– 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
– 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
– 1 cup cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup sour cream

Instructions
To create your delightful Spinach and Cheese Enchiladas, follow these straightforward steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Sauté Veggies: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until soft and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
3. Add Spinach: Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, approximately 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
4. Mix Cheese Filling: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, 1 cup of shredded cheese, the sautéed spinach mixture, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
5. Prepare Tortillas: Warm the corn tortillas in a microwave or skillet until pliable, making them easier to roll.
6. Fill Tortillas: Spoon a portion of the cheese and spinach mixture into each tortilla. Roll them up tightly and place them seam side down in a baking dish.
7. Add Sauce: Pour the green enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring each enchilada is well covered.
8. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top of the enchiladas.
9. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
10. Cool and Serve: Allow the enchiladas to cool for about 15 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, before serving.
By following these steps, you’ll produce scrumptious Spinach and Cheese Enchiladas without any fuss. Each bite will be creamy, cheesy, and utterly delicious!
