Spinach And Mushroom Enchiladas Recipes

SPINACH MUSHROOM ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil spray and set aside.
• Add the olive oil to a large skillet set over medium heat. When hot, add the onion and cook until it starts to soften, about 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add in all the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and the mushrooms have released most of their juices, about 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the cumin, paprika, salt and pepper. Add in the spinach, a few handfuls at a time, and cook until wilted.
• Increase the heat slightly and continue to cook until the liquid released from the mushrooms has evaporated, about 1 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 1/2 cup of the cheese. Mix until well combined, then taste and season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
• Heat the tortillas for about 45 seconds in the microwave so that they are pliable.
• Scoop 1/3 cup of the filling and place in a line down the center of a tortilla. Roll the tortilla up tightly and transfer to the prepared baking dish with the seam-side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
• Evenly pour the salsa verde over the top of the enchiladas, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and then return to the oven to bake for 5 to 7 additional minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Garnish as desired.

SPINACH AND MUSHROOM ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• For the sauce: Combine all of the sauce ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until all of the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. If desired, you can puree with an immersion blender or an immersion blender for a smooth consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Thin with water, if necessary. While the sauce is simmering, make the filling.
• For the filling: Heat a 12-inch nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook until the onions are translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until they have released most of their liquid, about 6 minutes. Add a few tablespoons of water if the mushrooms get too dry. Add the spinach and cook until it is heated through. Combine the milk and the cornstarch to make a slurry. Add the milk mixture and bring to a simmer. Once the mixture comes to a simmer, the cornstarch will thicken the liquid. Cook for 1 minute. Add the cumin, chipotle, and lime juice and mix well. Remove from the heat and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Cool slightly.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Wrap the tortillas in a wet paper towel and microwave for 15 seconds to heat. Ladle 1/2 of the sauce into the bottom of a baking dish. Place a few tablespoons of the filling on each tortilla and roll into a cylinder. Place, seam side down in the dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Top with the remaining sauce and the cheese. Bake, uncovered, until heated through and bubbly, about 25 to 30 minutes.

SPINACH AND MUSHROOM ENCHILADAS WITH CILANTRO CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Filling: Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat and saute onions, garlic and mushrooms until soft and liquid has evaporated, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Remove half of the mushroom mixture and set aside, reserving for the sauce.
• Add wine and cook for 2 minutes more.
• Add spinach and cook until spinach is wilted and liquid has evaporated. Taste and add salt or season salt to taste IF NEEDED.
• Sauce: In a small sauce pan combine water, wine/juice, seasoned salt, chicken bouillon and garlic powder. Stir to dissolve before adding reserved mushroom mixture, sour cream and cilantro. Reduce heat to simmer until sauce just begins to thicken.
• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Wrap tortillas in paper towels and heat in microwave for a minute or so just to soften them.
• Divide filling evenly among the warm tortillas, fill and roll and place them seam side down in a greased 9x13 pan.
• Pour sauce over enchiladas, top with shredded cheese and bake 10-15 minutes- just until cheese is melted- browned if you like- and the entire dish has heated through.

• Scoop about 2 tablespoons spinach mixture, 1 tablespoon cream mixture, and 1 to 2 tablespoons shredded Monterey Jack cheese into a tortilla. Roll up and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Spread any remaining cream mixture on top of enchiladas.

SPINACH MUSHROOM CASHEW ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch square or 9-by-13-inch baking pan with vegetable oil or cooking spray.
• Combine the mushrooms and cashews in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped.
• Heat the olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms and cashews and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms cook down and reduce, about 5 minutes.
• While the mushrooms cook, combine the onion and garlic in the food processor bowl (no need to rinse it out first) and pulse until coarsely chopped. Transfer to the skillet with the mushrooms. Add all of the spices and tomato paste and stir to combine. Continue to cook until the liquid has evaporated and the mixture has thickened and reduced, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the spinach and cook 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 cup of the sour cream and 1 cup of the mozzarella. Set aside.
• Place about 1/2 cup of the salsa verde in the baking pan and spread to coat the bottom in a thin layer. Working with 1 tortilla at a time, place a generous spoonful of the filling down the center of the tortilla. Roll it closed and place seam-side down in the baking pan. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling, using as much filling as possible in each tortilla. (If using a square pan, you may need to cut one of the tortillas in half to fill the space.)
• Pour the remaining salsa verde over the filled baking pan, tilting to spread the salsa evenly. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella.
• Bake until bubbling, the cheese is melted and slightly golden and the tortilla edges are toasted, about 30 minutes.
• Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then serve topped with dollops of the remaining sour cream and sprinkled with the cilantro.
