Comments:
You can adjust the number of chiles and the amount of adobo sauce to alter the spicyness of this recipe. The original called for just 2 chiles.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve with some salsa and/or low-fat sour cream.
Ingredients:
2 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 small onion, diced
1 pound lean ground beef
3 canned chipotle chiles in adobo, chopped, plus 2 tbs. sauce from can
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (1/2-pound) bunch spinach, chopped (6 cups)
4 whole-wheat tortillas
4 oz. shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese (1 cup)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:
1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add beef and cook until well browned, about 6 minutes; drain fat from pan.

2. Add chiles, adobo sauce, and beans to beef mixture; cook until beans are warmed through, about 3 minutes. Add spinach, cover, and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and remove from heat.

3. Heat tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Lay 1 tortilla on a serving plate. Top with 1/4 cup of the cheese and 1 cup of the beef mixture. Fold in the sides then roll up the burrito. Repeat with other three tortillas.
