Low Calorie Recipe for Spinach & Mushroom Flour Tortillas

This original recipe is ULTRA easy and was something that I created with I had a few items in the kitchen that were close to expiring.  

Tom and I didn't want that - it's quite cruel to watch a perfectly good bag of spinach go to wilt.

If we had to name these babies, they would be called Happy Tortillas because we were so happy when we were eating these because they were SO GOOD! It also felt good to be enjoying something so tasty that was low in calories and fat.

Here is our easy recipe:

Ingredients for Low Calorie Recipe for Spinach & Mushroom Flour Tortillas

1/2 small package of button mushrooms (or sliced mushrooms)

1/2 bag of fresh spinach

1/4 cup of diced onion

4 slices of bacon, microwaved (140 calories)

6 flour tortilla shells (480 calories - we used the 80-calorie per tortilla shells from Wal-Mart)

non-stick cooking spray

salt & pepper

your favorite salsa (we LOVE Sam's Club Peach & Pineapple Chipolte, purchased at Wal-Mart)

Begin by spraying flour tortilla shells with cooking spray, then 'frying' them in a non-stick pan.  Do both sides.

Next, add mushrooms and onion to pan.  When onions are translucent, add spinach. When spinach 'melts' then crumble up the crisp bacon into the pan.  Add a bit of pepper, but go very light on the salt because the bacon will add a good deal of salty taste to the dish.

Remove from heat, then equally divide the mixture onto the six tortilla shells - placing the mixture onto one edge of the tortilla.  Roll up and serve with salsa on the side.

Enjoy 3 for about 125 calories each plus salsa calories.
