Ingredients

• 1 teaspoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 6 cups Fresh spinach, chopped
• 4 ounces Low-fat cream cheese
• 8 pieces Corn tortillas
• 1.5 cups Green enchilada sauce
• 1 cups Low-fat shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
• 0.5 teaspoons Cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Chili powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the chopped fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted (about 4-5 minutes). Remove from heat.

Step 4

Stir in the low-fat cream cheese to the spinach mixture until smooth and creamy. Mix in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 5

Warm the corn tortillas briefly in a microwave or in a dry skillet to make them pliable.

Step 6

Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the spinach mixture into each tortilla, roll it up, and place it seam side down in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 7

Pour the green enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they're well coated.

Step 8

Sprinkle the low-fat shredded cheese over the top of the enchiladas.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
