Cheesy chicken and spinach enchiladas smothered in savory enchilada sauce.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 0.5 cup sliced green onions
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large cooked chicken breast halves, diced
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach - thawed, drained, and squeezed dry
  • 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.125 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 0.5 cup sour cream
  • 1.5 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 5 (10 inch) flour tortillas
  • 2 (10 ounce) cans enchilada sauce
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) for the perfect cooking temperature.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Saute green onions and garlic in butter until fragrant and softened, about 2 minutes. Add chicken, spinach, chili powder, black pepper, and salt; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in ricotta, sour cream, 1 cup Monterey Jack, and 1 cup mozzarella until well blended. Set aside some of the Monterey Jack and mozzarella for topping.
  • 1. Warm the tortillas in a sealed plastic bag in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds until soft and pliable. 2. Fill each tortilla with about 3/4 cup of chicken filling down the center in a line. 3. Roll the tortillas around the filling and place seam side down in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Cover the filled enchiladas with the enchilada sauce and generously sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Monterey Jack and mozzarella cheeses on top.
  • Bake in the oven until the filling is bubbly and the cheese topping is golden brown around the edges, approximately 30 minutes.
