Tips:
- Choose the Right Ground Beef: Opt for lean ground beef (80/20 or 90/10) to reduce excess grease. Freshly ground beef provides the best flavor and texture.
- Sauté the Beef with Aromatics: Enhance the beef's flavor by sautéing it with a flavorful combination of onions, garlic, and chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. This step adds depth and complexity.
- Season and Simmer the Enchilada Sauce: Elevate the sauce's taste by adding a blend of chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmering the sauce allows the flavors to meld and intensify.
- Use Fresh Spinach: Fresh spinach provides a vibrant green color, a slightly bitter flavor, and essential nutrients to the enchiladas. Squeeze out excess moisture before using.
- Use High-Quality Cheese: Opt for a blend of sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, and queso fresco for a rich, flavorful filling. Freshly grated cheese melts better than pre-shredded.
- Assemble the Enchiladas Correctly: Layer the tortillas with the beef mixture, spinach, and cheese, ensuring they are evenly distributed. Roll them up tightly to prevent the filling from spilling out.
- Bake the Enchiladas Covered: Baking the enchiladas covered with foil for 20 minutes helps the cheese melt and the flavors to blend. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes for a golden brown top.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the enchiladas with chopped fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, sour cream and guacamole for a colorful and appetizing presentation.

These spinach and beef enchiladas offer a delightful combination of flavors and textures. With a flavorful beef filling, tender spinach, a zesty enchilada sauce, and a blend of melted cheeses, this dish is sure to be a hit.
