Spinach Burritos

shared by Patty H.  (I know this one sounds weird but even if you think you don't like spinach, you really need to try it.  It has a wonderful flavor and makes a great meatless entree.)
Ingredients
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced (I use about 1/4 tsp. of minced garlic flakes.)
2 teaspoons butter
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/8 teaspoon pepper
6 fat-free flour tortillas (10 inches), warmed
3/4 cup picante sauce or salsa, divided (I used salsa.)
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, divided
Directions
  1. In a large skillet, saute onion and garlic in butter until tender.
  2. Add spinach and pepper; cook for 2-3 minutes or until heated through.
  3. Place about 3 tablespoonfuls off center on each tortilla
  4. Top with 1 tablespoon of picante sauce and 2 tablespoons of cheese.
  5. Fold sides and ends over filling and roll up.
  6. Place seam side down in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish that has been coated with cooking spray. Top with remaining picante sauce and cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted.
Yield: 6 servings.
