CILANTRO CREAM SAUCE
Our local television station here in Houston has a segment on Sundays that airs local restaurants and it's recipes. I have been waiting and waiting for this one! This Cilantro Cream Sauce is served over Chicken Enchiladas and they are to die for in my opinion. This cream sauce is absolutely evil :) It's a very very rich sauce and should be avoided by all dieters! I made this and poured it over some chicken enchiladas which came out great but now I'm thinking of a pasta dish and substituting the alfredo sauce with this one. The possiblities are endless with this recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

SPINACH AND MUSHROOM ENCHILADAS WITH CILANTRO CREAM SAUCE
I LOVE these spinach enchiladas. They are just like the ones served at one of my fave restaurants! If you like spinach, you will love these. If you don't like spinach- you will probably find that this recipe changes your mind. (Altered recipe after reviews regarding the saltiness and amount of sauce. I have not had that problem, but do not want anyone to have a bad result. Please do try this and enjoy it.)

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.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh cilantro. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro, but the flavor will be less intense.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk or half-and-half. However, the sauce will be thinner.
- If you want a spicier sauce, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder.
- To make a vegan version of this sauce, use a plant-based milk and yogurt.
- This sauce is also delicious on grilled chicken, fish, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Mama's Cilantro Cream Sauce is a versatile and delicious sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you're looking for a creamy sauce for your pasta, a dipping sauce for your appetizers, or a flavorful marinade for your grilled meats, this sauce is sure to please.
