Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add shredded chicken, chopped spinach, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook until spinach is wilted and everything is combined, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Spread a small amount of verde sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Take a blue corn tortilla, add a generous amount of the chicken and spinach mixture, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of Chihuahua cheese. Roll up the tortilla and place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  4. 4

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Once all tortillas are in the dish, pour the remaining verde sauce over the top. Sprinkle with Cotija cheese and any remaining Chihuahua cheese.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
