DIRECTIONS
| |
Preheat the oven to 425°. Line a baking sheet and set aside.
| |
Dice bell pepper, onions, and garlic, and destem and dice jalapeños. Juice the limes, but keep them separate (one is for filling and one is for the sauce)
| |
Hull and half the tomatillos and place on lined baking sheet. Cook in oven for 20 minutes. *Set a Timer*
| |
Cook lentils as directed on packaging and the juice of one lime. (Use vegetable broth for more flavor if preferred.)
| |
In a small pan, warm 3 Tbsp of oil over medium heat, then sauté peppers, onions, and garlic. When finished pour half in a bowl for sauce, and half in a bowl for filling.
| |
Combine remaining oil with 3 Tbsp of cilantro, 1 tsp of oregano, 1 tsp of black pepper, 1 tsp of cumin, salt, and sage with Mushrooms. Stir well to combine spices and oil, then sauté, adding spinach the last few minutes.
| |
Remove tomatillos from heat when timer goes off, and when cool enough to handle transfer to food processor along with diced jalapeños and onion-pepper mix. Add lime juice and remaining spices and cilantro, and blend until smooth. (You may want to add a few cubes of diced avocado for a creamier texture, but wait to slice avocado until right before filling enchiladas to minimize oxidation) (Voila! Salsa Verde!)
| |
When lentils are finished cooking, add other half of pepper-onion mix and sautéed mushroom spinach mixture.
| |
Slice avocado and add to enchilada “meat”. Fill tortillas along one edge of the shell ⅓ of the way with filling, add ½ Tbsp of salsa, then wrap and place seam side down in an oven safe baking dish.
| |
Once tortillas are in place, top off with Salsa Verde and then place in oven for 10-15 minutes, or until shell edges are lightly browned and sauce is gently bubbling.
| |
Let cool and Enjoy!
