Beef and Salsa Burritos

(From magazine ad: Beef! It's What's for Dinner)

1 1/4 pound ground beef
1 1/2 T. chili powder
1/2 tsp. Cumin
1 package (10 oz) frozen, chopped spinach; thawed and drained
1 1/4 C. chunky salsa
1 C. shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 tsp. salt*
1/4 tsp. pepper
8 medium tortillas**

1. In nonstick skillet, brown beef over medium heat 10 to 12
minutes or until no longer pink. Pour off drippings.

2. Season beef with chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir
in spinach and salsa; heat through. Remove from heat and stir
in cheese.

3. Spoon 1/2 C. beef mixture into center of each warmed tortilla.
Fold bottom edge up, fold over sides - overlapping edges, and
serve.***

* I see no reason to add the extra salt, but the recipe calls for
it, so there you go. You decide.
** I use whole-wheat tortillas, warmed 25 seconds each in micro.
*** I like to serve Spanish rice with mine, or salsa and chips.
