Today I am here with a nice Mexican food recipe .Once in a while its good to leave off your strick diet rule and enjoy the creamy spinach with the chewy cheese combo rolled in corn tortillas..hmm the yummy tomato base sauce with the cheesy spinach rolled enchilada make the best combo ever.....This is the best meal anyone can ever have.I made a big trayof this enchiladas which got almost empty in no time. I must confess that it came out so good and yummy which forced me to post this recipe immediately. Its the best recipe to share with you all.So here i am....
Ingredients:
-----------
Corn tortilla - 6 large
Spinach - 1 bunch /a frozen pack
Green onions - 1/4 cup
Garlic cloves - 3-4
Oil - 1 tsp
Cheese -1cup+3tbsp
Sour cream - 1/2 cup
For the base sauce:-
Tomato puree - 3 tbsp
tomato basil pasta sauce- 1 cup
Barbecue Sauce - 1 tbsp
Sambalo-leek - 1 tsp
chilly powder - 1/2 tsp
salt - 1/2 tsp
Method:-
-------
1.Take a pan , add 1tsp of oil and then add green onions followed by garlic to it and saute for 1 min in medium heat till it just releases the fragrance.
2.Chop the spinach into thin strips and cook in microwave for 4 mins.
3.Add the spinach to the onions and saute for another 5 mins.Then remove from heat.
4.Add sour cream and 3/4 cup of cheese of your choice and mix properly adding enough salt and pepper.I have added even chilly flakes as we like it spicy[Its optional]
5.Now mix all the base sauce ingredients and keep ready.
6.Now take a large pan and just heat up the corn tortilla on both side for about 15 secs without adding any oil .
7.place a big spoon full of spinach mixture in the center flatten a bit and roll them up .Then place the folded side down in a 9x13 inch pan which has a little of base sauce already spread in it.
8.Similarly roll out remaining 5 tortillas and place them one after the other .Then pour the remaining tomato base sauce over the tortilla rolls cover totally with this sauce.
9.Pre-heat the oven to about 350deg F .Now sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of tortillas uniformly and bake in the oven till the sauce starts to bubble and the cheese melts and turns slightly brown about 8-10 mins.
Enjoy when its still hot....
