Cooking Time: 20 mins

Servings: 4

Ingredients

• ½ cup diced tomatoes
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 3 teaspoons minced canned chipotle chiles
• 1 ½ cups cottage cheese
• ½ cup chopped spinach
• 1 cup shredded cheese
• 4 spring onions, sliced, white and green parts separated
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 8 6-inch corn tortillas
• Salt to taste

Method

Preheat oven to 230°C or 450°F. Greese an 8-inch-square baking dish.

Blend tomatoes, onion, 2 teaspoons chipotle and salt to a puree until smooth. Mash cottage cheese in a medium bowl; stir in spinach, ½ cup cheese, scallion whites, garlic powder and the remaining 1 teaspoon chipotle.

Spread ¼ cup of the tomato sauce in the prepared baking dish. Cover with 4 tortillas overlapping. Spread on ½ cup sauce, then all the spinach filling. Top with another ¼ cup sauce. Layer on the remaining 4 tortillas and the remaining 1 cup sauce. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup cheese on top.

Bake the casserole until the cheese is melted and the filling is hot, about 25 minutes. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the reserved spring onion greens.
