Instructions
- In food processor, combine spinach, tomatoes, lime juice, onion and jalapeno (if using). Pulse to combine. Add avocados and cilantro and blend until well combined (mixture will be slightly lumpy).
- Arrange tortillas on a clean surface. Spread about 1/4 cup (50ml) of the avocado mixture over half of each tortilla. Top with chicken; sprinkle with cheese. Fold each tortilla in half to cover filling.
