Spinach Enchilada Verde

Not all of the recipes I share on here will be raw food, as I am still dipping my toes into the water with this whole nutrition change. Its a lot to take in, so I am working on it. For now, I am successfully 75% raw. Meaning, I eat 2-3 meals a day of raw, fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, etc. Then for dinner I will most likely have a cooked vegetarian meal. Last night I made the below recipe. It was AMAZING! And incredibly simple.


  • 1 cup light sour cream
  • 1 (7 ounce) can green salsa
  • 1 bunch fresh spinach, rinsed and thinly sliced
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 (10 ounce) package corn tortillas

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. In a small bowl, stir together half of the sour cream and the green salsa. Spread enough to coat the bottom into a 9x13 inch baking dish. On each tortilla, spread a small amount of the salsa and sour cream in the center. Lay a small handful of spinach over that, and sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese. Roll up, secure with a toothpick and place into the baking dish. When all of the tortillas are in the pan, pour the remaining salsa over the top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  3. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until the enchiladas are browned and heated through.

The major changes I made were, instead of making enchiladas, it was just easier to make this into a casserole, so I did layers and made it more of a mexican lasagna. Don't let the spinach scare you, it is quite tasty in there. It was probably a little too spicy for my daughter, so maybe next time I will experiment and make my own milder green sauce. Sorry for the absence of a picture, this was scarfed down! Yum! Enjoy!
