How to Make Spinach And Broccoli Enchiladas

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 10 ounces fresh spinach, roughly chopped, 1 cup broccoli florets, 1/3 cup picante sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon cumin to the skillet.
  3. Cook, stirring occasionally, until spinach and broccoli are wilted and heated through, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup small-curd cottage cheese and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 13x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  6. Warm 10 corn or flour tortillas according to package directions. Spoon approximately 1/3 cup of the spinach and broccoli mixture down the center of each tortilla.
  7. Roll up tightly and place seam-down in the prepared baking dish.
  8. Pour remaining 2/3 cup picante sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
  9. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  10. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  11. Uncover and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
