Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Roll up the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas.

  6. Pour the enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, making sure to cover them evenly.

  7. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top of the enchiladas.

  8. 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.

  9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to slightly brown the cheese.

  10. Garnish the enchiladas with chopped cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and slices of ripe avocado, if desired.

  11. Serve the Spinach and Cheese Enchiladas hot and enjoy the delicious blend of flavors!
