Chicken Spinach Enchiladas Verdes

March 27, 2012 7 comments Article Lunch, Main Course, Meat, Recipes, Vegetables

First off, I want to say thank you to all my followers who voted for me in the Whole Foods Market Best Baked Breakfast contest; I WON! Winning a $75 gift card to Whole Foods was so exciting! I also have an interview on the Whole Foods blog that you can check out here. Please check out my winning Breakfast Pizza recipe!

As for these? I love enchiladas. I always get excited when I find a new enchilada or come up with my own. Do you remember the Chicken, White Bean and Chorizo Enchiladas? Those probably are still my favorite homemade enchiladas, but if you are more of a green enchilada person, this recipe is also delicious! Although I think I must say that my all-time favorite enchilada was a Spicy Ahi Enchilada at Luibueno’s in Haliewa, HI. I will try to do a restaurant review of the place soon so I can share them with you!
