Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 16 ounces mushrooms
  • 810 corn tortillas
  • 1 ½ cups red enchilada sauce

Supporting Ingredients:

  • 1 medium onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • ½ cup mascarpone cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheese

Seasonings and Finishing Touches:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon dried tarragon
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté 1 finely chopped onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 3 minced garlic cloves to the skillet. Stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add 16 ounces sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms brown and release moisture, 7-10 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon dried tarragon over mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Remove skillet from heat. Stir in ½ cup mascarpone cheese until mixture is evenly coated.
  6. Warm 8-10 corn tortillas by wrapping in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30 seconds or toasting in a dry skillet for 20-30 seconds per side.
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F. Spread ½ cup red enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  8. Fill each tortilla with mushroom mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  9. Pour remaining 1 cup enchilada sauce over rolled tortillas. Ensure complete coverage.
  10. Sprinkle ½ cup shredded cheese on top of enchiladas.
  11. Bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese melts and sauce bubbles. Optional: Broil for 2-3 minutes for a crispy top.
  12. Let enchiladas rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • Substitute mushrooms with tofu or jackfruit for a vegan version that maintains the rich, savory profile of the original recipe.
  • Swap mascarpone for cream cheese or Greek yogurt if you want a slightly tangier filling that still provides creamy texture.
  • Warm tortillas carefully to prevent cracking, using either a damp paper towel in the microwave or a quick dry skillet toast for maximum flexibility.
  • Select fresh, firm mushrooms like cremini or shiitake for the most robust flavor and best texture in your enchilada filling.
