Spinach Enchiladas
Why I Love This Recipe
A friend gave this recipe to me years ago and it became a family favorite right away, even before my kids became vegetarians. The recipe originally called for frying the corn tortillas before filling them, but I just soften them in the microwave. That means they may not always hold together, so be forewarned - they taste better than they look.
