Best Potato And Spinach Enchiladas Recipes

SPINACH AND POTATO ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Depending on how quickly your oven heats up you can do this sometime during step 3. Preheat oven to 375.
• Heat a large saucepan or skillet to medium - high heat. Add in a little oil and let heat though
• Add the potato's, along with some salt and pepper to taste. Stirring the potato's occasionally let them cook through, letting the edges reach a nice golden brown (about 20 min.). It helps to cook them faster if you cover the pot/skillet while they are cooking.
• Add in the jalapeno's, onion, and garlic, cooking until the onion and garlic are fragrant and transparent.
• Add the spinach and cilantro last, cooking for another couple minutes.
• Grease a 13 " x 9 " baking pan, placing about 1/2 cup mixture per tortilla. Fold over both sides, and place seam down on the baking pan.
• Once all tortilla's are in the baking pan, pour enchilada sauce over, trying to cover most of the tortilla's.
• Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and green onions.
• Place in the oven for 20 min. or until cheese is bubbly and the exposed tortilla's are golden.

POTATO AND SPINACH ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Simmer pasta sauce with spices and herbs on very low heat while preparing the enchiladas.
• Peel and dice the potatoes and boil them until tenders - about 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Cook the oil and garlic over medium low heat, stirring occasionally. Add the kale, sprinkle with a little salt, and raise the heat to medium, stirring constantly to cover the kale with oil and garlic.
• Partially cover the pot to steam the kale until it has wilted - 4-6 minutes.
• Mix in the potatoes, stock, lime juice, pumpkin seeds, and salt. Use the back of a wooden spoon to mash some of the potatoes and cook another five minutes. Taste and season.
• Ladle some of the tomato sauce into the bottom of a casserole dish and spread it around. Take a warmed tortilla, run the potato mixture down the middle and roll up. Pack the tortillas into the casserole dish. Pour about a cup of sauce over the top when finished all the tortillas. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds.
• Cover tightly with foil and bake at 375°F for 25 minutes, Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes, until edges of tortillas look a little browned.
• Top individual servings with extra sauce. Serve with a green salad and some vegan guacamole.

KALE-POTATO ENCHILADAS VERDES

Steps:

• For the salsa verde: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add some salt. Add the tomatillos, garlic, cilantro, jalapeno and onion and bring back to a boil. Boil until the tomatillos turn olive green, about 10 minutes. Strain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Transfer the ingredients from the pot to a blender with the reserved cooking liquid and puree until smooth. Return the mixture to the same (empty) pot, bring to a boil and boil until the sauce is darker green and reduced, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon salt or to taste and set aside.
• For the enchiladas: Put the potatoes in a pot with enough water to cover, add some salt and cover the pot. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large pan. Add the garlic and onion and saute until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the kale and saute until wilted, about 5 minutes more. Mix in the butter and 1/4 cup of the crema until melted and smooth. Gently mix in the potatoes and 1 cup of the cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set the filling aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13-by-9-inch glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Heat enough vegetable oil to come 1 inch up the sides of a skillet to 350 degrees F over medium heat. Make an assembly line close to the stove top. Place half of the salsa verde in a cake pan (reserve the rest for topping) and put a cutting board and the potato-kale filling nearby.
• Dip a tortilla in the hot oil until golden but still pliable. Using tongs, transfer it to the cake pan with the salsa verde and turn to coat. Place the dipped tortilla on the cutting board, stuff with a scant 1/4 cup of the potato-kale filling and roll up. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, salsa verde and filling.
• Transfer the stuffed tortillas to the prepared baking dish. Top with the reserved salsa verde and remaining 1/4 cup crema and 1/4 cup cheese. Bake until darkened in spots, about 30 minutes. Serve slightly cooled.

POTATO AND BEAN ENCHILADAS

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). In a bowl, toss diced potatoes together with cumin, chili powder, salt, and ketchup, and place in an oiled baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until tender.
• Meanwhile, boil tomatillos and chopped onion in water to cover for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool. Once cooled, puree with half of the cilantro until smooth.
• Fry tortillas individually in a small amount of hot oil until soft.
• Mix potatoes together with pinto beans, 1/2 cheese, and 1/2 cilantro. Fill tortillas with potato mixture, and roll up. Place seam side down in an oiled 9x13 inch baking dish.
