Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 6 cups Fresh spinach, chopped
- 4 ounces Low-fat cream cheese
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 1.5 cups Green enchilada sauce
- 1 cups Low-fat shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 0.5 teaspoons Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted (about 4-5 minutes). Remove from heat.
Stir in the low-fat cream cheese to the spinach mixture until smooth and creamy. Mix in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Warm the corn tortillas briefly in a microwave or in a dry skillet to make them pliable.
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the spinach mixture into each tortilla, roll it up, and place it seam side down in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Pour the green enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they're well coated.
Sprinkle the low-fat shredded cheese over the top of the enchiladas.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
