    1 tablespoon butter
    1/2 cup sliced green onions
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach , thawed, drained and squeezed dry
    1 cup ricotta cheese
    1/2 cup sour cream
    2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
    10 (6 inch) corn tortillas
    1 (19 ounce) can enchilada sauce

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and onion; cook for a few minutes until fragrant, but not brown. Stir in spinach, and cook for about 5 more minutes. Remove from the heat, and mix in ricotta cheese, sour cream, and 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese. In a skillet over medium heat, warm tortillas one at a time until flexible, about 15 seconds. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the spinach mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Roll up, and place seam side down in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour enchilada sauce over the top, and sprinkle with the remaining cup of Monterey Jack. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until sauce is bubbling and cheese is lightly browned at the edges.

    Ooohhh....
    The last time I made these...I used green and red enchillada sauce. That was very yummy.
    I also (as if there wasn't enough cheese in this lol) added a pkg of cream cheese. OMG it was to die for!
    But I don't even want to think about how fattening it was :X hahahahha

    mmm they were so so so good :)

    my next idea is to make the same filling and put it into some sort of raviolli... maybe use the enchilada sauce as a pasta sauce... *ponders*

    Could you tell me what "Monterey Jack Cheese" is? I am not sure if we can get it here but maybe there is an equivelant.

    thanks!

    The ingredients are going on my shopping list. YUMMERS! I've been craving some enchiladas, but I don't trust the mexican place around me, 'cause they use meat in everything. Thanks for posting. ^^
