Instructions
Bring the milk, water and salt just to a boil in a 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat.
Whisk in the grits and reduce heat to low. Simmer partially covered, stirring occasionally, 25 to 30 minutes or until tender.
Remove the grits from the heat. Stir in the shredded cheese, butter and chipotle peppers.
Portion the grits into four bowls. Divide spinach evenly among each bowl, stirring to wilt.
Place a fried egg on top and top with remaining ingredients. Garnish with Pico de Gallo.
