Ingredients

  • One 16 ounce jar medium salsa, divided
  • Two 10 ounce cans enchilada sauce
  • One 8 ounce package cream cheese (low fat is okay)
  • One 10 ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed & squeezed dry
  • cups shredded or chopped roasted chicken
  • Ten 8 inch flour tortillas
  • One 8 ounce package shredded Mexican four-cheese blend
  • Extra toppings: shredded lettuce, guacamole, chopped fresh cilantro, chopped red onion, halved grape tomatoes, as desired

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
