Spinchiladas with Chicken


So I had this massive bag of spinach and a table full of jalapeno's and anaheim chili's I picked yesterday from my garden and I had this brilliant idea... SPINCHILADAS!  I know... sounds nuts but Good God!  I served them "montadas" (with an egg on top) which is how enchiladas are traditionally served in Chihuahua.  You have to try making these!

5 Jalapenos
2-5 Anaheim Chili's (I used very small ones)
1/2 Onion
4 Garlic Cloves
5 Handfulls of Baby Spinach
1/2 Cup of Water 
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1/2 Teaspoon Kosher Salt (Omit for Clean Eats)
1/2 Teaspoon Oregano
2 Poached Chicken Breast Shredded
6 Corn or Flour Torillas (to make it a Clean Eats use Sprouted Tortillas)
2 Cups Monterey Jack Cheese (Omit for Clean Eats)

Heat the oil and add the chile's and the onion... 

Add the garlic... 

Cook at med heat for about 7-10 minutes... 


Put in blender or food processor and add the salt, oregano... 

Push the spinach in and make it fit!  Add the water... 

Blend until smooth... 


Heat your tortilla of choice in a pan with a tiny drizzle of oil... 

SHred the chicken ... 

Put some of the chicken in the center... 


Smooth on some of the sauce and sprinkle with cheese... 

Roll and set n the center of the plate... 


Smoother in more sauce... 

A bit more cheese... and microwave for about 1-2 minutes until all the cheese is melted... 

Place over medium eggs on top... 




MMMmmmm....
