Ingredients:

400 grms  frozen cut leaf spinach, thawed and drained well/ fresh spinach, washed and patted dry
1 medium sweet onion
2 cups cheese, shredded
10 large flour tortillas

Method:

In a skillet saute the onions over a medium heat.
Drain spinach well to remove any remaining moisture. Then spread the onions out over the spinach followed by sprinkling the five tortillas with cheese and layer on all the spinach. Top with remaining cheese and an additional tortilla. Press gently to flatten.

Over medium heat in a large skillet, cook each Tortillas for two to three minutes per side, or until cheese, melts and tortillas become crisp. Press each one gently with a spatula as it cooks. Garnish with drops of salsa.

Ingredients:
1-1/2 pounds of ground beef or turkey
1/2 cup chopped onion (one medium)
2 14-1/2 ounces can of stewed tomatoes
1 15 ounces can of corn OR 15 ounces frozen corn
1 15-1/2 ounces can of Mexican chili beans or any spiced beans
1 1-1/4 ounces envelope of taco seasoning mix
1 tablespoon of chili powder
1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder

Method:
Cook meat and drain meat well.
Add remaining ingredients without draining. Simmer for 30 minutes to develop flavor.

Ingredients:
3 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
2 tsp. of ground cumin
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (I use canola, sometimes olive)
6 cups tomato juice (46 ounce can)
2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes (or canned)
Juice of 1 large lime (about 1/4 cup)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Hot pepper sauce

For Garnish:
2 cups crushed tortilla chips
1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese (or cheddar, soy versions OK too)
Cilantro leaves, whole or chopped
Dollop of sour cream (real or soy, this is my addition in any case)

Method:
In a soup pot on low heat, saute garlic and cumin in the oil for a minute. Be careful not to brown the garlic.
Stir in the tomato juice, chopped tomatoes, lime juice, and cilantro. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook for several minutes. Add hot pepper sauce to taste.
Place crushed chips in large shallow soup bowls, and ladle the soup over them. Top with grated cheese, cilantro and dollop or sour cream.
