Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the green onions and the garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the spinach and cook for 5 minutes. Take off the heat and mix in 1 cup Monterey Jack, the ricotta cheese, and the sour cream.

Warm one tortilla in a skillet over medium heat until pliable, about 15 seconds. Repeat to warm the remaining tortillas. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the spinach mixture onto the center of each tortilla, roll the tortilla around the filling, and place it in a 9x13-inch baking dish with the seam facing down. Pour the enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup Monterey Jack.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
