Ingredients

Creamy Verde Sauce

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
½ large onion, chopped
2 tablespoon flour
1 cup broth, chicken or vegetable
¾ cup salsa verde, store-bought, plus more for serving, if desired
½ cup light sour cream, plus more for serving, if desired
kosher salt + fresh cracked black pepper

Enchilada Skillet

2 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound mushrooms, any variety, sliced
½ large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
3 cups cooked wild rice, or brown rice
¼ cup cilantro, chopped, plus more for garnish
3 to 4 whole wheat flour tortillas, torn into pieces
8 ounce monterey jack cheese, shredded from the block

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Prepare the creamy salsa verde: melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion (half of a large) and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour in the broth and continue stirring until smooth and it begins to thicken, another 3 minutes or so. Stir in the salsa verde. Take it off the heat and stir in the sour cream. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
n a large oven-proof skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and chopped onion (the remaining half of a large). Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their water and are soft and creamy. Add the chopped garlic and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the prepared rice and cilantro. Stir in the creamy salsa verde and torn tortillas. Mix well to distribute evenly. Turn off the heat.
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top and bake for 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
