Ingredients
1 can diced Tomatoes (14 oz.)
1 Small sliced onion
3 tsp Minced canned chipotle chilies, divided
¼ tsp of Salt
1 ½ cup Low-fat, low-sodium cottage cheese
1 box (10 oz.) Frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1 Bunch of sliced scallions, white and green sections separated
½ tsp Garlic powder
8 Corn tortillas, 6 inches
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Using cooking spray, coat an 8-inch-square baking dish.
Combine the tomatoes, onion, 2 tablespoons of chipotle, and salt in a blender. Puree until completely smooth. In a medium mixing bowl, mash cottage cheese; add spinach, ½ cup cheese, scallion whites, garlic powder, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of chipotle.
- In the prepared baking dish, spread ¼ cup tomato sauce. Cover with 4 tortillas. Spread ½ cup sauce on top, then top with the spinach filling. Add another ¼ cup of sauce on top. Add the remaining 4 tortillas and 1 cup of sauce on the top. Top with the remaining ½ cup of cheese.
- Bake the casserole for about 25 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the contents are heated. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the reserved scallion greens.
Recipe Note
Chipotle chile peppers in adobo sauce are smoked jalapenos in a delicious, spicy sauce. In supermarkets, look for small cans of Mexican delicacies. Once opened, they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
