    Walnut and Mushroom Vegetarian Enchiladas





    1 cup walnuts
    1 and 1/2 cups cauliflower florets (about half a medium head)
    6 whole crimini mushrooms
    1/2 yellow onion, roughly chopped
    2 teaspoons smoked paprika
    2 teaspoons ground cumin
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    1 4oz can diced green chiles (mild or hot)
    2 10oz cans enchilada sauce (red or green)
    10oz baby spinach
    8 corn tortillas
    1/2 cup shredded Mexican cheese (optional)
    Chopped veggies and cilantro, for garnish (optional)


     Step 1
    • Preheat oven to 350⁰F.
    Step 2
    • Combine cauliflower, mushrooms, onion, and walnuts in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped, resembling the texture of ground meat.
    • Add this mixture to a large sauté pan with the smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, green chilies, and 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce. Cook over medium-high heat for up to 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and any liquid in the pan has evaporated.
    • Stir in the spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until wilted.
    Step 3
    • Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce evenly into the bottom of a baking dish (6x11 or 6x13).
    • Scoop about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of filling into each tortilla, roll up, and place seam side down in the pan. Pour remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top.
    Step 4
    • Top with cheese, if desired, then cover with foil and bake at 350⁰F for 20-30 minutes, until heated through and the edges are slightly crispy.
    • Serve hot; garnish with chopped veggies and cilantro, if desired.
