Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 4 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Salsa
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 2
Once the olive oil is heated, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until wilted.
Step 4
Sprinkle the ground cumin, salt, and black pepper over the spinach and mix well. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
Step 5
Lay one flour tortilla on a clean surface. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons each of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese evenly across the center of the tortilla.
Step 6
Spoon about 1/4 of the cooked spinach mixture on top of the cheese layer.
Step 7
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and filling.
Step 8
Heat a large, flat skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the assembled burritos seam-side down onto the skillet.
Step 9
Cook each burrito for 2-3 minutes per side or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has melted inside.
Step 10
Remove from the heat and serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side.
