This is the most comprehensive list you'll find:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_English_words_of_international_origin
A link to words of Spanish origin can be found on that above link, but here's the direct link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_words_of_Spanish_origin
God bless Wikipedia.
