Cheesy Tortilla Spinach Wrap

Cheesy Tortilla Spinach Wrap

Tortillas are staple food in Mexico and Central America. Flour tortillas are made of all-purpose flour. Ages ago, wheat were not grown in America and hence anything with all purpose flour was staple. Corn tortillas are also common in Mexican and American cuisine. I have tried this recipe thinking of a balanced diet including carbs from flour, protein from cheese, iron from spinach and jalapeño for spiciness. This is a perfect to-go wrap for kids without causing any mess while eating.
