spinach sammich

i go through phases where i eat the same meals on repeat. i made up this sandwich to eat along with my mango chutney. it's quick, easy, uses up tiny bits of veggies in the produce drawer, and is pretty darn healthy and tasty. i first ate it with a mug of the last bit of homemade tomatoe soup.

supplies:
- whole wheat tortilla
- spinach (if this is your main veggie, use about 3 good handfuls)
- onion, sliced into thin strips. about 1/4 of a medium onion
- whatever else-- zucchini, summer squash, mushrooms are all good choices.
- handful of cheese (any kind!)

1. caramelize the chopped onions by heating up a bit of olive oil in a non stick pan. cook them until they turn nice and brown.
2. if you're cooking squash, add it 1/2 way thru the onion cooking.
3. add the spinach and mushrooms and cook until spinach wilts.
4. slide all the sauteed veggies out of the pan onto half of the tortilla.
5. sprinkle with cheese. add salt and pepper.
6. add a bit more olive oil to pan. slide tortilla into pan.
7. fold tortilla in half. cook one side until brown. flip. repeat.
8. eat.
