Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 22

1½ cups wheat flour ( or all-purpose flour)
1½ cups spinach ((125 grams roughly chopped))
½ inch ginger ( or 1 to 2 garlic cloves (optional))
¼ teaspoon garam masala ( (optional))
1 green chili ((optional, skip for kids))
¼ teaspoon salt ((optional))
¼ to ½ teaspoon ground cumin ( or crushed seeds (optional))
1 to 2 tablespoons water ((or yogurt, to blend spinach))
1 teaspoon oil ( (to add into the dough))
2 tablespoons butter ( , ghee or oil for toasting)
1½ cups paneer ((or tofu or 2 large boiled potatoes ))
1½ tablespoons oil
½ teaspoon cumin
¾ to 1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste ((or 1 clove garlic & ½ inch ginger chopped))
1 large tomato ((pureed or 3 tablespoons tomato paste))
½ teaspoon red chili powder ( (adjust to taste))
¼ teaspoon garam masala
½ teaspoon coriander powder
⅓ teaspoon salt ((adjust to taste))
2 tablespoons coriander leaves (fine chopped)
1 small onion ( sliced (optional or pickled vegetables))
1 small carrot ((grated, optional))

Steps:

  • Wash and rinse spinach well in lots of water. Drain and add to a blender with ginger, garlic, little salt, cumin, green chili and garam masala. Also add 1 to 2 tablespoons water or yogurt to help blend the mixture well.
  • Blend this to a smooth puree. We don't want any grits in the puree. Transfer this to a mixing bowl and add wheat flour.
  • Mix well and make a soft dough, adding more water if required.
  • Pour oil and knead it well until soft & pliable. Set aside.
  • Heat a pan with oil and add cumin. Let them crackle.
  • Add ginger garlic paste & saute until the raw smell goes away for 1 to 2 mins.
  • Pour the tomato puree or tomato paste with 2 to 3 tablespoons water. Also add chili powder, salt, turmeric and garam masala. Cook until the mixture thickens and the raw smell of the tomatoes has gone.
  • Crumble the paneer (or tofu or boiled potato) and add to the pan. Mix well.
  • Cook on a low heat for 2 mins until the paneer and tomato blends well. Add coriander leaves and stir. Taste test and adjust the salt and spice. Turn off the stove and set aside to cool.
  • Divide the dough to 6 to 8 portions and roll to smooth balls.
  • Dust the rolling area or board with little flour and place a dough ball over it. Dust little flour over the dough ball and begin to roll to a flatbread that is not too thick nor too thin.
  • Heat a griddle until hot enough on a medium high flame.
  • Transfer the spinach flatbread to the hot griddle and cook just for 1 to 2 mins.
  • When you see bubbles over it, flip it to the other side and press down with the spatula so it puffs up well.
  • Drizzle some oil or ghee or butter and cook pressing down with the spatula. Cook on both the sides until the flatbread is cooked & has a few to golden brown spots.
  • Stack the spinach flatbreads as you cook all of them.
  • Place a flatbread on a board. If you want you can also spread mayo or cream cheese or green chutney and that's optional. Add the stuffing towards one half of it.
  • Fold one end of the wrap inside. Begin to roll tightly. Use a sandwich pick to hold the wrap in shape.
  • Serve spinach wraps hot.

Spicy Baked Tofu and Spinach Wrap image

Fast and easy. As a college student, I love being able to whip up my own spicy wraps that are relatively healthy and don't break my budget. And it has fewer calories than five wings! Dip wraps in ranch dressing, if desired.

Provided by Jessica Shiotelis

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Sandwich Recipes

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

cooking spray
1 (12 fluid ounce) bottle Buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank's®), or to taste
1 (12 ounce) package extra-firm tofu, cut into cubes
4 slices Swiss cheese
4 honey-wheat tortillas
5 Campari tomatoes, sliced
1 cup fresh spinach, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Pour Buffalo wing sauce over tofu in a large bowl to cover completely and toss gently to coat; marinate tofu at least as long as it takes for your oven to reach temperature.
  • Remove tofu from the bowl and spread onto the prepared baking sheet. Coat top of the tofu cubes with extra sauce and spray with cooking spray.
  • Bake tofu in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip the cubes, spray tops again with cooking spray, and continue baking until firm, about 10 minutes more.
  • Put 1 slice Swiss cheese atop each tortilla; heat in microwave oven to melt the cheese, about 30 seconds.
  • Divide tomato slices between the tortillas; top with about 1/4 of the baked tofu and 1/4 of the spinach. Wrap tortillas around the fillings.

Tips:

  • Prep the Spinach: Before using, wash and thoroughly dry the spinach to prevent excess moisture from making the wraps soggy.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or basil add a burst of flavor to the spinach filling. If using dried herbs, reduce the amount by half.
  • Add Veggies: Feel free to mix in other veggies like chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini for a more colorful and nutritious filling.
  • Cheese Choices: Experiment with different types of cheese like feta, mozzarella, or Parmesan for varying flavors and textures.
  • Seasoning: Don't be shy with the seasonings! Garlic powder, onion powder, chili flakes, or paprika add depth of flavor to the filling.
  • Tortilla Selection: Choose high-quality tortillas that are pliable and won't crack when folded. If using corn tortillas, warm them briefly before filling to make them more flexible.
  • Folding Technique: For a tight and secure wrap, fold the bottom edge over the filling, then fold in the sides, and finally roll up from the bottom.
  • Baking: To achieve a crispy exterior and gooey interior, bake the wraps in a preheated oven until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden brown.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve the baked spinach wraps with your favorite dipping sauce like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream. They're also great with a side of salad or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

These baked spinach wraps are a delightful fusion of flavors and textures, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal. With their vibrant green filling, crispy tortilla exterior, and gooey melted cheese, these wraps are sure to be a hit. Whether you're looking for a vegetarian main course, a party appetizer, or a healthy snack, these wraps have got you covered.
