Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Sauté the Aromatics: In a skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent.
- Add Spinach: Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, lime juice, green chiles, cayenne pepper, chili powder, and cumin. Then, fold in the spinach mixture until well combined.
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Pour 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce into a baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Assemble the Enchiladas: Take each tortilla and spoon a portion of the filling down the center. Sprinkle a bit of cheese on top, then roll it tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Top with Sauce and Cheese: Once all tortillas are in the dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with the rest of the shredded cheese.
- Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
- Garnish and Serve: Let the enchiladas cool slightly before garnishing with chopped cilantro.
Serving Suggestions:
Pair these enchiladas with:
- Mexican Rice: For a hearty side that complements the flavors.
- Fresh Salad: A crisp salad with lettuce, tomatoes, and salsa verde adds a refreshing contrast.
- Sour Cream or Guacamole: A dollop on top adds creaminess and indulgence.
