Spring Enchiladas Recipe
Report
Bursting with the vibrant flavors of the season, these spring enchiladas are a fun twist on a traditional recipe. They're packed with fresh spring vegetables such as asparagus, zucchini, radishes, and swiss chard. Then they're wrapped up, covered in a flavorful yogurt sauce, and baked until bubbly. It's a different spin on enchiladas, but so darn good!

Ingredients
The Sauce
- 1 cup roughly chopped cilantro stems and leaves
- 3 green onions green part only
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 Jalapeño seeds and stems removed
- juice from 1 lime
- 2 ½ cups thick plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
The Spring Veggie Enchiladas
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 medium white onion diced
- 1 medium zucchini diced
- 1 bunch radishes diced - reserve a few for garnish
- 4 large stems of Swiss chard stems removed and leaves chopped
- A generous pinch of salt and pepper
- 2 bunches of asparagus about 40 pieces, tough ends snapped off
- 2 cooked chicken breasts, diced or 1 package of firm tofu, diced
- 2 cups grated mozzarella divided
- 8 inch flour tortillas
- Cilantro and lime to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Start by making the sauce. Place the cilantro, green onions, garlic, jalapeño, and lime in a food processor and pulse until chopped. Add the yogurt and salt and blend.
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until transparent, about 2-3 minutes. Add the zucchini and radishes and cook for about 5 minutes, or until just soft. Stir in the swiss chard and let the leaves wilt. Season with salt and pepper and remove them from the pan and put them into a large bowl.
- Place the asparagus in the frying pan and cook for about 5 minutes, or until it softens slightly. You still want it quite crispy.
- Add the chicken or tofu to the bowl with the veggies and add ½ cup of the mozzarella and a generous ½ cup of the yogurt sauce. Mix to combine.
- Put a scoop of the yogurt sauce in the bottom of an ovenproof dish. Lay 8 tortillas on your counter. Divide the filling between them and top each with a few pieces of asparagus, letting the asparagus tips hang out a little. Roll the enchiladas tightly and place seam down in the baking dish. Cover with the remaining sauce and mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the sauce is bubbling at the edges of the dish. Garnish with extra radishes, cilantro, and lime.
