    Combine 2 cups pepper Jack cheese, ricotta cheese, spinach, egg, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

    Place 6 corn tortillas in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Add 1/2 of the vegetable mixture using a slotted spoon, followed by 1/2 of the cheese and spinach mixture. Add a layer of 6 tortillas and follow with remaining vegetables and remaining cheese mixture. Top with remaining tortillas. Spread enchilada sauce across the top and remaining pepper Jack cheese.

    Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbly, 45 minutes to 1 hour.



    Cook’s Note

    The flavor is dependent on the salsa and enchilada sauce used. For example, if you do not like spicy foods, use a mild salsa and enchilada sauce.
