Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet, along with the ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook the mixture for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted. Remove from heat.
-
Take a flour tortilla and spoon a generous portion of the spinach mixture down the center. Sprinkle some shredded cheese on top of the spinach.
-
Roll up the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas.
-
Pour the enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, making sure to cover them evenly.
-
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top of the enchiladas.
-
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to slightly brown the cheese.
-
Garnish the enchiladas with chopped cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and slices of ripe avocado, if desired.
-
Serve the Spinach and Cheese Enchiladas hot and enjoy the delicious blend of flavors!
