Wonderful meal that my entire family loved!
I like trying a new recipe that doesn’t call for beef or chicken. Yum yum
I add a bit more cheese for extra gooey-ness, but even as writtten this is part of my regular meal rotation. As a working dad, I don’t have a lot of time after work/before bed. This is fast and easy and my family loves it.
I added a can of diced green chilis, or in one version, I cut up spicy hot peppers. Always use pepper jack cheese or else is bland. I also used garlic infused olive oil instead of butter to cook the green tops of the green onions. You also don’t need that much enchilada sauce.
Easy recipe. I additional ingredients like red pepper flakes and smoked paprika and diced chicken. Topped with the cheese it called for,but also added a smoked cheese. Very good.
My husband, a meat & potatoes kind of guy, loves this, as do I!
Super good! Used full fat ricotta, sour cream and jack cheese. Wonderful!! My husband raved about it. And used fresh garlic from the farmers market. Yum!
Love this recipe. I think I will try it with a better grade of ricotta and some sharper cheese in that mix next time.
I cut the Ricatta cheese in half and subbed in low-fat cottage cheese for the other half. I also used fresh spinach because I had it and substituted olive oil for the butter. I also added salad shrimp to them. Yummy! I might try to sub out some of the sour cream for Greek yogurt next time to reduce some of the fat.
Good. Restaurant quality.
It was first time we did spinach enchiladas at home. It was easy enough to follow
I used red enchilada sauce … store bought. Absolutely delish and what an easy recipe. I used two 9×9 dishes so I could freeze one of them . Definitely will make this again. Great recipe.
Easy to make and we loved it.
LOVE!!
I had to change some for our tastes. Mozzarella cheese for sure and cumin, cilantro, oregano and cayenne. Fresh spinach a must. Other than that, add additional toppings with queso fresco! Next time I want to add fresh jalapenos to the spinach sautee!
Really tasty! I used fresh spinach instead of frozen, and I sprinkled a little cumin, salt, and pepper over the top before baking. My meat eating husband liked it so much that he went back for seconds.
This recipe reminds of those art pictures in cheap motels. Hand painted sure, but made in some giant factory. But go ahead, eat a lot of this. You’re doctor will love you. I won’t say that it came out that bad but it wasn’t that good either. It all the ingredients that I love but mixed together, not the taste. Too rich for me. And too much trouble for what you get. Rather have a spinach omelette instead.
I was thrilled to find this recipe after my husband brought some spinach in from the garden. I didn’t have ricotta or Monterey Jack Cheese, so I substituted salt-free cheese. I added in some beef tenderloin that I stir-fried and then chopped into small pieces. I made Authentic Enchilada Sauce from this site, and the dish turned out great.
Me and my son love it.
We absolutely Loved it!! Delicious and easy to make!
I followed the recipe pretty closely, although I only had flour tortillas and I sprayed the bottom of the pan. Also I mixed pepper Jack and cheddar cheese. I used green enchilada sauce. Very tasty and easy!
