Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. Add 1 small onion (minced), 2 garlic cloves (minced), and 16 ounces mushrooms (coarsely chopped). Sauté until the vegetables are soft and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5–7 minutes.
Transfer about half of the mushroom mixture to a bowl and set it aside for the sauce.
To the remaining mixture in the skillet, add 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth and cook about 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits.
Add 9 ounces fresh spinach (washed, drained, and coarsely chopped) to the skillet and cook until the spinach has wilted and reduced.
Stir in 4 ounces cream cheese (softened) until fully melted and incorporated.
Stir in 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or cubed). Remove the filling from heat.
For the sauce: in a small saucepan combine 1 tablespoon lime juice, 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Add the reserved mushroom mixture, 1 cup sour cream, and 1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro. Heat over low to medium-low, stirring occasionally, until the sauce just begins to thicken (do not boil).
Divide the chicken-and-spinach filling evenly among 8 flour tortillas. Spoon the filling down the center of each tortilla, roll them up, and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Pour the sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly.
Let the enchiladas rest a few minutes before serving.
