Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 medium poblano peppers diced; about 1 cup
  • ½ (10 oz) pkg fresh spinach chopped; can use thawed frozen spinach
  • ½ onion diced
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt adjust to taste
  • 1 cup shredded oaxaca cheese divided; sub mozzarella

  • ¼ cup mayo

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°
