Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, chopped spinach, half of the cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined.

  3. 3

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.

  4. 4

    Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  5. 5

    Take one tortilla, fill it with about 1/4 cup of the chicken and spinach mixture, roll it up, and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  6. 6

    Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top.

  7. 7

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  8. 8

    Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve hot.
