How to Make Creamy Corn And Spinach Enchiladas With Chicken
- **Prepare the Filling:** Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded, 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies (undrained), 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste), and 1 teaspoon ground cumin. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups frozen corn (thawed), 5 ounces fresh spinach (chopped), 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste).
- Adjust seasonings to your preference.
- Lightly spray a 13x9 inch baking pan and a large piece of aluminum foil with nonstick cooking spray.
- **Prepare the Tortillas:** Microwave 12 corn tortillas, wrapped in a damp paper towel, on high for 1 minute, or until softened. Keep warm by covering with a clean kitchen towel.
- **Assemble the Enchiladas:** Fill each tortilla with approximately 1/3 cup of the chicken and vegetable mixture. Roll each tortilla into a cylinder and place seam-down in the prepared baking pan.
- Arrange enchiladas in two layers in the pan.
- **Make the Sauce:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1 (10 ounce) can of enchilada sauce and 1/4 cup sour cream.
- Pour sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
- **Bake:** Cover the pan with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup extra shredded Monterey Jack cheese and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro. Bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
