pliable texture. Ensure the ingredient list includes real spinach, not just flavoring or coloring.
