about these for a while, so here we go. This is also my first attempt at making homemade enchilada sauce (easier than I thought). Of course, lacking any sense of portion control, I filled an entire 9" X 11" baking pan for just myself; if you let these rest in the fridge for a few days, you end up with tamale pie - or something like that. You're welcome.
THE RECIPE
FILLING
2T EV olive oil
1 large onion, minced
6 cloves garlic, minced
3 carrots, shredded
3 stalks celery, minced
1/4 head cauliflower, minced
1/8th head green cabbage, shredded
1/4 C spinach leaves, sliced
12 - 15 crimini mushrooms, thinly sliced
8-10 Thai chilies, thinly sliced
8 oz. frozen or fresh green peas
1/2 C garbanzo beans, minced
1/2 bunch Italian parsley leaves, minced
1/2 bunch cilantro leaves, minced
Sea salt & ground black pepper, to taste
1T lemon juice
Shredded cheese
Corn tortillas
Preheat oven to 350° F
3T EV olive oil
Extra cheese for garnish
Extra cilantro for garnish
Saute all vegetables over medium high flame until cooked; remove from heat. Heat the 3T oil in a skillet over medium heat. Dip corn tortillas into hot oil; turn and set onto a large plate. Stuff tortillas with vegetable mixture, add cheese
Bake approximately 30 minutes, until enchiladas are heated through, and cheese is melted. Serve with charro beans, rice, or green salad.
