Spinach Enchiladas

[BS Gal]

Anybody ever heard of these or made them? I have a recipe, but haven't made it yet. Just wondering if it's worth making.

Absolutely, nice alternative to the standard. Fresh spinach is the best, if you can trust the source or use frozen spinach that's been thawed and well drained.

Here's the recipe. What do you think?

1 pkg flour tortillas
1 10 oz. package frozen spinach thawed and drained
1/2 cup sliced green onions
1 T butter or margarine
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup sour cream (think I can use light s.c.?)
2 cups shredded jack cheese
1 10oz can enchillada sauce
more sour cream, sliced green onions

Heat oven t0 375. In medium saucepan, saute onions in butter until tender, add spinach and cook until all moisture is evaporated. Remove from heat, stir in ricotta, sour cream and one cup of cheese.

Warm tortillas, spoon 1/2 cup of mixture in tortilla, roll up. Place in 13 x 9 pan. Pour sauce over. Add more cheese and onions. Bake 15 - 20 minutes.


How's that sound?

What's your definition of "little mexican" and does he have to be legal?

Light SC is fine or plain yogurt, maybe even had some grilled chicken or chirizzo to the filling.

I'll let you know how it turns out. I want to start making some "meatless" meals besides salad, but I'm not big on veggies.

Please do. I'd like to try to make them myself. Spinach enchiladas are my absolute favorite Mexican style dish but very few restaurants seem to make them anymore. :shrug:

I stopped at Chevy's in Annapolis recently, was surprised to see them on the menu, and ordered them. I was VERY disappointed. There used to be a restaurant called Plata Grande in Annapolis where Copeland's is now that made THE best spinach enchiladas but sadly they went out of business years ago.

Sounds good! I'm hungry, now.

IMHO, don't use the recipe I posted. Too much spinach. They weren't offensive, but they weren't good. Like Air said, I think if you put chicken or chorizo in them (and then half the frozen spinach or fresh spinach), they might be ok. The dog liked them though, and she usually won't touch spinach.

I am a spinach fanatic and you can never have too much spinach, so I'd probably love them. I don't especially like them when meat is added so I guess I'm a purist. The ones I got from Chevy's supposedly had artichokes in them but it was more like potatoes.

Spinach, Artichoke & Mushroom Enchiladas

Sauteed fresh spinach, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes and mushrooms with melted Jack cheese and our spicy habanero-pesto cream sauce

That's the write-up from their menu. I didn't see any sun-dried tomatoes nor mushrooms in them either.

I love potato tacos.
