SOUTH OF THE BORDER SPINACH DIP



INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups pure vegetable oil
- 1 10 count package 8-inch soft taco style flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup hot thick and chunky salsa
- 1 10 ounce package frozen chopped spinach thawed and well drained

DIRECTIONS
In large skillet, heat oil over high heat. When a small piece of tortilla sizzles immediately on contact, carefully place several tortilla wedges in oil; fry, turning once, until golden brown (about 1 minute).
Remove from oil with slotted spoon and drain on clean paper towels. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Set aside.
In medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Transfer to a greased ovenproof serving bowl or a 1-quart baking dish.
Bake in a preheated 400°F oven until dip is bubbly and golden brown (about 25 minutes). Serve with tortilla wedges.
