Creamy Spinach Enchiladas image

I've been making this recipe on an off for years. First found it on the back of a tortilla packet. I've tweaked it a few times now. If you want you can add a small can of chicken, or a cooked chicken breast shredded up. I've done this and it goes well. I use Texas Red Enchilada Sauce Recipe #42094.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup sliced spring onion
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 cup cottage cheese or 1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
10 corn or 10 flour tortillas
1 (10 ounce) can mild enchilada sauce (or make your own, yum!)

Steps:

  • Pre heat oven to 375°F In a medium size sauce pan cook onions and garlic in butter for 2 minutes, add spinach.
  • Cook for 3-4 minutes stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Stir in cottage cheese, sour cream, 1c of shredded cheese.
  • The tortillas need to be gently warmed so that they will not crack when you roll them up.
  • Spoon about 1/4 cup filling down center of each tortilla and roll up.
  • Place seam side down in 13"x9" baking dish.
  • Top with enchilada sauce and remaining cheese Bake for 15-20 minutes until bubbly.
