Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup yellow onion chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 11- ounces baby spinach leaves by weight
  • 1/3 cup cilantro + extra for garnish, destemmed and chopped
  • 4- ounces diced green chiles
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground chili powder
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 10 ounces green chile enchilada sauce
  • 4 cups Mexican-blend cheese divided
  • 8 8-inch flour tortillas

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F. Spray a 9x13-inch glass casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Set a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  • Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the cilantro, green chiles, lime juice, cumin, and chili powder. Remove from heat, then mix in the sour cream and 2 cups of cheese.
  • Divide the enchilada filling into 8 portions. Spoon each portion onto a tortilla, roll it up, and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  • Pour the green enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle the remaining 2 cups of cheese on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling.
  • Let the enchiladas stand for 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with extra cilantro and serve warm.
