Rinse the spinach and spin dry. Finely chop the shallot and garlic and sauté in a hot skillet with olive oil until translucent. Add the spinach and cook until wilted.

Sprinkle the diced tomatoes and the remaining Parmesan over the tortillas and bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and serve immediately.
