Let's get cooking

Cups:

1. Take a square Spring roll sheet and cut in 4 parts. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray. Lay the spring roll sheet into the muffin cups and allow them to line the cups. And bake at 400 degrees for 10-11 minutes until the edges are crunchy/ the sheet looks slightly brown. Once baked keep it aside to cool.

2. Rinse and clean the spinach and squeeze as much water out as possible. In a bowl add 1 cup water and very little salt and blanch the spinach. Once the spinach cools down, cut it in fine strips and keep it aside.

Béchamel Sauce:

1. In a sauce pan, add the butter and melt it, to that add the all purpose flour and fry it little till it gets slightly yellow and lumpy. Now add in milk little by little (to avoid lumps in the sauce) and stir it well as you pour in the milk.

2. Once you have added all the milk and there are no remaining lumps let the sauce boil for a minute. Once the sauce starts boiling and in the cheese and keep stirring. The cheese will start melting and give a smooth and stringy texture.

3.Now add the oregano and salt. You can also add pepper if you like. Now add the Spinach strips to the sauce and mix well.

Salsa:

Cut onion, tomato, jalapeño in small cubes and add them to a bowl. To that add some freshy chopped coriander, a pinch of salt to taste and lemon juice and mix everything well
