Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 (10-ounce) cans tomatoes with chiles
1 small onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon chopped oregano leaves
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large red onion, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 pound portobello mushrooms, cleaned and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 (10-ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed to remove excess water
1/2 cup skim milk
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon minced chipotle in adobo (optional)
1 lime, juiced
4 (6-inch) low-fat corn tortillas
1/4 cup queso blanco

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 ENCHILADAS WITH CILANTRO CREAM SAUCE RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Spinach Enchiladas with Cilantro Cream Sauce Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by á-8559

Number Of Ingredients 20

4 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach or 4 bunches fresh spinach, cooked
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1 large onion, chopped
1 lb fresh mushrooms, halved
1 tablespoon butter
2 slices white bread, crusts removed
salt
2 teaspoons white pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
2 eggs
2 cups grated monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend, divided
10 -12 flour tortillas
Cilantro Cream Sauce
3 cups half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch, plus
2 teaspoons cornstarch, dissolved in a small amount of cold water
3 cups chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • For enchiladas, cook the spinach according to the package directions, if using frozen. While spinach is cooking, combine garlic, onion and mushrooms in food processor, and process until coarsely chopped. Melt butter in sauté pan, and sauté onion mixture until onion is translucent. Remove pan from heat, and set aside. Drain spinach, squeezing out excess water. Make bread crumbs in food processor from sliced bread. Add spinach, salt, pepper, nutmeg, chili powder and eggs. Process until blended thoroughly. Transfer to mixing bowl, and stir in onion mixture and 6 tablespoons cheese. Preheat broiler. Spoon a portion of filling onto each tortilla and roll it up. Place each enchilada in casserole dish, seam side down. Repeat until you've used up filling. For cream sauce, mix half-and-half, cayenne, salt and a little of the dissolved corn starch in medium saucepan, and heat until thickened. The sauce should be creamy, not runny; add more cornstarch mixture as necessary. Off the heat, stir in cilantro. Pour Cilantro Cream Sauce over tortillas, and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Broil until cheese melts and turns a nice golden color.

Tips:

  • Prep the Ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all the ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help save time and ensure the cooking process goes smoothly.
  • Use Fresh Spinach: Fresh spinach is best for this recipe, as it has a more vibrant flavor and texture. You can also use frozen spinach, but make sure to thaw and squeeze out any excess water before using.
  • Sauté the Vegetables: Sautéing the mushrooms and onions in butter or olive oil enhances their flavor and gives them a slightly caramelized texture.
  • Use a Thick Enchilada Sauce: A thick enchilada sauce will help hold the enchiladas together and prevent them from falling apart. You can use a store-bought or homemade sauce.
  • Assemble the Enchiladas: Lay the tortillas flat and spread a layer of enchilada sauce, spinach and mushroom mixture, and cheese along the center. Fold the sides over the filling and roll up tightly.
  • Bake the Enchiladas: Bake the enchiladas in a preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tortillas are slightly browned.
  • Make the Cilantro Cream Sauce: While the enchiladas are baking, make the cilantro cream sauce by combining sour cream, milk, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. This sauce adds a cooling and flavorful contrast to the spicy enchiladas.

Conclusion:

These spinach and mushroom enchiladas with cilantro cream sauce are a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. For a spicier version, use a hotter enchilada sauce or add some chopped jalapeños to the filling. For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken. Serve with your favorite toppings, such as guacamole, sour cream, and salsa.
