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!

CHICKEN & SPINACH ENCHILADAS



Chicken & Spinach Enchiladas image

This easy Chicken & Spinach Enchiladas recipe is a great way to use up leftover roast, poached chicken, or greens to make a quick and tasty lunch that packs in a lot of goodness. You can find rotisserie chicken in most supermarkets for this if you do not have any leftovers. It also shows you a great way to speedily transform our Quick Tomato Sauce from a pasta classic into a topping not only for enchiladas, but for quesadillas, too. If you want your sauce to have the chipotle taste but with less spiciness, scrape the seeds out of the chipotles before chopping them. We love Rudi's Organic Bakery 7 Grain with Flax Tortillas or Rudi's Gluten-Free Bakery Plain Tortillas.

Provided by Cook for Your Life Staff

Categories     Mains

Number Of Ingredients 1

2 cups tomato sauce (see Chef Tips) ¼ to ½ cup chipotle in adobo, chipotle chopped (depending on desired spiciness) 3 tablespoons canola or grape seed oil, divided 1 medium red onion, quartered and sliced 8 cups loosely packed spinach, stems removed and washed well Salt, to taste 1 medium avocado, peeled and pitted ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt 4 cilantro sprigs, set aside leaves for garnish 12 ounces chicken breast, roasted or boiled then shredded into pieces 1 cup grated sharp white cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese, divided 4 (8 inch) whole wheat tortillas or corn tortillas, slightly warmed

Steps:

  • Heat the Quick Tomato Sauce in a small saucepan or deep skillet with the chipotle peppers. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and puree. Return to the heat and simmer.
  • Meanwhile, heat some of the oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook until softened and beginning to brown. Stir in the spinach and salt. Cook just until wilted, for about 2-3 minutes. Turn off the heat and remove half of the spinach mixture.
  • Puree half of the spinach mixture with avocado, yogurt and cilantro until smooth. Add this puree back into the pan with the remaining spinach. Stir in the shredded chicken and ½ cup of the cheese. Taste for salt.
  • Preheat the broiler. Lightly grease a casserole or large baking pan with the remaining oil.

  • In the meantime preheat oven to 425°F.

CREAMY CORN AND SPINACH ENCHILADAS



Creamy Corn and Spinach Enchiladas image

These enchiladas have a creamy richness that is hard to resist. They also have a nice tang from the tomatillo-based green sauce. Scrumptious and fast, the cream spinach and cream-style corn tucked inside make them even more luscious. Serve with sliced tomatoes and just wait for the "mmm's." Use a metal measuring cup to scoop the filling. This will keep sizes approximately the same for even baking.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
2 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken, pulled apart by hand
1 (4-ounce) can diced mild green chiles
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 (14 3/4-ounce) can cream-style corn
1 (10-ounce) box frozen creamed spinach, thawed
1/2 cup light sour cream
1 cup already shredded Monterey jack cheese (4 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 super size corn tortillas (each about 6 1/2-inches across)
3/4 cup green taco sauce or salsa verde (not chunky)
1/2 cup light sour cream
Shredded Monterey jack cheese, to taste
1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 13 by 9-inch pan and a piece of foil large enough to cover the pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • To make the filling: Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until it is clear, about 4 minutes. Add the chicken, chiles and chili powder, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and stir in the corn, spinach, sour cream, cheese, and salt.
  • Place a stack of 6 tortillas between damp paper towels and microwave on high power until the tortillas are hot and soft enough to roll, about 1 minute. Cover with a cloth towel to keep warm. Remove 1 tortilla at a time, keeping the other tortillas covered, and place a rounded 1/3 cup of the filling down to the center. Roll into a cylinder and place in the prepared pan, seam side down and close enough to touch. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake until the enchiladas are hot, about 30 minutes.
  • To make the sauce: Meanwhile, stir the taco sauce and sour cream together in a small bowl. Uncover the pan and spread the sauce over the hot enchiladas. Sprinkle cheese and cilantro over the top. Return to the oven, uncovered, and bake until the cheese melts and the sauce is bubbly, about 10 minutes.
