Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 unit White onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 16 ounces Cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2.5 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 12 units Corn tortillas
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 units Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion, cooking until softened and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
Add the remaining olive oil and stir in the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, or until the mushrooms are browned and their liquid has mostly evaporated.
Season the filling with cumin, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir well and remove the skillet from heat. Set the mushroom mixture aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes, creating a roux.
Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, whisking to combine until smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
Whisk in the sour cream, 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.
Soften the corn tortillas by briefly heating them in a dry skillet or microwaving them for 20 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel.
Spread 1/2 cup of the creamy sauce evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the mushroom filling into the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with all tortillas.
Pour the remaining creamy sauce over the rolled enchiladas, ensuring they are evenly covered.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the top.
Bake the enchiladas in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove from the oven, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, and serve warm with lime wedges on the side.
