Ingredients

  • 1 pkg (10 oz/284 g) fresh spinach
  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 can (19 oz/540 mL) red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup mild salsa
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels
  • 3 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 10 large flour tortillas
  • 1 large tomato, sliced

Preparation

Trim and rinse spinach; shake off excess water. In large saucepan, cover and cook spinach over medium heat, with just the water clinging to leaves, for 8 minutes or until wilted. Drain in sieve, pressing out moisture. Let cool slightly and chop.

In food processor or blender, process cottage cheese until smooth. Add egg, 1/4 cup (50 mL) of the shredded cheese and pepper; pulse to combine. In bowl, stir cottage cheese mixture with spinach; set aside.

In separate bowl, mash beans with fork; stir in salsa, corn and 2 tbsp (25 mL) of the coriander. (Recipe can be prepared to this point, covered and refrigerated for up to 12 hours).

Stir garlic into cheese mixture. Place 1 tortilla on baking sheet. Spread with generous 1/2 cup (125 mL) cheese mixture; cover with another tortilla. Spread with generous 1/2 cup (125 mL) salsa mixture; cover with another tortilla. Repeat cheese and salsa layers 3 times. Spread with remaining cheese mixture; top with remaining tortilla. Arrange tomato on top; sprinkle with remaining shredded cheese.

Bake in 350ºF (180ºC) oven for 30 minutes. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden. Garnish with remaining coriander.
