Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 6 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Canned corn
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 whole Flour tortillas (8-inch)
- 2 cups Red enchilada sauce
- 2 cups Shredded Mexican-blend cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted.
Stir in the canned corn, cream cheese, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the cream cheese is fully melted and the mixture is creamy. Remove from heat.
Lay out the flour tortillas. Divide the spinach and corn mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing the filling in the center of each.
Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Pour the red enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring all are well coated.
Sprinkle the shredded Mexican-blend cheese over the top.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Creamy Corn and Spinach Enchiladas!
