Cheese and Spinach Enchilada

2 oz Butter
2 Garlic Cloves (chopped)
4 C Spinach (chiffonade)
2 oz White Wine
1 tsp Salt
½ tsp Black Pepper
6 Soft Flour Tortillas Shells
20 oz Enchilada Sauce (previous recipe)
10 oz Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)
10 oz Cheddar Cheese (shredded)

Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium-sized sauté pan, over medium-high heat, melt butter and add garlic. Sauté for 30 to 45 second then add spinach and sauté. Deglaze with white wine and add salt and pepper. Sauté for about 10 to 15 seconds, just enough to coat the spinach with the wine and garlic mixture. Strain immediately and set aside. Warm tortilla shells in the oven for about 1 minute. Remove shells and mix both cheeses together in a separate bowl. Spread about 1 oz of the mixed cheeses on each tortilla shell. Cover cheese with about 1½ oz of enchilada sauce. Spread spinach over sauce and roll the tortilla shells. Arrange enchiladas in a large baking dish and pour remaining sauce evenly over enchiladas. Top with cheese.
Bake enchiladas in preheated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until cheese has melted nicely over the enchiladas.
Remove from oven and serve.
