Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

02

Step

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms have released their moisture and are lightly browned, approximately 7-10 minutes.

03

Step

Add the coarsely chopped spinach to the skillet and toss until it wilts, about 3 minutes. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

04

Step

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced tomatoes (half drained), softened neufchatel cheese, 8 ounces of sour cream, and ground cumin. Stir continuously until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth and well combined, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.

05

Step

To soften the corn tortillas for easy rolling, wrap them in between two damp paper towels and microwave on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until pliable.

06

Step

Assemble the enchiladas: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the spinach and mushroom mixture, 1 tablespoon of the cream sauce mixture, and 1 to 2 tablespoons of shredded Monterey Jack cheese into a warmed tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

07

Step

Pour any remaining cream sauce mixture evenly over the top of the rolled enchiladas. Sprinkle any remaining shredded Monterey Jack cheese generously over the top.

08

Step

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted.

09

Step

Remove the foil and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden brown.

10

Step

Remove from the oven and let stand for a few minutes before serving. Garnish each serving with a dollop of the remaining sour cream and a spoonful of your favorite salsa.

For a richer flavor, consider using a combination of wild mushrooms like shiitake or cremini in addition to the more common varieties.
Adjust the amount of cream sauce to your preference. For lighter enchiladas, use less; for a more decadent dish, use more.
To prevent the tortillas from tearing, ensure they are sufficiently warmed and pliable before rolling.
These enchiladas can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. Add about 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the filling, such as bell peppers, zucchini, or corn.

    A great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables. They didn't even realize there was spinach in them!

    This recipe is a keeper! I sometimes add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the cream sauce for a little heat.

    I made this for a vegetarian potluck, and they were a hit! I used poblano peppers instead of regular tomatoes for a smoky flavor.

    These enchiladas are so versatile. I've used different types of mushrooms and cheeses, and they always turn out delicious.

    Delicious! I found that warming the tortillas in a dry skillet instead of the microwave worked better for me.

    I tried this recipe with gluten-free tortillas, and it worked perfectly!

    Turned out great! I had some leftover roasted vegetables, so I added them to the filling as well.

    These were amazing! I added a can of black beans to the spinach mixture for extra protein.
