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

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 Breast

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1 (8 ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/3-1/2 cup chopped onion
1/8-1/4 teaspoon tony chasers creole seasoning (use with caution, salty)
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (to taste)
1/4 cup chicken broth or 1/4 cup water
8 ounces shredded monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend (Low Fat works fine)
1 (16 ounce) jar Mexican crema (Found in refrigerated section at Walmart between the Cottage Cheese and Cream Cheese)
8 -10 corn tortillas

Steps:

  • Over Med to Med/Low heat add broth and onion to a sauce pan or skillet. Simmer covered until onions start to become translucent.
  • Add Shredded Chicken, Drained Spinach, Creole Seasoning, Cumin and Garlic Powder. Stir & Simmer until all ingredients are heated through (most of broth should be evaporated) Drain any remaining liquid and let cool to manageable temperature.
  • In the meantime preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Soften Tortillas by your preferred method. I wrap them (fanned out like cards in a circle) in a damp towel and microwave approximately 1 minute.
  • When Chicken/Spinach mixture has cooled, mix in 1/2 - 2/3 of shredded cheese.
  • In a 15x10x2 glass casserole Lightly sprayed with Pam or canola oil spray I assemble the Enchiladas (I just eyeball how much mix per tortilla). Load up the tortillas and roll one at a time. Finishing seam side down. I like to keep them from touching each other before adding sauce.
  • Spoon enough Crema Mexicana over each Enchilada to cover, sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top. Cover with foil and bake in preheated over at 425°F for 10-12 minutes. Remove foil and if desired (should be hot and bubbly) Broil for 1-2 minutes.
  • Serve topped with sliced jalapeños or your favorite salsa. Goes great with Spanish rice or refried beans.
  • Enjoy!
