How to Make Spinach Burritos

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of margarine over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add 10 ounces of fresh spinach and 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until spinach is wilted and heated through.
  4. Season the spinach mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Lay out 6 large flour tortillas. Divide the spinach mixture evenly among the tortillas (approximately 3 tablespoons per tortilla).
  6. Top each tortilla with 1 tablespoon of your favorite picante sauce and 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Tightly roll each tortilla into a burrito, tucking in the sides to prevent spills.
  8. Place the burritos seam-side down in a 9x13 inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.
  9. Pour any remaining picante sauce over the burritos. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
