Ingredients
- 1 cup (500 mL) dried split peas (green or yellow), rinsed & drained
- 5 cups (1.25 L) cold water, divided
- 1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) salt
- Optional: 1/4 tsp (1 mL) chili flakes and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) garlic salt
Directions
Add split peas and 3 cups (750 mL) cold water to a bowl and cover with a tea towel. Leave at room temperature to soak overnight.
Drain and rinse the soaked split peas, then add to a blender with the remaining 2 cups (500 mL) cold water. Blend well, until batter is very smooth.
Heat a nonstick skillet over low heat. Once the skillet is hot, pour 1/3 cup (75 mL) of batter to the skillet. Use a metal spoon to spread the batter into a very thin 6-inch circle.
Cook for 5-6 minutes or until the top of the tortilla looks dry and edges are lifted. Don’t rush this step! Very gently scoop underneath the tortilla and flip. Cook for another 1-2 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining batter. If the tortillas start to stick, wipe the pan with a paper towel.
Store tortillas in a sealed container in the fridge for 2 weeks or in the freezer, separating each tortilla with parchment paper for up to 6 months.

Great recipe. I need to practice in getting my tortillas round 😏. Do you have a recipe for enchiladas? Will canned sauce work?thank you
Hi Laura! Happy to hear you like the tortillas as much as we do! We do have an enchilada recipe on our website at https://albertapulse.com/recipe/bean-enchiladas/. Canned sauce also works in this recipe and is a time saver, for sure.
