Salsalito's Spinach Enchiladas
One of my favorite tex-mex restaurants here is Salsalito's. A few years ago they had their spinach enchilada recipe in the newspaper. It's really good. It's super super super rich though, so be prepared. I think instead of using the filling outlined in the recipe next time I will use a chicken & cheese mixture or maybe a ground beef mixture. The spinach in the middle and on the outside was a little too rich, but still so good.
