SPINACH AND MUSHROOM ENCHILADAS WITH CILANTRO CREAM SAUCE



Spinach and Mushroom Enchiladas With Cilantro Cream Sauce image

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.)

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

12 corn tortillas or 12 flour tortillas
1 1/2 cups monterey jack cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon butter
1 small onion, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb mushroom, chopped
1/4 cup white wine
12 ounces fresh spinach, washed, drained and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup lime juice or 1/4 cup wine
3/4 cup water
season salt, to taste (reduced to 1 t from 1 T and it was still considered salty please adjust to your taste or leave out a) (optional)
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granule
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped, use the amount that suits your taste
1 cup sour cream

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.
