Batesville, Texas is the Spinach capital of the USA. Zavala County has Popeye as their mascot. As a young girl in high school we ate lots of spinach and eggs with cheese when we had lunch during detasseling season. It is still one of my favorites in a tortilla. Special morning, remembering my roots. Oh, and I grew my own chile pequin or chile del Monte. Called this because it grows wild in Texas.
