1 cup Mexican blend cheese

  • Top with cheese. Return to oven for 5 minutes until cheese is melted.
  • Serve with refried beans, Mexican rice, sour cream and guacamole.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and tender spinach: Look for spinach leaves that are deep green in color and free of blemishes. Avoid wilted or yellowed leaves.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: For a more flavorful filling, use a combination of different cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Monterey Jack.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked spinach will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use corn tortillas: Corn tortillas are the traditional choice for enchiladas, but you can also use flour tortillas if you prefer.
  • Preheat the oven: Before you start assembling the enchiladas, preheat the oven to the temperature specified in the recipe. This will help the enchiladas cook evenly.
  • Serve immediately: Enchiladas are best served immediately after they are made. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can assemble them and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking.
