Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Coat an 8-inch-square baking dish with Roasted Chili w/Lime Olive Oil.
  • Place tomatoes, onion, 2 teaspoons chipotle and salt in a blender. Puree until smooth.

  • Spread 1/4 cup of the tomato sauce in the prepared baking dish.
  • Cover with 4 tortillas (they will overlap).
  • Spread on 1/2 cup sauce, then all the spinach filling. Top with another 1/4 cup sauce. Layer on the remaining 4 tortillas and the remaining 1 cup sauce.
  • Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheese on top.

Tip

  • Chipotle chile peppers in adobo sauce are smoked jalapeños packed in a flavorful, spicy sauce. Look for the small cans with Mexican foods at large supermarkets. Once opened, they’ll keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator or 6 months in the freezer.
