Instructions

Sauce

  1. 1

    Set oven broiler to high. Arrange tomatillos (cut-side up), scotch bonnet, onion, and unpeeled garlic on a foil-lined baking sheet. Broil for 8–10 minutes until tomatillos are blistered and lightly charred. Let cool slightly, then peel the garlic.

  2. 2

    Transfer charred veg to a blender. Add lime juice, cilantro, cumin, and water or stock. Blend until smooth. Season with salt. Thin with more water if needed — it should coat the back of a spoon but pour easily. Set aside.

Filling

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C).

  2. 2

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onion and cook for 3 minutes until softened.

  3. 3

    Add garlic and mushrooms. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are golden and any liquid has evaporated.

  4. 4

    Add cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Stir and cook 1 minute. Add black beans, lime juice, and cilantro. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.

Assembly

  1. 1

    Spread a thin layer of tomatillo sauce across the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.

  2. 2

    Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds, or warm briefly in a dry skillet. They need to be pliable to roll without cracking.

  3. 3

    Fill each tortilla with about ½ cup of the black bean and mushroom mixture. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat for all 6.

  4. 4

    Pour remaining tomatillo sauce evenly over the enchiladas. Top with shredded cheese. Bake for 20 minutes until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling.

To Serve

  1. 1

    Let sit 5 minutes. Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a crumble of cotija, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges.
