Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 pound extra lean ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • DO AHEAD TIP: Prepare pasta ahead of time.

  • Season beef with chili powder, cumin, and salt and pepper; stir in spinach, beans and salsa and heat through.
  • Remove from heat; stir in cheese.
  • To serve, spoon approximately 1/2 cup of beef mixture down the center of each warmed tortilla; fold the bottom edge up over filling and fold sides to the center, overlapping edges.
