→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 1/2 cups packed spinach (about 2-3 oz)
02 -
1/8 teaspoon black pepper, ground
03 -
2 flour tortillas, large
04 -
1/2 teaspoon salt, kosher
05 -
1 cup diced onion
06 -
1 1/2 cups corn (drained if canned)
07 -
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, monterey jack, pepper jack, or a mix)
08 -
1 1/2 cups black beans (drained if canned)
09 -
1 clove garlic, minced
10 -
1 teaspoon paprika
11 -
1 teaspoon cumin
12 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
# Instructions:
01 -
Put tortillas on a plate and cover each one with a wet paper towel. Microwave them for 20 seconds so they soften up.
02 -
Toss in the black beans and corn, then let them cook together while stirring for about 5-6 minutes.
03 -
Chop up spinach roughly and throw it into the pan. Cook it down for 1-2 minutes.
04 -
Place filling in the middle of your tortilla. Fold the sides over the mix, then roll it up starting from the bottom. Tuck everything in tightly as you go.
05 -
Lower the heat a bit and sprinkle paprika, salt, pepper, and cumin into the pan. Stir it all together, then sprinkle in cheese and let it melt.
06 -
Spoon a few big scoops of the prepared filling into the middle of one tortilla. Flatten it out a little to make wrapping easier.
07 -
Pair these with lime, salsa verde, hot sauce, or whatever toppings you like best!
08 -
Warm olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Toss in the minced garlic and diced onion, stirring for 1-2 minutes.
# Notes:
01 -
Make a freezer stash! Skip cheese when prepping the filling, let it cool, then add the cheese later before wrapping. Wrap tightly in both plastic and foil. They’ll last 2-3 months in the freezer.
02 -
Reheating in the microwave? Unwrap and heat for 6-7 minutes per side until fully warmed. For a crispy exterior, toss it on a skillet for a few extra minutes!
03 -
For oven reheating: Remove all wrapping and bake in a 400°F oven for 45 minutes on a baking sheet.
04 -
Thawed frozen spinach works just as well—just give it a good squeeze to get rid of extra water.
05 -
Got leftover chicken, pork, or beef? Toss it in for extra flavor!
