My son is a vegetarian and on nights when my husband is not home for dinner, we often make some sort of veggie dinner wrapped in a tortilla, and these spinach wraps are just one variation. The basic idea is some sort of protein (cheese, beans, tofu), a mix of veggies either sauteed or raw, topped with some sort of sauce, dressing, or salsa, and then wrapped up in or tortilla (or melted into a quesadilla)… you get the idea. My favorite ingredient in a hot wrap is probably spinach because it is similar to lettuce, but it is good cooked. For some reason, I have an aversion to warm lettuce, so I save it for cool wraps.
This particular wrap is one I make on super busy days because I use bagged spinach and sun dried tomatoes for the veggies, meaning that I don’t have to spend time chopping. It comes together in about twenty minutes, which is faster than it would take to get fast food, and it is so much better!

I had to come by and see what the wonderful ingredients in this wrap were. I was guessing feta cheese, but I love that it is Queso Fresco! Thanks for sharing!
