Spinach And Kale Enchiladas Recipes

Steps:

• For the salsa verde: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add some salt. Add the tomatillos, garlic, cilantro, jalapeno and onion and bring back to a boil. Boil until the tomatillos turn olive green, about 10 minutes. Strain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Transfer the ingredients from the pot to a blender with the reserved cooking liquid and puree until smooth. Return the mixture to the same (empty) pot, bring to a boil and boil until the sauce is darker green and reduced, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon salt or to taste and set aside.
• For the enchiladas: Put the potatoes in a pot with enough water to cover, add some salt and cover the pot. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large pan. Add the garlic and onion and saute until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the kale and saute until wilted, about 5 minutes more. Mix in the butter and 1/4 cup of the crema until melted and smooth. Gently mix in the potatoes and 1 cup of the cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set the filling aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13-by-9-inch glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Heat enough vegetable oil to come 1 inch up the sides of a skillet to 350 degrees F over medium heat. Make an assembly line close to the stove top. Place half of the salsa verde in a cake pan (reserve the rest for topping) and put a cutting board and the potato-kale filling nearby.
• Dip a tortilla in the hot oil until golden but still pliable. Using tongs, transfer it to the cake pan with the salsa verde and turn to coat. Place the dipped tortilla on the cutting board, stuff with a scant 1/4 cup of the potato-kale filling and roll up. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, salsa verde and filling.
• Transfer the stuffed tortillas to the prepared baking dish. Top with the reserved salsa verde and remaining 1/4 cup crema and 1/4 cup cheese. Bake until darkened in spots, about 30 minutes. Serve slightly cooled.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and onion; cook for a few minutes until fragrant, but not brown. Stir in spinach, and cook for about 5 more minutes. Remove from the heat, and mix in ricotta cheese, sour cream, and 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese.
• In a skillet over medium heat, warm tortillas one at a time until flexible, about 15 seconds. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the spinach mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Roll up, and place seam side down in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour enchilada sauce over the top, and sprinkle with the remaining cup of Monterey Jack.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until sauce is bubbling and cheese is lightly browned at the edges.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spray large casserole dish with non-stick spray (you may need 2 dishes).
• Mix cream cheese and 1/2 of the salsa verde.
• Add 1/2 cup of grated cheese and mix well.
• Spread mixture onto tortilla.
• Add chopped spinach and kale on top of mixture - about 1/4 cup.
• Roll tortilla and place in casserole dish.
• Repeat until done.
• Note: Place enchiladas close to each other.
• Pour remaining salsa verde onto enchiladas.
• Top with remaining cheese.
• Bake at 305 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes.
• Serve.
• Modifications:.
• Add the greens to the cheese mixture and spreading it all on at once.
• Add mushrooms.
• Use more salsa verde.
• Use corn tortillas.

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.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a pan and cook red bell pepper, garlic, and kale about 5 minutes, covered. Add spinach, salt and black pepper, and cook about 5 minutes more. Stir in the balsamic vinegar. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Simmer pasta sauce with spices and herbs on very low heat while preparing the enchiladas.
• Peel and dice the potatoes and boil them until tenders - about 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Cook the oil and garlic over medium low heat, stirring occasionally. Add the kale, sprinkle with a little salt, and raise the heat to medium, stirring constantly to cover the kale with oil and garlic.
• Partially cover the pot to steam the kale until it has wilted - 4-6 minutes.
• Mix in the potatoes, stock, lime juice, pumpkin seeds, and salt. Use the back of a wooden spoon to mash some of the potatoes and cook another five minutes. Taste and season.
• Ladle some of the tomato sauce into the bottom of a casserole dish and spread it around. Take a warmed tortilla, run the potato mixture down the middle and roll up. Pack the tortillas into the casserole dish. Pour about a cup of sauce over the top when finished all the tortillas. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds.
• Cover tightly with foil and bake at 375°F for 25 minutes, Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes, until edges of tortillas look a little browned.
• Top individual servings with extra sauce. Serve with a green salad and some vegan guacamole.
