Chicken & Spinach Enchiladas image

Great weeknight dinner, with the seasoned chicken flavor without having to pre-cook and shred chicken! I use a friend's salsa recipe for this (http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/dip/jackies-salsa.html), but you could use any salsa you like. (But make the homemade - it's super easy and super good!). Get out some chips...

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2-3 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 yellow onion, diced
1 lb ground chicken
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp freshly ground pepper
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 bag(s) washed baby spinach
8-10 flour tortillas
1 can(s) enchilada sauce (i like rosarita's)
1 recipe https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/dip/jackies-salsa.html
2 c grated cheese (cheddar, monterey jack, or combination)
cooking spray

Steps:

  • 1. In a large saute pan over medium heat, add a few circles of olive oil. Add onion and saute until translucent. Add ground chicken and break into pieces while cooking. Sprinkle meat with chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Cook until chicken is nearly done. Add spinach and cook until just wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • 2. Spray baking dish with cooking spray. Lay out tortillas. Spoon 3-4 tablespoons of meat/spinach mixture onto a tortilla. Use 1-2 tablespoons of salsa and enchilada sauce over the top. Cover with cheese and roll away from you. Place into prepared baking dish. Repeat with rest of the tortillas and fillings.
  • 3. Once all the enchiladas are done and in the pan, sprinkle with cheese and top with a good amount of enchilada sauce (you may have a little left over). Sprinkle any remaining cheese over the top again. Bake at 400 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until bubbling. Serve with sour cream, avacado, salsa.

These enchiladas are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also love that they can be made ahead of time and then baked just before serving.

I made these enchiladas with gluten-free tortillas and they were still delicious. I also used a dairy-free cheese blend and they were just as good as the regular version.

I made these enchiladas with ground turkey instead of chicken and they were still delicious. I also added some diced zucchini to the filling for extra vegetables.
