Ingredients
- 1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
- 6 ounces Cheddar, grated (1 1/2 cups)
- 2 4.5-ounce cans chopped green chilies
- 1 cup heavy cream
- kosher salt and black pepper
- 8 6-inch corn tortillas, warmed
- 1/4 small red cabbage, thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup pepitas (roasted hulled pumpkin seeds)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Directions
- Heat oven to 400° F. In a medium bowl, mix together the spinach, corn, 1 cup of the Cheddar, and 1 can of the chilies. In a small bowl, stir together the cream, the remaining can of chilies, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
- Dividing evenly, roll up the spinach mixture in the tortillas (about ⅓ cup per tortilla). Place seam-side down in a shallow baking dish. Top with the cream sauce and the remaining ½ cup of Cheddar. Cover with foil and bake until bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes. Uncover and bake until golden, 10 to 15 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss the cabbage and scallions with the pepitas, oil, lime juice, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Serve with the enchiladas.

High in vitamin C, these hard, tart berries are grown in bogs in colder regions of North America and Europe. They’re almost
