Instructions

SAUCE:

  • Add 1 tablespoon evoo to a medium-size saucepan and place over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sweat for 8 to 10 minutes, until soft and translucent.
  • Add flour, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and tomato paste to the pan. Whisk all ingredients together for 2 to 3 minutes, then slowly pour in broth and continue whisking to remove any lumps.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, whisking often, for 5 to 7 minutes, until sauce thickens.
  • Remove from heat, then whisk in vinegar. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.

ENCHILADAS:

  • Add 3 tablespoons evoo to a large sauté pan and place over medium-high heat. Add onions to the pan, and caramelize for 8 minutes, until dark brown and very soft. Add mushrooms and continue cooking for 5 minutes more, until mushrooms are golden brown with crispy edges.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and kale or chard, and cook for 2 minutes, just until kale wilts. Fold in 1½ cups of cheese, reserving the remaining ½ cup for baking. 
  • Transfer the mixture to a bowl and set aside to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9- x 13-inch baking pan.
  • Pour 1/3 cup of sauce and 2 teaspoons of evoo in a small saucepan and place over low heat.
  • Once the sauce has warmed, dredge 1 tortilla in the mixture. Move tortilla to a cutting board, add 3 tablespoons of filling, and roll. Place in prepared pan, seam side down. Continue until all tortillas are filled.
  • Spoon remaining sauce over enchiladas and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  • Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and cheese has melted. Cool slightly before cutting and serving.
