Fresh Homemade Kale Tortillas

Here's a healthy twist on plain old tortillas. Kale! And not just the juice because not everyone has a juicer. Straight up kale leaves... this couldn't be easier!! 
Ingredients:
3 oz kale (3 medium leaves, stalk removed)
3 cups flour
2 tsps baking powder
1  1/2 tsps salt
5 tbsps olive oil
water

Start with the kale... submerge it in a pot of boiling water and let it simmer 5-10 minutes or until the kale turns a bright green. Remove the leaves to a bowl of cold water and reserve the hot kale water.
Squeeze the water from the kale and gently pack into a measuring cup.
 Add hot kale water enough to measure 1  1/2 cups.
In a food processor pulse the flour, baking powder and salt together. Add the oil and kale, then slowly add the water in the measuring cup while running, until...
a ball forms and comes away from the sides of the bowl.
Turn the dough out onto a floured board. Divide into 12 equal balls. Cover and let rest 10 minutes then roll each out into a 6-8" round (or sometimes square in my case)
Cook each tortilla in a hot and dry frying pan (no grease) for about 20 seconds per side or until you see a few golden spots. Keep the uncooked stack covered so they don't dry out.
I think I could've rolled these a little thinner but not bad for my first attempt at tortillas. They can be kept in a ziplock baggie for a few days.

Stay tuned... next up Shrimp St Jacques Tortillas!
