Yield:
10 enchiladas

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • ½ cup sliced green onions

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach , thawed, drained and squeezed dry

  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese

  • ½ cup sour cream

  • 10 (6 inch) corn tortillas

  • 1 (19 ounce) can enchilada sauce

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add green onions and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in spinach and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and mix in 1 cup Monterey Jack, ricotta cheese, and sour cream.

  3. Warm one tortilla in a skillet over medium heat until flexible, about 15 seconds. Repeat to warm remaining tortillas. Spoon about 1/4 cup spinach mixture onto the center of each tortilla, roll tortilla around filling, and place into a 9x13-inch baking dish with the seam facing down. Pour enchilada sauce over top and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup Monterey Jack.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbling and cheese is lightly browned at the edges, 15 to 20 minutes.
