Spinach tortillas

I made a batch of Spinach Tortillas yesterday, and cooked about half of them for our burritos for dinner last night. Today, I made breakfast burrito filling (turkey sausage, eggs, bell peppers, onions, corn, and cheese) and cooked the rest of the tortillas. I really, really like the spinach tortillas. I could even eat them plain!

Once again, I have stayed up past my bedtime. How does it get to be so late?! I guess I was doing something worthwhile... cleaning in the office! Yay! :)

We're having another busy week here. I have lots of things I want to do, just not enough time! I think it will always be like that. :)

Appreciate your commitment!

Tammy, I don't know HOW you do it all! Your blog is such a help to me, and each morning when I take a look, there is something new! (I don't always officially log in, but I'm looking, anyway). I hear you saying you were up late again, so I guess that's when you squeeze in some time...I've tried quite a few of your recipes, the latest being the Apple Dip, which my husband LOVES!! I'll try the spinach tortillas soon! By the way, congratulations on cleaning your office! Cleaning and organizing my home office is an ongoing project ;) Another thing to mention--sorry, I'm not actually reviewing this recipe at the moment, but cramming other comments in :-)--I just discovered your videos, and love them! Please post more when you can, thanks!

Office clutter

Just so everyone knows, she is cleaning my office ;) Her parts of the house are always really tidy, clean, and organized. They get some use but are always promtly picked up afterwards. My office on the other hand... well, it looks like I live in it. Because I do... and it is a contrast to the rest of the house to say the least! But I know where everything is (the "surface area filing approach") so I like to leave everything in their designated places! :P

Tortillas

Have you ever tried making the spinach tortillas with frozen spinach? Do you think it would work as well?

menus

I'm enjoying your site here and was wondering if you post your menus somewhere else that I could view them? Have you been keeping up to have one every week? I don't like to wing it yet I don't sit down and write one out :( Thanks for all of your great recipes. Lisa

Videos, spinach tortillas, and menus! :)

Brenda, thank you! :) Yes... I stay up way too late many nights... :) I'm trying to get on a better schedule though! :) We like to do videos, but it's tricky to find the time when the children are quiet (asleep!) and the sun is out (our camera has poor video lighting) and we're both home (since Joshua takes the videos). ;) Hopefully we can work more of them into our schedule, soon! :)

Joshua, you're very sweet to clarify that it was all your mess... ;)

Robin, yes, you can use frozen spinach. Just thaw it first, and I would guess about 3/4 or 1 cup of spinach (with juice) for the recipe. :) Just add extra flour if needed! :)

Lisa, thank for commenting! I have stopped posting weekly menus... just busy with other things, and I've been trying to post more pictures of our meals instead. :)

tortilla storage

so i always bought tortillas from the store to use for wraps for my hubby's lunch. no more, as we can't find anything healthy enough anymore. it was always nice to have them in the fridge for a week or so, to grab 2 or 3 and make different wrap sandwiches. i make fresh tortillas to eat right away, and never have any left for anything. so i am wondering about making a batch ahead to store just for my hubby's lunches. how long do you think they will last in the fridge, and do you think they will stay fresh enough and not get hard? thanks! holly

Can't wait to try these

I've been meaning to try these for sometime now. This is definitely next since I have all the ingredients now.

tortillas

I've only within the last 6 months started making tortillas. We just did without before! :-( I have printed your recipe. I was thrilled to see that it calls for FRESH spinach. Most recipes call for canned, frozen, or otherwise previously prepared spinach. I just can't get that. I'll let you know when I make these.

Your blog is wonderful -- and your other site too. Thanks for posting all the ideas and recipes.

Spinach tortillas

Jimmie, thank you! :)

Holly, the softness of the tortillas depends on how long you cook them (mostly)... I like mine soft, so I don't cook them overly long. You can wrap the hot fresh tortillas in a damp dish towel as you finish them, and let them cool in there. That really helps them not dry out so much. :) I think the tortillas would last about a week in the fridge, but no guarantees on softness at that age, since we've never had any cooked tortillas last longer than a couple hours! ;)
