Enchiladas are one of my husband’s top requested recipes but usually our recipes include chicken or another type of meat. For this Meatless Monday I wanted to create a version of my enchiladas that were filled with sauteed hearty veggies with big flavors and made you forget that it’s meat free! I think I hit the jackpot with these Mushroom Spinach Enchiladas! Give them a try this Meatless Monday and I bet you’ll forget you’re eating vegetarian!
Ingredients:
Makes 4 servings (8 enchiladas)
- 12 oz. baby spinach, chopped
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, pressed
- 8oz cream cheese spread, softened
- 3 cups Mexican blend cheese, shredded
- 8 small/med (taco size) flour tortillas
- salt and pepper, to taste
- olive oil, for sauté
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium.
- Sauté onions, mushrooms, and garlic until tender.
- Stir in cream cheese until smooth. Add salt and pepper.
- Stir in chopped spinach and mix until wilted.
- Using taco size flour tortillas spoon filling into the middle of each enchilada.
- Add a sprinkling (about 2 tbsp) of Mexican blend cheese into the center of the enchilada.
- Roll up enchiladas and place seam side down in a 9X13 baking dish.
- Sprinkle top of enchiladas with remaining cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes until bubbly and the cheese is nice and golden.
- Serve with a side of rice and any extra filling in the pan drizzled on top.

Cut into servings (I do 2 per person) and serving with any filling that has fallen into the side drizzled on top. I like to serve with Mexican rice or spicy black beans.
Lots of gooey cheese mixed with meaty mushrooms, onions, and spinach make
this Meatless Monday meal a crowd pleaser!
