Preparation
Step 1
In a large skillet, saute spinach until wilted. Drain and remove. In the same pan, melt butter. Stir in flour until smooth; gradually add cream and milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Stir in the chilies, green onions, cilantro, garlic, spices and spinach. Remove from the heat; cool slightly. Transfer to a food processor; cover and process until pureed. Stir in sour cream; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine cheeses; set aside 1 cup for topping. Add onion and cilantro to remaining cheese mixture; toss to combine. Place about 1/4 cup cheese-onion mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll up and place seam side down in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
Pour sauce over top. Sprinkle with reserved cheese mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 6 servings.
