3-Cheese Enchiladas

Ingredients

  • 3 cups salsa, divided
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 4 stalks green onions, chopped, divided
  • 2.5 cups Cheddar cheese, divided
  • 2.5 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
  • 12 (8 inch) flour tortillas

  2. In a bowl, thoroughly combine 2 cups salsa, the softened cream cheese, and half of the chopped green onions.
  3. Gently stir in 2 cups Cheddar cheese and 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese until just mixed.
  4. Spoon approximately 1/2 cup of the cheese mixture down the middle of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla around the filling.

  6. Spread the last 1 cup of salsa evenly over the top of the enchiladas.
  7. In a separate bowl, lightly mix the remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar and 1/2 cup Monterey Jack. Sprinkle this cheese blend over the salsa, then top with the rest of the green onions. Cover the dish with aluminium foil.
  8. Bake in the heated oven for about 20 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
