Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Here is a delicious recipe that we like to use Spinach on. It is in our Mexican Recipe Files. Also you could slice up some fresh garlic really thin and saute it in a little butter. Then add lots of fresh spinach to it and abou 1/4 c. water. in a large frying pan and cover, stirring often. It will wilt down to about 1/10 the amount of fresh raw spinach. Another good way to use up fresh spinach, is to add it in your blender to fresh fruit smoothies. You won't evertaste it in there, but it will add a ton of nutrition.Enjoy,Judy-----------Spinach Mushroom Quesadilla 16 oz bag fresh spinach leaves 1- 4 oz.. can of sliced mushroom 6 garlic cloves diced thin 2 tomatoes, diced small 1 small onion, diced 1 c. frozen corn kernels or fresh salt to taste Shredded cheddar cheese or Pepper Jack Cheese Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat to medium high heat. Add spinach, mushrooms, garlic, tomatoes, onion and corn. Saute covered, stirring often. When everything is tender and spinach is still bright green but wilted, turn off the burner and set on a cool burner. In a large flat bottomed skillet, spray with cooking spray and heat to medium high heat, Add a soft flour tortilla shell. You can use plain ones or flavored ones, such as spinach, jalapeno cheddar, garden vegetable, etc. Check your ingredients to make sure you get ones without lard. Sprinkle with a thin layer shredded cheese and then spread some of the spinach mushroom mixture over this. Put another soft flour tortilla shell over this and press down with the back of your spatula. When bottom tortilla is crisp, flip the whole thing over with a spatula and crisp the other tortilla. Slide out of skillet onto a baking sheet and cut with a pizza cutter wheel into wedges, like you would a pizza. Serve with sour cream and salsa on the side, if you desire.
