Tequila Spinach & Mushroom Enchiladas

I’m ashamed to admit that before today I had never made enchiladas myself, I always had my mom or my husband do it for me. But today I felt like trying something new, so I prepared some Spinach & Mushroom Enchiladas with a little splash of Tequila for lunch. It’s a very simple and flavorful dish.

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups of Spinach (chopped)
2 cups of Mushrooms (coarsely chopped)
2-3 cups of Monterrey Jack chesse
1 (28oz) can of Las Palamas Green Chile Enchilada Sauce.
4 tablespoons of butter
1/4 onion (chopped finely)
1 garlic clove (minced)
1/3 cup of Tequila (optional) (I used Patron Silver, because it has a smooth taste)
4-6 White corn tortillas
Olive oil
Black pepper

Preheat oven to 375

1) In a small sauce pan sautée the onion & garlic with the butter and added a little black pepper (to taste) for a minute over medium heat. 2) add mushroom cook until mushrooms a well cooked, then set aside. 3) in a small pan add a 2-3 teaspoons of olive oil & 1/3 cup of tequila stir in spinach, cook for about 5 minutes over medium heat. Once the spinach is well cooked add the sautéed mushrooms, let it cool then add the Monterrey Jack cheese mix well.

sautéed onions & garlic

Then heat a little olive oil in a large pan to lightly cook tortillas. (I like to dab the tortillas with a napkin once I take them out of the oil, so it wouldn’t be oily). Cup a tortilla in your had like if you were making a taco add the mixture of Spinach, Mushroom & Cheese, then fold in the side/seams (like a wrap) and place them with the seams facing down. Pour the enchilada sauce on top and sprinkle with cheese, bake for 15-20 minutes. Serve with Crema Mexicana or sour cream. (I sautéed the l mushrooms I had leftover and topped my enchiladas with it. Enjoy!

Malibu Rum chicken & Strawberry salad

Tonight I made a Malibu rum chicken on a bed of strawberry salad topped with almonds & a raspberry vinaigrette. The salad alone looked so delicious I didn’t want to cook the chicken, but I’m glad I did. The combination of the Malibu & strawberries with the chicken was fantastic! I love it!! Try it at home and let me know what you think.

Here’s the salad alone:

All I did to make the chicken is add 2 cups of Malibu, about 1/2 – 1 cup of lemon juice, some black pepper, parsley and a little rosemary. I let it sit over night in the fridge, then I cook it with a little olive oil in a pan. It was so easy & fast to make.

Here a picture of the bottle:

Enjoy 😉

Tequila chicken Alfredo

Yesterday I decided I wanted to have chicken & broccoli Alfredo for dinner. I started getting everything ready when the drunk in me a light bulb went on and I decided to use the tequila that was sitting on the counter. 🙂

It was delicious!! I looked around the kitchen and found a bottle of Malibu “mango” flavor. Can you guess what’s on the menu tonight?
