SAZON



Sazon image

This is a copycat version of sazon, which I always use in Puerto Rican dishes. Other versions of this recipe call for only paprika or turmeric. I find adding both achieves the reddish-orange color without affecting flavor. The salt in this recipe can be reduced or omitted as many dishes call for additional salt. I prefer to omit and just add salt as needed to dishes while I'm cooking. I hope you will enjoy it!

SARAH'S CREAMY VEGGIE ENCHILADAS



Sarah's Creamy Veggie Enchiladas image

These enchiladas are full of fresh vegetables and my ace in the hole - cotija cheese. Sour cream makes a nice saucy filling. My vegetarian husband gives these 5 stars; I hope you like them, too! These go great with a side of black or pinto beans and a salad with chopped tomato and avocado. Enjoy!

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 green bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced into 1/2-inch slices
1 serrano chile, minced
1 ear fresh corn kernels
½ pound fresh spinach, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup sour cream
¾ cup diced cotija cheese, divided
¼ cup chopped cilantro
15 corn tortillas
1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper; cook until edges are golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Add zucchini, serrano chile, and corn kernels. Cook until slightly browned, about 5 minutes more.
  • Add spinach, garlic, paprika, salt, and cumin. Cook for 1 minute stirring constantly. Add sour cream, 1/2 cup cotija, and sour cream. Stir to combine. Remove vegetable mixture from heat and set aside.
  • Pour a thin layer of enchilada sauce into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Heat a small skillet over medium heat and warm tortillas 1 at a time until softened, about 10 seconds each. Transfer warm tortillas to a plate and keep warm under a towel.
  • Spoon 1/3 cup vegetable mixture into 1 tortilla. Fold sides in like a taco and place, seam-side down, into the enchilada sauce in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and vegetable mixture.
  • Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the enchiladas in the baking dish. Sprinkle remaining cotija cheese on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until slightly bubbly and golden at the edges, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool at least 10 minutes before serving.
