Method

Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spinach

    In a pan over medium heat, sauté the minced garlic in a tablespoon of olive oil until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Cook the Spinach

    Add the spinach to the garlic and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Mix the Filling

    In a bowl, combine the cooked spinach, ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, shredded cheddar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Sauté the Onion

    In a saucepan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat and add the chopped onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.

  2. 5

    Make the Sauce

    Stir in the tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and water. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 6

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side to make them pliable.

  2. 7

    Fill the Tortillas

    Place a generous amount of the filling into each tortilla, roll them up tightly, and place them seam-side down in a baking dish.

  3. 8

    Add Sauce and Bake

    Pour the prepared sauce over the enchiladas, ensuring they are well coated. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until heated through and the tops are slightly golden.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve topped with sour cream and sprinkled with fresh cilantro.
