Corn, Bean & Spinach Enchiladas
  1. To make the sauce, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Add 1 rounded teaspoon cumin, 1 rounded teaspoon chili powder, flour and tomato paste, and cook while whisking for 1 minute.

  2. Whisk in the broth and ¾ cup water, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.

  3. To make the filling, combine 1 cup of Monterey Jack, 1 cup of cheddar, the beans, spinach, corn, scallion whites, ¼ cup scallion greens and the remaining cumin and chili powder in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F, and lightly oil two 8-inch square baking dishes. Set aside.

  5. Stack the tortillas in aluminum foil, wrap them up and heat them in the oven or 5 to 10 minutes.

  6. Top each warmed tortilla with ⅓ heaping cup of filling. Roll the tortillas tightly, and arrange them, seam side down, in the oiled baking dishes.

  7. Top the enchiladas with the sauce, and sprinkle on the remaining ½ cup of each kind of cheese, divided evenly between the baking dishes.

  8. Bake, uncovered, until the enchiladas are hot and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes, and then serve garnished with the remaining scallion greens.
