Enchiladas with pepita sauce
The sauce is also based on a Rick Bayless recipe.
For the sauce:
Toast 1 cup pumpkin seeds. Set aside. In a food processor add 1/2 chopped onion, 3 garlic cloves, 2 chopped serrano peppers, 3 romaine leaves, 2 radish leaves, 12 sprigs of cilantro and the pumpkin seeds. Process. Add 1 1/2 cup chicken broth. Process. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan. Add mixture. Cook 10 minutes. Add 2 cups of chicken broth. Cover and simmer 20 minutes. Process again. (At this point I didn't like the texture. It felt like chewing on sunflower seed shells, so..) If you like the texture, the sauce is ready. If not, put through a sieve. Mix a couple of tbsp sauce and mix it with a tbsp of masa harina. Whisk back into sauce and simmer for another 5 minutes.
For the filling: Saute 1/2 onion, 4 garlic cloves (chopped), in 1 tbsp oil. Add 1 diced zucchini. Cook a couple of minutes. Add 1 tbsp cumin. Stir. Add a little water. Add 4 cups spinach and cook until wilted. Add a couple of cups of black beans.
Put a thin layer of sauce in the bottom of a pan. Roll filling into corn tortillas along with a little queso fresco. Cover with sauce and a little more queso fresco. Bake 15 minutes at 350. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
