Time 1h

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon butter
½ cup sliced green onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 large cooked chicken breast halves, diced
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach - thawed, drained, and squeezed dry
½ teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 cup ricotta cheese
½ cup sour cream
1 ½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
5 (10 inch) flour tortillas
2 (10 ounce) cans enchilada sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir green onions and garlic in butter until fragrant and softened, about 2 minutes. Stir chicken, spinach, chili powder, black pepper, and salt into the green onion mixture and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix ricotta cheese, sour cream, 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese into chicken mixture until thoroughly combined. Reserve remaining Monterey Jack and mozzarella cheeses for topping.
  • Place tortillas into a plastic bag, seal bag, and microwave on high until warm and soft, 30 to 45 seconds. Spoon about 3/4 cup of chicken filling down the center of each tortilla in a line. Roll tortillas around filling and place with seam sides down into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Pour enchilada sauce over filled enchiladas and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Monterey Jack and mozzarella cheeses over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until filling is bubbling and cheese topping is browned at the edges, about 30 minutes.

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!
