How to Make Spinach And Cream Cheese Enchiladas

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 10 oz (284g) fresh spinach (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1/4 cup green onions (chopped), 8 oz (227g) cream cheese (softened), and 1 cup (113g) shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Mix well.
  3. Lay out 12 corn or flour tortillas. Place approximately 3 tablespoons of the spinach mixture into the center of each tortilla.
  4. Roll up the tortillas tightly and place them seam-down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  5. In a small saucepan, combine 1 (15 ounce) can of your favorite enchilada sauce and 1/2 cup sour cream. Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until heated through and slightly thickened.
  6. Sprinkle 1 cup (113g) shredded pepper jack cheese over the enchiladas.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the enchiladas are heated through.
  8. Remove from oven and immediately pour the enchilada sauce mixture over the enchiladas. Serve immediately and enjoy!
