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!

Categories     Chicken

Time 45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (10 ounce) cans mild enchilada sauce (I use one of the green sauce and one red sauce)
2 cups chopped cooked chicken, you can buy the already chicken in the cans to save time
1/2 cup sour cream
2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chilies, undrained
1/3 cup chopped green onion
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
10 flour tortillas (6-7")

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Pour 1 can of enchilada sauce in a 9by13 inch baking dish.
  • In a large bowl,combine chicken,sour cream,chilies,onions and salt.
  • Stir in one cup of cheese.
  • Spoon about 1/3 cup of chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla.
  • Roll up tortillas and place seam side down in prepared baking dish.
  • Pour remaining can of enchilada sauce over top;sprinkle with remaining one cup of cheese.
  • Bake uncovered 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and enchiladas are heated through.
  • Serves 6-6 I have doubled this recipe before- experiment around with the enchilada sauce-- I prefer one can of green sauce and 1 red sauce-- but you can use whatever you like-- also you can add more cheese on the top-- these really are yummy!
  • hope ya like them-- also you can use the hot enchilada sauce instead of the mild, we just use the mild because of my kids-- they love this recipe-- not to spicy for them.
