Ingredients
For the enchiladas
- 12 corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded chicken
- 12 ounces frozen chopped spinach thawed and squeezed of moisture
- 1½ cups shredded Colby jack cheese divided
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
For the sauce
- 1 can green enchilada sauce
- 1/3 cup sour cream
Garnish
- Pico de Gallo
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400˚F.
- Combine the shredded chicken, spinach, and 1 cup of the cheese together until everything is evenly distributed.
- In a pot bigger than the diameter of your tortillas, heat the enchilada sauce to a rolling simmer.
- To assemble the enchiladas, dip the tortilla quickly in the sauce to coat both sides. This will make the tortilla soft and pliable. The sauce needs to be hot/simmering. This method will not work with cold or room temperature sauce.Place the sauced tortilla on a plate and add filling down the middle then roll the sides and place it in a 13x9 baking dish.Repeat for all 12 enchiladas.
- Then, whisk 1/3 cup sour cream into the rest of the sauce and pour over the top of the enchiladas. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the enchiladas are heated through. Garnish with pico de gallo and serve immediately. Enjoy!
