Directions
Step one: Preheat the oven to 350° F. (175 degrees C).
Step two: In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of salsa, cream cheese, and 1/2 of the green onions until well mixed. Stir in 2 cups of cheddar cheese and 2 cups of Monterey Jack cheese.
Step three: Spoon a scant 1/2 cup of cheese filling down the center of each tortilla. Wrap the tortillas around the filling. Place the enchiladas in a 9x13-inch baking dish, seam side down.
Step four: On top of the enchiladas, spread the remaining 1 cup of salsa.
Step five: In a bowl, lightly combine the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar and 1/2 cup of Monterey Jack. Then, distribute the remaining green onions on top of the cheese mixture that has been spread over the enchiladas. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
Step six: Bake for about 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
