1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 4)
16 ounces beer
2 cups water
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 jalapeno pepper, minced
3 cups Baby Spinach, chopped
5 burrito-size flour tortillas (9 inches)

1
Preheat the oven to 450*F.
