- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained and squeezed dry
- 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded, divided
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 10 (6-inch) corn tortillas

Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Step 2 -Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 3 -In a large saucepan over medium heat, add the butter to melt.
Step 4 -Add 1/2 cup of the green onions and the garlic, and cook while stirring, until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 5 -Add the spinach, stir to combine, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
Step 6 -Transfer the spinach mixture from the stovetop to a wire rack. Add 1 cup of the Monterey Jack cheese, the ricotta cheese, and the sour cream and stir to combine. Set it aside.
Step 7 -In a large skillet over medium heat, individually heat each of the tortillas, about 15 seconds per tortilla, until all the tortillas have been warmed.
Step 8 -On a flat surface, in the center of each of the warmed tortillas, add about 1/4 cup of the spinach mixture, roll the tortilla around the spinach mixture, and place it in the prepared baking dish, seam-side down.
Step 9 -Evenly pour the enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas.
Step 10 -Evenly sprinkle the remaining Monterey Jack cheese over the enchilada sauce layer.
Step 11 -Bake, uncovered, until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is lightly browned at the edges, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 12 -Top with the remaining green onions and serve.
