Delicious, if not precisely what I was expecting. ^_^ I used 2 packages of frozen spinach since the bunches of spinach were pretty grody-looking at my grocery store, thawed and drained, and I could have stood to use more. Light sour cream, 2 cans mild green enchilada sauce, plus 1 can black beans and 3 shredded chicken breasts baked with black pepper, garlic powder and red pepper. I made this casserole style. Coated the bottom with sour cream/sauce mixture, laid down a layer of corn tortillas, then spinach, chicken, beans, rest of sour cream/sauce mixture, cheese (Mexican-style shredded 4 cheese blend), then more tortillas, sauce and cheese. My tortillas were a little mushy when it was done, but I think my spinach wasn't drained well and I might have used a little too much sauce. Honestly the soft texture didn't bother us because it gave it that casserole texture where everything is soft and mixed together, almost like quiche or a mashed potato casserole. There was literally no spice whatsoever to my dish since all I had was mild green chile sauce, but the flavor was delicious and unique and wasn't lacking in interest, so we didn't miss the fact that it wasn't spicy. My fiance noted that you wouldn't necessarily think to combine those ingredients in a Mexican casserole, but that it was surprisingly compatible and a serious stick-to-your-ribs dinner. Which was good since I forgot to make Mexican rice for a side dish like I'd planned. ^_^
