Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the spinach. Carefully rinse the rice (sifting through for any impurities). Drain thoroughly. In a medium pot, combine the rice, half the spice blend, a big pinch of salt, and 1 cup of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 13 to 15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork. Add the spinach; stir until wilted and combined.
Meanwhile, in a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the chorizo. Season with a pinch of the remaining spice blend (you will have extra). Cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 7 to 9 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a large bowl.
Meanwhile, drain and rinse the beans. Grate the cheddar on the large side of a box grater. In a bowl, whisk together the cilantro sauce and half the sour cream. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
To the bowl of cooked chorizo, add the spinach rice, drained beans, cotija, remaining sour cream, and a drizzle of olive oil; stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Place the tortillas on a work surface. Evenly spread about 2 cups of the filling into the bottom of a baking dish. Divide the remaining filling among the tortillas; tightly roll up each tortilla around the filling. Transfer to the baking dish in a single layer, seam side down.
Evenly top the enchiladas with the sauce and grated cheddar; season with salt and pepper. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned and the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven and let stand at least 2 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
