Creamy Corn And Spinach Enchiladas Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, chopped (about 1 cup )
- 2 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken, pulled apart by hand
- 1 can diced mild green chiles (4-ounce)
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1(14 3/4-ounce) can cream-style corn
- 1(10-ounce) box frozen creamed spinach, thawed
- 1/2 cup light sour cream
- 1 cup already shredded Monterey jack cheese (4 ounces )
- 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 12 super size corn tortillas (each about 6 1/2-inches across)
- 3/4 cup green taco sauce or salsa verde (not chunky)
- 1/2 cup light sour cream
- Shredded Monterey jack cheese, to taste
- 1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro leaves
Instructions
- Position a rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat the
- oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 13 by 9-inch pan and a piece
- of foil large enough to cover the pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- To make the filling: Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet
- over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently,
- until it is clear, about 4 minutes. Add the chicken, chiles and
- chili powder, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove
- from the heat and stir in the corn, spinach, sour cream, cheese,
- and salt.
- Place a stack of 6 tortillas between damp paper towels and microwave
- on high power until the tortillas are hot and soft enough to roll,
- about 1 minute. Cover with a cloth towel to keep warm. Remove 1
- tortilla at a time, keeping the other tortillas covered, and place
- a rounded 1/3 cup of the filling down to the center. Roll into a
- cylinder and place in the prepared pan, seam side down and close
- enough to touch. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Cover the pan
- tightly with foil and bake until the enchiladas are hot, about 30
- minutes.
- Meanwhile, stir the taco sauce and sour cream together in a small
- bowl. Uncover the pan and spread the sauce over the hot enchiladas.
- Sprinkle cheese and cilantro over the top. Return to the oven,
- uncovered, and bake until the cheese melts and the sauce is bubbly,
- about 10 minutes.
