How to Make Mexfast

  1. Rinse 5 oz fresh spinach and place it in a medium saucepan with only the clinging water.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until spinach is just wilted (about 2 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and drain the spinach thoroughly using a colander or sieve.
  4. Add 1 cup cooked brown rice and 1/2 cup corn (drained if canned or frozen) to the same saucepan.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup salsa and heat through over medium-low heat for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Gently stir in the wilted spinach.
  7. Warm the tortillas according to package directions. (Microwaving for 15-20 seconds or warming in a dry pan works well)
  8. Spoon approximately 1/4 of the rice and spinach mixture down the center of each tortilla.
  9. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then tightly roll up from the bottom.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy your Mexfast wraps!
