This is one of our favorite weeknight dinners because I always have everything on hand and it goes together quickly. You can switch up the dish by changing around the ingredients. I like to use Cuban-style black beans, but you could also use regular black beans, refried beans, Pinquito or kidney beans. This recipe was prepared using cheddar cheese, but I've also used Monterey jack and pepper jack. I like to prepare this in individual dishes, but you could also prepare this in a larger baking dish.

Add the spinach and cook until wilted, stirring to mix. When the spinach is wilted, add the garlic salt, cumin, chili powder and oregano. Stir to mix and turn off the heat.
