Desperate Spinach

Submitted by grrltrouble

"came home from work starving with no good ideas. when i looked in the fridge, it was full of vegetables bought on an optimistic trip to the store, and then ignored. the two (why?) bags of spinach i had were threatening a slimey protest if i didn't use them soon. wanted to write this down so i don't forget it next time i'm in a similar situation. i have totally guessed on measurements."

Super-easy to throw together, and pretty good for you, to boot -- what's not to love? I'll definitely be making this again, but I'll probably leave out the lemon zest. It wasn't bad, but I just found it to be a bit too prominent in this for my tastes. I made this in the order given, but I allowed the spinach to cook for a bit because I prefer it more wilted than crunchy. I also added extra feta crumbles to it after I put the mixture in the wrap (love, love, love spinach/feta/tomato together!). Oh, and my tortilla was whole grain instead of plain flour. Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Spring '10

This was very tasty! I had to make a couple minor changes to use what I had available - diced red onion, dried orange peel, and sun-dried tomatoes in oil (so I skipped the softening step). Otherwise, followed exactly, though I added the feta after the spinach instead of before, so the spinach would wilt down more. Thanks for sharing!

Now this is a tortilla that is definitely tasty. Can you eat just one? It's very difficult to stop at one, believe me! This would be super on our next Mexican night!

Yum. And guilt-free. I saw no need to change the proportions of anything except the spinach. That I reduced in half. This is going to become a lunchtime regular for me. Oh, Dh had the idea to add a few cashews to the second batch and we both enjoyed the crunch a lot.
