Well now, listen up, I’m gonna tell you ’bout this fancy dish called spinach and chicken enchiladas. Ain’t nothin’ too complicated, just some good ol’ food that fills ya up! First off, you gotta know what you need. You get yourself some corn tortillas, spinach, chicken, and a good salsa. Make sure the salsa is homemade if you can, that stuff from the jar just don’t taste right.
Now, let’s talk chicken. You want it nice and shredded, not that minced meat nonsense. That don’t sit well with anyone. You cook your chicken up nice and tender, then shred it real good. While that’s goin’ on, you can also get your spinach ready. Just wash it and chop it up. Ain’t much to it, just get it all nice and mixed together.
- Ingredients:
- Corn tortillas
- Shredded chicken
- Fresh spinach
- Homemade salsa
- Cheese (if you like it)
Next thing you do is fry them tortillas a bit. Just a little bit in some hot oil, not too long or they’ll get hard. This makes them taste better, trust me! Once they’re all warm and soft, you can dip ’em in that salsa. You don’t wanna skip this step, it’s real important!
Now for the fun part! You take a tortilla, put some of that chicken and spinach mixture in there, then roll it up nice and tight. If you want, you can stack ’em up instead of rollin’—it’s all good! Just make sure they’re packed with flavor. When you’ve got ‘em all rolled up, you put ‘em in a baking dish.
Pour the rest of that salsa over the top, and if you like cheese, sprinkle some on there too! Ain’t nobody gonna complain about a little cheese, right? Now cover it all up with some foil, so it don’t dry out while it bakes.
Pop that dish in the oven at about 350 degrees. You want it to cook for about 20 to 30 minutes, just until it’s all bubbly and warm inside. If you ain’t got the time, don’t roll ‘em too far ahead, or they’ll get soggy on ya. Best to roll them just before you bake. You don’t want a mushy mess, that ain’t tasty at all!
Now, if you’re wonderin’ whether green or red salsa is better, well, they both got their charm! Usually, chicken goes with the green sauce, ‘cause it’s a bit spicier. But if you got red sauce, go ahead and use that too! It’s all about what you like best. Both ways, you’re gonna have a meal that’ll make your belly happy.
So there ya go! Spinach and chicken enchiladas, a simple and hearty dish that’ll feed the whole family. Serve it up with some rice or beans if ya like. And don’t forget, you can add a little extra salsa on the side for those who like it spicy!
