Green Chile Enchiladas with Summer Squash, Cherry Tomatoes, and Spinach

Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • Olive oil
  • 2 medium summer squash finely diced
  • 1 large shallot thinly sliced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
  • 5 ounces baby spinach
  • 8 ounces shredded jack cheese
  • 16 ounces tomatillo or green chile salsa
  • 8 ounces fat-free plain Greek yogurt
  • Ten 8-inch corn tortillas

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat two tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over a high flame. Saute the squash and shallot until tender and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the cherry tomatoes and continue to cook until the tomatoes have softened and begun releasing their juices, about 3 minutes more. Stir in the spinach and cook for another few minutes, until wilted. Set filling aside to cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, combine the salsa, yogurt, and ½ cup water or stock in a medium mixing bowl and whisk until combined. (NOTE: if the salsa is chunkier, run the ingredients through a food processor).
  • Ladle half the sauce into the bottom of a 9 x 13 casserole dish (or into two 8 x 8 dishes). Add half the cheese to the squash mixture and stir to combine. Spoon a few heaping tablespoons of the veggies into the center of one of the tortillas. Roll and place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  • Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes until the cheese is melted and beginning to brown. Serve warm alongside a simple salad
