It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

1 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cup shredded monterey jack cheese, divided

directions
In a large resealable plastic bag, place chicken, salsa, olive oil, juice, tequila, garlic, onion and bell pepper. Marinate in refrigerator at least 2 hours, turning every 30 minutes. Remove chicken from marinade. Heat vegetable oil in skillet; brown chicken. Remove from heat, let cool, then chop chicken into small cubes.
Remove onion and bell pepper from marinade, reserving marinade. Chop onion and bell pepper. Melt 2 Tbsp butter; saute onion and bell pepper until softened. Place in a bowl; stir in chicken and chilies. Set aside.
Melt remaining butter in pan; blend in flour, chili powder, coriander and cumin. Whisk in broth. Cook, stirring, until sauce boils. Remove from heat; stir in sour cream and 1/2 cup cheese. Stir 1/2 cup sauce into chicken mixture.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Pour reserved marinade into skillet; bring to a boil. Dip each tortilla into marinade to soften slightly. Spoon chicken mixture down center of each tortilla. Roll up tortillas and arrange in a 9x13 pan. Drizzle remaining sauce and marinade over tortillas. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, 25 minutes or until hot.
cook's notes
I didn't pour the marinade over the enchiladas since I felt the sauce was plenty and they turned out fine.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
