Creamy Spinach Enchiladas

Normally, we make the classic Lawry's chicken enchiladas for dinner in the Fuelling household, but tonight, we sampled a new variety, thanks to the Real Simple's suggestion for creamy spinach enchiladas.

I usually glance through these magazine recipes, but never really put them into practice.  This one was found by my mom and I think we found a new vegetarian favorite!

Creamy Spinach Enchiladas
Production: ~20 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients:
1 (10oz) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 cup corn (we used a whole kernel version from my fav - Trader Joe's)
6 oz cheddar (or any type of cheese - we opted for a cheddar/jack mix) ~1.5 cups
2 (4.5oz) cans chopped green chilies
1 cup heavy cream (milk might be an adequate substitution...sample that next round)
Salt
Pepper
8 corn tortillas (used the TJ blue corn variety)

Extras:
1/4 small red cabbage, thinly sliced
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup pepitas (roasted hulled pumpkin seeds)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp fresh lime juice

1.  Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
2.  In a medium bowl, mix the spinach, corn, 1 cup of the cheese and the chilies.

3.  In a small bowl, stir the cream, salt, pepper, and remaining chilies.
4.  Take a tortilla and divide the mixed ingredients from #2 into the tortillas, roll and place face down in a baking dish.

5.  Cover the enchiladas with the sauce and place the remaining cheese on top.
6.  Place dish in the oven and bake for about 18-20 minutes.  Remove and enjoy!

Optional part 2: toss the cabbage and scallions with the pepitas, oil, lime juice and a little salt and pepper.  Serve alongside the enchiladas.

For other varieties of enchiladas, use the Lawry's Enchilada sauce packaging and roll tortillas with sauce, cheese, and chicken (tip - use rotisserie chicken)
