So good! I made many modifications. Used twice as many mushrooms, including shiitake, brown and white varieties; Used baby kale instead of spinach because I have a bunch of kale I wanted to use up; A little extra chili powder and cumin; omitted the cream cheese as that would have been a deal breaker for my kids; added jack cheese to inside; added Serrano peppers to inside and outside of enchiladas for adults (omitted for kids) and made fresh tomatillo sauce. Probably the sauce was that best part. Sauce: 1 lb fresh tomatillos quartered, 1 1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth, 2 tbl chopped sweet onion, 1 clove garlic in a pot to boil lightly for about 15 minutes or until soft. Puree ingredients when cooled slightly. Cook a bit longer to thicken and then add 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1 tsp. fresh lime juice, salt and pepper to taste.
