• 1 lb. lean ground beef or turkey
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup tomatoes, peeled and chopped
• 1 bunch spinach, washed
• 6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 10 large flour tortillas, fajita-size, warm
• kitchen string
• vegetable oil

Heat a heavy nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Sauté ground meat 4-5 minutes or until brown. Drain fat and discard. Add garlic and onion and cook 5-7 minutes until onion is translucent. Do not brown. Stir in tomato until heated through, then add spinach and cook, stirring until spinach is just wilted. Remove from heat. Stir in feta cheese and sour cream and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Fill warm soft tortillas with approximately 3 Tbs. of mixture and wrap burrito-style, closed at both ends. Fill all tortillas and wrap securely by tying each with cotton string. Heat about 1 inch of oil in a heavy skillet over medium high heat. When oil is about 375°F, gently add tortilla wraps (do not overcrowd) and fry 3-4 minutes, or until crunchy and golden brown on all sides. Drain on paper towels, cut away string and serve.
