I made this recipe when it was first published in Quick Cooking several years ago and it is AWESOME!! I have made it many times since then and my family loves it (even though we don't normally go for vegetarian entrees). I also usually add like 50% more spinach that it calls for.

Made this last night, hubby and I both loved it. It feels more like Italian than Mexican...but it's very good.
