Servings: 4

Ingredients

Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
Fresh spinach: 4 cups, washed and chopped
Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
Black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
Lemon juice: 1 tablespoon
Greek yogurt: 1/2 cup
Black olives: 1/3 cup, sliced
Tomato: 1 medium, diced

Instructions

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth to create the zesty sauce.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
Spread a generous tablespoon of the Greek yogurt mixture onto each tortilla.
Evenly distribute the sautéed spinach, crumbled feta cheese, diced tomato, chopped red onion, and sliced black olives among the tortillas.
Fold the sides of the tortillas over the filling, then roll them up tightly from the bottom to create burrito shapes.
Serve the burritos warm with additional Greek yogurt or a fresh side salad for a refreshing contrast.
