SPINACH MUSHROOM CASHEW ENCHILADAS



Spinach Mushroom Cashew Enchiladas image

Coarsely chopped and well-seasoned mushrooms and cashews make the perfect vegetarian ground meat substitute in this hearty and savory casserole. To cut down on time, use your favorite store-bought salsa. You can even assemble the dish in advance then bake it just before serving, for an easy weeknight dinner. Like the mushroom "meat" filling? Double that part of the recipe and freeze it to use for other easy vegetarian dishes like tacos, sloppy joes or pasta!

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Vegetable oil or nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1/2 pound button mushrooms
1 cup roasted or raw cashews (you can substitute walnuts, pecans, almonds or mixed nuts)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1 large onion
3 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons smoked Spanish paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/4 cup tomato paste
One 10-ounce box frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
One 14- to 16-ounce jar salsa verde
8 corn or flour tortillas (8 to 10 inches)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro, for garnish

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.

SPINACH AND MUSHROOM ENCHILADAS

Provided by Food Network

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.

4 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1 medium onion, diced
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
salt, to taste
crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
2 cups red enchilada sauce
3 cups reduced-fat cheddar cheese
12 corn tortillas

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium heat.

  • Add spinach and 1/2 cup enchilada sauce. Cover, reduce heat to low and cook until spinach is wilted. Remove from heat.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients in advance: Chop your veggies, measure out your spices, and cook your rice ahead of time to make the assembly process quicker and easier.
  • Don't overcrowd your pan: When cooking the mushrooms and spinach, make sure to do it in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from steaming instead of sautéing.
  • Use a good quality salsa: The salsa is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use one that you enjoy the taste of. Look for a salsa that is flavorful and has a bit of a kick to it.
  • Don't skip the cashew cream: The cashew cream adds a rich, creamy texture to the enchiladas and helps to balance out the spiciness of the salsa. If you don't have time to make your own, you can use a store-bought cashew cream or even a vegan sour cream.
  • Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and chopped cilantro. You can also serve them with a side of rice and beans.
