Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Russet potatoes
- 4 cups Kale
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 12 Corn tortillas
- 4 Dried guajillo chilies
- 2 Dried ancho chilies
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 2 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- Vegetable oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and dice the potatoes into small 1-inch cubes. Boil them for about 8 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are boiling, remove the stems from the kale and chop the leaves into small pieces. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Dice the onion and sauté it in the skillet for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Mince the garlic, add it to the skillet, and cook for an additional minute.
Add the chopped kale to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes until wilted.
Mix the cooked potatoes into the kale mixture. Add ground cumin, smoked paprika, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir well, then remove the skillet from heat and set aside as the filling.
To make the roasted chili sauce, remove the stems and seeds from the guajillo and ancho chilies. Toast the chilies in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until aromatic, being careful not to burn them.
In the same skillet, char the tomatoes by cooking them over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is blistered.
Transfer the toasted chilies and charred tomatoes to a blender. Add the vegetable broth, apple cider vinegar, cilantro, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.
Pour the chili sauce into a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Lightly spray a large baking dish with vegetable oil. Pour a thin layer of the chili sauce onto the bottom of the dish to prevent sticking.
Warm the corn tortillas either in a dry skillet or in the microwave (covered with a damp paper towel) to make them pliable.
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the potato and kale mixture onto each tortilla, roll it up tightly, and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Pour the remaining chili sauce evenly over the enchiladas, ensuring each is fully covered.
Bake the enchiladas in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the edges of the tortillas are slightly crispy.
Serve hot, garnished with additional cilantro if desired. Enjoy!
