Method
- Add fl our, spinach and salt to a food processor. Blitz until the mixture becomes a fine texture.

- Add the turkey mince to a bowl along with the garlic, chilli, coriander, salt and pepper. Combine well then roll mince into balls, approx. the size of a walnut.
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan to medium heat.
- Cook turkey balls in batches. Don’t overcrowd the pan to allow the balls to brown easily. Keep warm whilst you cook the rest of the mixture.
- In a bowl, mix salsa ingredients and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Slice the corn kernels off the cob and set aside.
- To cook the tortillas, roll each dough ball out to the size of a small dinner plate.
- Heat a non-stick pan to medium high. Place the tortilla into the pan and cook for 1½ mins. Once it starts to bubble up, fl ip and cook the other side for a further 30 secs.
- Remove and keep warm under a tea towel. Repeat.
- Place all ingredients onto a large serving platter, load up your tortilla with the fresh ingredients and turkey balls. Top with the fresh salsa.
