Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided 
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped 
  • 1 large clove garlic, grated or minced 
  • TRIFECTA Spice Blend
  • 1/2 pound frozen chopped spinach, thawed, with the water squeezed out

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, season lightly with TRIFECTA blend, and cook for 8-10 minutes, until the garlic has browned and the onion is translucent. 

Make a well in the onion mixture and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the spinach and artichoke hearts, lightly season with salt and pepper, and continue to cook for 5 minutes, stirring every minute or so. 

Remove the pan from the heat and add queso base. Stir to combine and taste for seasonings, adjusting for salt and pepper if needed.
