Red Chile Sauce

Enchiladas

Method

Prepare the Filling

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.

  2. 2

    Add the Mushrooms

    Add the oyster mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are soft and browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Mix in Goat Cheese

    Remove from heat and fold in crumbled goat cheese until well combined. Set aside.

Make the Red Chile Sauce

  1. 4

    Prepare the Chiles

    Remove stems and seeds from dried red chiles. In a saucepan, bring vegetable broth to a boil and add chiles and whole garlic cloves. Simmer for about 10 minutes until the chiles are soft.

  2. 5

    Blend the Sauce

    Transfer the mixture to a blender, add cumin and salt, and blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assemble the Enchiladas

  1. 6

    Soften Tortillas

    In a skillet, heat olive oil and lightly fry each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 7

    Fill the Tortillas

    Place about 1/4 cup of the mushroom and goat cheese mixture in the center of each tortilla. Roll them up and place seam-side down in a baking dish.

  3. 8

    Top with Sauce

    Pour the red chile sauce over the rolled enchiladas, ensuring they are well covered.

  4. 9

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the enchiladas for 20-25 minutes until heated through.
