Ingredients

Servings

For the enchiladas

  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups chicken shredded
  • 12 ounces spinach thawed and squeezed of moisture, frozen, chopped
  • cups Colby jack cheese divided, shredded
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

For the sauce

  • 1 Green enchilada sauce canned
  • 1/3 cup sour cream

Garnish

  • Pico de Gallo

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400˚F.
  2. Combine the shredded chicken, spinach, and 1 cup of the cheese together until everything is evenly distributed.
  3. In a pot bigger than the diameter of your tortillas, heat the enchilada sauce to a rolling simmer.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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!
