Ingredients
Method
- Heat oven to 400°F and arrange a rack in the middle.
For the Sauce:
- Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender and just starting to brown, about 3 minutes.
- Add tomatoes and chipotles and lower heat to medium. Cover and cook until tomatoes start breaking down, about 3 minutes more.
- Uncover, add cream and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then blend until smooth. Taste for salt adding more if needed. Transfer to a shallow dish.
For the Enchiladas:
- Combine root vegetables (it's okay if they're still frozen), garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
- Warm tortillas on a comal or hot, dry nonstick skillet (a cast iron one works great). Cook them on both sides until warmed through. Keep warm in a tortilla warmer or wrapped in a clean kitchen towel.
- Grease a large 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
- Dip 1 tortilla in chipotle sauce, covering it completely, then lay on a large plate or baking sheet. Pile about 1/4 cup of filling on one end, then roll the tortilla up and place seam-side-down on the baking sheet. Repeat until all filling has been used.
- Spoon remaining sauce over the enchiladas and place in the oven. Bake 30 minutes or until browned on the edges and bubbly
- Remove from oven, garnish with avocado, scallion greens, grated Cotija and edible marigolds if you'd like.
