Description

Spinach and Monterey Jack cheese are wrapped in corn tortillas and baked with green salsa. You can substitute yogurt for the sour cream if you want a lighter version. This is super simple, and even hard-core Texan meat eaters who have never eaten a vegetable in their lives like it.

Ingredients

1 cup light sour cream
1 (7 ounce) can green salsa
1 bunch fresh spinach, rinsed and thinly sliced
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 (10 ounce) package corn tortillas

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 In a small bowl, stir together half of the sour cream and the green salsa. Spread enough to coat the bottom into a 9x13 inch baking dish. On each tortilla, spread a small amount of the salsa and sour cream in the center. Lay a small handful of spinach over that, and sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese. Roll up, secure with a toothpick and place into the baking dish. When all of the tortillas are in the pan, pour the remaining salsa over the top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
3 Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until the enchiladas are browned and heated through.
