Provided by Joel

Number Of Ingredients 14

7 small red potato's (cut into small 1/4 inch pieces) ($1.68)
2 medium sized jalapeno's (diced) ($0.72)
1 medium yellow onion (diced) ($0.48)
2 cloves garlic (minced) ($0.20)
2 c. spinach (loosely packed) ($2.56)
1/2 c. fresh cilantro (diced) ($0.16)
4 stalks green onions (diced) ($0.16)
1.5 c. shredded cheddar cheese ($2.16)
8 medium flour tortilla's ($2.28)
2 c. red enchilada sauce (recipe) ($2.15)
1 tbs chili powder ($0.18)
1 tbs cumin ($0.24)
1 tsp onion powder ($0.36)
1 tsp garlic powder ($0.30)

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.

KALE-POTATO ENCHILADAS VERDES



Kale-Potato Enchiladas Verdes image

Provided by Marcela Valladolid

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 10 enchiladas

Number Of Ingredients 18

Salt
2 pounds husked and rinsed tomatillos
2 cloves garlic
1 large bunch fresh cilantro, thick stems removed
1 large jalapeno (optionally seeded)
1/4 large white onion
2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 large onion, chopped
2 cups loosely packed chopped kale (thick stems removed)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup Mexican crema
1 1/4 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the baking dish
Vegetable oil, for frying the tortillas
10 tortillas

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.
