Sorry if this just looks like a big blob of cheese and sauce and… wait, why is that bad? Melty cheesy goodness with rich homemade ancho chili enchilada sauce smothered all over your favorite corn tortillas that just happened to be stuffed all nice and full with buttery mushrooms and spinach? I can’t really see the bad in this at all!
MY LATEST VIDEOSAnd I do also apologize if I’ve been on a sort of Tex-Mex, Southwestern style food kick lately. I tend to cook what I crave and share what I cook, so there you go! Not seeing too many down sides here!
I mean, mushroom sautéed in butter? Stuffed into enchiladas? Need I say more?
Time to slow cook your way to cheesy enchilada goodness!
- 5 tablespoons butter divided
- 1 pound baby bella mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon dried cilantro
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 oz baby spinach
- 1 cup whipped cream cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
- 1 1/2 cups enchilada sauce
- 12 corn tortillas warmed slightly
- 1 cup shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
- sour cream and fresh cilantro to garnish optional
- Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium high heat
- Add mushrooms and sauté for 3-6 minutes until mushrooms are tender and slightly browned
- Stir in garlic powder, cumin, cilantro and salt until mushrooms are evenly coated
- Stir in spinach until wilted
- Remove from heat and stir in cream cheese and goat cheese
- Spray slow cooker with nonstick spray
- In bottom of slow cooker add 1/4 - 1/2 cup sauce and spread it evenly
- Add about 1/4 cup of filling in each tortilla and roll
- Place seam side down in slow cooker and repeat until all of tortillas/filling is used
- Cover with remaining sauce and cheese
- Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-6.
- Serve enchiladas with sour cream and cilantro, or as desired
This recipe is perfect for the Slow Cooker Casserole Slow Cooker but will also work in a regular (4 qt or larger) slow cooker. You may have to layer the enchiladas or you could just lay out the tortillas on the bottom and top more like a casserole.

March 7, 2017 at 9:03 pmSuze, sorry to hear you are frustrated. I don’t have any pop-ups and haven’t had wide spread issues so I’m not sure what the problem you were experiencing might have been. If you’d be so kind as to tell me if you were using mobile or desktop, etc. I’d love to trouble shoot it. Never my goal for readers to have a negative experience.
Hope you’ll reconsider.

June 19, 2017 at 9:56 amI experience the same, just to answer your question. It is a bit maddening, i want your recipes though so i grumble through it. It happens on ipad, android and desktop.

June 19, 2017 at 4:20 pmI’m sorry you are having this issue! I’ve checked with my ad company, and have had several people test for me, and I’m not able to replicate the issue. There should not be any pop up ads and I’d love to get this fixed so you are not frustrated. If you ever get the chance and wouldn’t mind, I’d love for you to send me a screen shot so that I can track down just exactly what is going wrong. Thanks so much for letting me know!!

March 7, 2017 at 11:59 amAre you using mini tortillas or something? Because I only could fit seven in my crockpot casserole because using the amount of filling that It yielded isn’t even close to enough to make 10 or 12. I’m sure it will taste great and next time I will double the filling add some cooked sausage or something but I’m not understanding why these are hardly filled at all with a quarter cup in each one like it says
Jennifer says
March 7, 2017 at 8:56 pmHi Nicole! The only corn tortillas I ever find are only about 6 inches or so? So pretty small.. what kind of tortillas did you use? I do think they would be delicious with sausage, or you could just double the rest of the filling.

August 14, 2016 at 9:39 pmWhat can you use instead of goat cheese?
Jennifer says
August 15, 2016 at 8:15 amHi Brie! You could just leave it out.

April 7, 2016 at 8:56 amWhat is the 5th tbsp of butter for?
Jennifer says
April 9, 2016 at 2:00 pmhmmm, good question! I’m pretty sure I actually meant for that other tbsp to be if needed after sautéing the mushrooms. I will go back and fix that.
