Ingredients
  • 5 Ancho Chiles (note the spelling; in TM!)
  • 1 cups Heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic; minced
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 0.5 Yellow onion
  • 6 oz Sliced wild/exotic mushrooms
  • 3 oz Queso fresco or Feta; crumbled
  • 1 tablespoons Chopped cilantro
  • 1 Tomato blanched, peeled, seeded, diced
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 375F (190C).
  2. 2
    Stem and seed the ancho chiles, then simmer in hot water for 15 minutes until soft. Blend the softened chiles with half of the heavy cream, garlic, and salt until smooth to create the enchilada sauce.
  3. 3
    In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Saut the chopped yellow onion until translucent, then add the sliced wild mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are browned and their liquid has evaporated. Stir in the lime juice and season with salt.
  4. 4
    Warm the corn tortillas briefly in a microwave or dry skillet to make them pliable.
  5. 5
    Spread a thin layer of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of a baking dish.
  6. 6
    Fill each tortilla with the mushroom mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  7. 7
    Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas.
  8. 8
    Bake for 20-25 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the tortillas are heated through.
  9. 9
    Top with diced tomato, cubed avocado, crumbled queso fresco or feta, and chopped cilantro before serving.

Note

To make this recipe fully vegan, substitute the heavy cream with unsweetened coconut cream or cashew cream, and use a vegan cheese alternative instead of queso fresco.

Wild mushrooms such as cremini, shiitake, or oyster mushrooms work best for their robust flavor, but standard button mushrooms can be used in a pinch.

If you prefer a spicier sauce, leave some seeds in the ancho chiles or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warm.
