These healthy chips are made from fresh spinach and cassava flour for a tasty grain-free snack. To make the homemade tortilla chips, you will need spinach, olive oil, sea salt, water and cassava flour. Begin by bringing the spinach and water to a boil and allowing the leaves to wilt. After about five minutes, place the spinach mixture into a blender and pulse until smooth. Add the spinach to a bowl of flour and salt, and mix until combined. Create two smooth balls of dough and chill in the fridge for about half an hour. Roll your dough flat and then heat the tortillas on a skillet until brown spots develop. Cut the tortillas into pie slices and then bake until crispy.
