1 Tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic minced
5 Ounces baby spinach fresh
1 Large tortilla burrito size
1 Ounce cream cheese softened
1 Cup shredded mozzarella cheese or cheese blend I use a combo of mozzarella and provolone

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Stir in spinach. Cook until spinach is wilted, stirring often. Remove from skillet and set aside. Do not wipe any excess oil out of pan.
Return skillet to medium heat. If pan is totally dry and no oil remaining, heat 1 teaspoon oil. Place tortilla in heated skillet. Cook just a few minutes until browned. Flip it over and spread cream cheese over entire surface of top side of tortilla. Sprinkle half of the cheese on HALF of the tortilla and then the spinach and then the remaining cheese. Fold the tortilla over and cook until browned.
After one side is browned, carefully flip and cook until other side is browned and cheese melted.
Remove from skillet, slice into thirds and serve.
