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!

1/3 cup chopped green onion
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
10 flour tortillas (6-7")

  • 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.
