Spinach & Mushroom Enchiladas with Salsa Verde

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350F and set a 9×13″ casserole dish aside. Make the Salsa Verde, if you haven’t already.

Step 2

heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat (for oil free, use 1/4 cup of water and add more as necessary, to prevent sticking). Add the onion to the pan and sauté for 3 minutes, until fragrant and translucent. Add the mushrooms, corn, and jalapeño and sauté for another 3-5 minutes, until the mushrooms start to brown. Then, add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, and a pinch of salt to the pan; sauté for 1 minute, then add in the baby spinach. Cook until the spinach has wilted, then remove from the heat and set aside.

Step 3

Wrap the tortillas in a wet (but not dripping) clean dish towel (or paper towels) and place on a plate. Microwave for 1 minute, to soften the tortillas. Carefully remove the tortillas from the microwave – they will be very hot.

Step 4

Pour 1 cup of Salsa Verde onto the bottom of the casserole dish and spread around evenly. Remove 1 tortilla from the wet towel and place on a clean surface; carefully spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of filling into the center of the tortilla and use clean hands to form it into a long “line” – be careful not to overstuff! Roll the tortilla away from you, then place it into the casserole dish, fold side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas; be sure to pack them tightly into the casserole dish.

Step 5

Top the enchiladas with the remaining Salsa Verde, using a spatula or pastry brush to ensure they are evenly coated and no dry spots remain. Bake in the middle rack of the oven for 20 minutes, until the tortillas absorb some of the sauce. Remove from the oven and top as desired; serve warm.
