Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine the spinach with a teaspoon each of lemon and lime juice, plus half a teaspoon of chipotle powder. Spread this flavorful spinach mixture evenly across the bottom of your prepared dish.
