Ingredients

  • 10-12 flour tortillas
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/3 cup cilantro
  • 1 chicken breast, cooked and shredded
  • 3 cups shredded Monterey Jack pepper cheese
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: Begin by blending all sauce ingredients together in a blender until smooth and well-combined.

  2. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked and shredded chicken, 2 cups of shredded Monterey Jack pepper cheese, and 1 cup of the reserved sauce, ensuring they are evenly mixed.

  3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC).

  4. Prepare the Pan: Lightly coat the bottom of a 9ร—13-inch baking pan with some of the prepared sauce, creating a thin layer to prevent sticking.

  5. Fill the Tortillas: Take each flour tortilla and spoon a generous portion of the chicken mixture onto the center. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking pan. Repeat this process until all tortillas are filled and arranged in the pan.

  6. Cover with Sauce and Cheese: Once all the tortillas are snugly lined up in the pan, pour the remaining sauce evenly over the top, ensuring that each enchilada is generously coated. Sprinkle extra Monterey Jack pepper cheese over the sauce for an irresistible finish.

  7. Bake to Perfection: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is beautifully melted, creating a golden crust on top.

  8. Serve and Enjoy: Once baked to perfection, remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for a burst of color and flavor.

These Spinach Chicken Enchiladas are sure to be a hit with family and friends alike, offering a satisfying meal thatโ€™s both wholesome and hearty.
