Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and oil a 13×7 or 13×9-inch baking pan.
Roasted Red Pepper Sauce:
-
In a food processor or high-powered blender, combine all of the sauce ingredients. Blend until smooth.
Filling:
-
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and chopped onion.
-
Sauté for a few minutes, until the onion starts to turn translucent and starts lightly browning around the edges.
-
Add the frozen spinach and corn and cook until warmed through and the juices have mostly evaporated. Add the black beans and green chiles and cook until warmed through.
-
Remove from heat and pour in ½ cup of enchilada sauce and feta cheese. Mix and add salt and pepper to taste.
Remaining Ingredients:
-
Gently warm the tortillas so they don’t break when you roll them.
-
Place them in a stack in the microwave under a damp paper towel and microwave for about 60 seconds. Leave the paper towel on top to keep them warm as you roll.
-
Working one at a time, lump a scant ½ cup filling down the middle of each tortilla and roll snugly. Place it with the seam side down in your baking dish.
-
Repeat with the remaining tortillas, placing each rolled enchilada snugly next to the other until you have used up all your tortillas.
-
Pour the enchilada sauce down the middle of your row of enchiladas and give the pan some little shakes to help distribute it. Sprinkle the Jack cheese down the middle.
-
Bake the enchiladas for 20 to 25 minutes, until the cheese is melted, the enchiladas are warmed through and the top of the tortillas are just crisp.
-
Let the enchiladas cool for five minutes, during which you can pit, peel and dice the avocados. Combine them in a bowl with chopped cilantro and toss with a big squeeze of lime juice.
-
Divide the enchiladas onto plates, top with a healthy amount of the avocado mix and serve.
