  1. My family and guests thought this was not very burrito like, but very good stuff. I used roasted garlic salsa. The only change I would make next time would be to try adding some rice to the filling. Easy and delicious. Thanks for sharing.
     
  2. These were very good. I probably used more cheese than called for because I love cheese (used a mix of sharp cheddar and jack). I didn't have a problem with the amount of spinach mixture because we folded in the sides then rolled the tortillas (real burrito style my bf informed me). The only thing I would do differently is mix salsa, cheese and spinach and then fill tortillas. Some bites were all cheese and others were all spinach. Thanks for a really easy and yummy weeknight recipe.
     
  3. If these didn't taste so darn good, I'd give this recipe a lot fewer stars because the ingredient amounts are WAY off. I only had enough spinach mixture to fill 5 burritos, and I used ALL the salsa and only filled 5 burritos (following instructions exactly). I ended up filling the sixth tortilla with refried beans and using an extra 1/2 cup of salsa for the top. Next time I'll try using more spinach and maybe smaller tortillas (it was quite bread-y). With all that said, they were quite tasty.
     
  4. Really yummy spinach burritos. I used littler low carb tortillas so I used 9 instead of the original 6. I also used a little more salsa, and my cheese was a mix of whatever was left in my fridge. They were both crunchy and soft and we enjoyed them. Thanks.
     
  5. This is good and very easy to assemble. I would suggest using a half a cup of spinach mixture and a quarter of cup of cheese in each burrito. They were good made as written but to save calories I think more spinach less tortilla. Used medium salsa and it was the perfect degree of spice. Will make again. Thank you for the recipe

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My husband and I married straight out of college in July of 1992. I work as the Assistant Manager at a wine shop which allows me to drink on the job! (OK, not that much, but it's still a fun job...) Besides helping customers choose wine they will like (and also help with food and wine pairings for their menus), I also get to help with the catering end of the business, so I get to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen making fun appetizers and beautiful food displays. I also work part-time at the fromagerie next door. So yeah - that means I eat on the job, too. :^D We live on several peaceful wooded acres on a cute little river in rural NE Wisconsin, with a cranky old-lady Burmese and whatever stray outdoor cats that have decided to adopt us on any given day. The cute puppy in the picture is Jake, our Elhew-bred English Pointer that we brought home on Easter weekend 2007. I've also got 2 painted turtles named Dennis and Fuzz, and a bunch of fish (koi and goldfish, along with the guppies & swordtails in the turtle tank). I USUALLY eat and cook healthy, but I rarely pass up dessert, either. I do not eat red meat, and try to limit other animal products, too. I love to bake, although I seem to collect a lot of scone and biscotti recipes which I NEVER get around to making. I bake and eat A LOT of cookies and muffins... I almost always reduce the sugar by 1/4 and use whole wheat pastry flour for at least part of the flour. Those two changes do so much to make recipes healthier without compromising taste. I try to reduce fat whenever I can, too, but while I want to eat healthy, I still want to ENJOY what I eat!!! I seem to give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews here - I seem to have a pretty good sense of what I like by looking at a recipe before I try it. Thank you to anyone that tries my recipes in return, or photographs them.
