Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups red enchilada sauce
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (for serving)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped spinach, cream cheese, half of the cheddar cheese, half of the Monterey Jack cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined to create your cheesy chicken spinach filling.
  3. Warm the flour tortillas in a microwave for about 30 seconds or until pliable. This makes rolling easier for your cheesy chicken spinach enchiladas.
  4. Take one tortilla and spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken and spinach filling into the center. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling to assemble your cheesy chicken spinach enchiladas.
  5. Pour the red enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas, ensuring they are generously covered.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese on top of the enchiladas for that classic cheesy finish.
  7. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, completing your cheesy chicken spinach enchiladas.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the enchiladas sit for about 5 minutes. Serve topped with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • Using rotisserie chicken can save time.
  • Ensure tortillas are warm and pliable to prevent tearing during assembly.
  • Adjust chili powder to your preferred spice level.
