CHICKEN AND SPINACH ENCHILADAS



Chicken and Spinach Enchiladas image

These are excellent enchiladas. Yes, there really is spinach in them! They are very rich and very filling, you will be stuffed. My husband and I got them from my sister-in-law. My husband raved about them and then told me there was spinach in them and wanted me to try them. I told him he was crazy. Well I tried them and they are so good, and I don't even like spinach and he doesn't either. You have to try these!!! You will love them!

From Southern Living - The flavor of this casserole is incredible. Very mild heat. My pre-teen kids love these even with the spinach. Delicious. I hope you all enjoy as much as my family has over the years.
