This looks great! going to try it Tuesday with some smoked chickens (on sale for $0.89/lb this week).
 
I'd appreciate your comments and review, as I won't be able to make it that soon.

Tried out the recipe and it was great, a keeper for us.

I started by cutting the recipe in half.

Except the chipotle, we like it a bit hotter.

I think you could use frozen spinach just as well and save a boatload of time. Probably about 3 boxes if you're making the full recipe.
 
Cool. Thanks for the update.
I'd guess that 3 (10 oz) frozen cooked is darn close to five pounds of raw.
Glad you liked it.
