Chicken & Spinach Enchiladas

Ingredients:

  • 3 chicken breast, boneless, skinless 
  • 16 ounce frozen spinach
  • 2 cans Cream of Mushroom soup
  • 16 ounce Monterey cheese
  • 8 large burrito shells
  • 1 medium onion, julienne
  • 1 cup red enchilada sauce (optional)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • ½ cup Water
  • ½ teaspoon vinegar

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Boil chicken, adding salt, cumin, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook spinach according to package directions, add vinegar. Cut chicken into small pieces. Sauté onion in 1T butter, cook until clear; lay onion on paper towels to drain oil. Add spinach, chicken, and onion to large bowl.

In a small sauce pan, add sour cream, milk, 1 cup Monterey cheese, and cream of mushroom soup, stirring constantly for about 4-6 minutes. Set aside 2 cups of mixture to put on top of enchiladas. Then add remaining mix to large bowl, mixing all ingredients well. 

In a 9x13 casserole dish, pour 1 cup red enchilada sauce on bottom and evenly spread. This is to prevent the enchiladas from sticking on bottom of dish. Plus I like the flavor that the red sauce gives to the enchiladas! Lay burrito shell on counter, spooning 1/3 cup of chicken-spinach mixture in center. Sprinkle cheese over mixture and roll length wise, place seam side down in casserole dish. After you roll all the burrito shells, spoon remaining 2 cup topping over shells. Bake for 15 minutes! Salt and pepper to taste.
