What Goes in Portobello Mushroom and Spinach Enchiladas?
To make your Portobello mushroom recipe, you’ll need to grab a few necessary ingredients on your next grocery trip!
Start by finding 2 large, good-quality portobello mushrooms. You’ll also want a sweet bell pepper of your choice, a lime, and 12 ounces of fresh spinach. Before you leave the produce section, grab any ingredients you’ll want to serve on top of your enchiladas, like avocado, tomato, or lettuce!
In the middle of the store, add a 15-ounce can of black beans to your cart, as well as a 10-count of corn tortillas, and 2 (10 oz) cans of mild enchilada sauce. Be sure to get extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, paprika, and dried cilantro, if your pantry is lacking any of these items.
Round out your shopping trip by swinging through the refrigerated area to grab shredded Mexican cheese, as well as guacamole, sour cream, or salsa, if you plan to add these toppings to your enchiladas.
How to Make Your Portobello Mushroom and Spinach Enchiladas
Are you ready to make your Portobello mushroom recipe? Let’s get started!
First, you’ll need to preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Next, remove the stems from your mushrooms and wipe them clean with a damp towel. Slice them lengthwise, setting them aside in a bowl.
Grab your colored pepper and slice it into strips, as well. Add these to the bowl.
Rinse your spinach in a colander and set aside.
Now pour enough enchilada sauce to cover the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Save the remaining sauce for later.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Add the mushrooms and peppers. Stir and cover with a large lid. Stir the veggies every minute for about 5-6 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
Next, add 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, 2 teaspoons of chili powder, 2 teaspoons of cumin, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and 1 teaspoon of cilantro—salt and pepper to taste.
Then add the juice of one lime, the drained and rinsed black beans, and your spinach. Cook another 3-4 minutes, stirring often. Remove from the heat and set aside.
To prepare the corn tortillas, brush both sides of each tortilla with extra virgin olive oil. Place a small skillet over medium heat. Cook both sides of each tortilla for about 30 seconds or until it is lightly browned. Set each on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any additional oil.
Now it’s time to assemble! Scoop 2 tablespoons of the mushroom mixture down the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese.
Roll the tortilla up and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas until all the tortillas and filling are used.
Finally, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over top of the tortillas.
Sprinkle with your desired amount of cheese.
Bake the dish uncovered for 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted. Sprinkle with additional cilantro. Serve with your favorite sides!
