Week #19 Cinco de Mayo celebration!

To celebrate Cinco De Mayo, The Mexican Holiday on May 5th, I decided to dedicate this dish to Mexico.
Kale, brussels sprots, red cabbage, brocolli , minced fake meat make for this delicious enchilada with some spicy salsa and cheese on top. You can substitute any minced meat like chicken or beef or even cooked shrimp. Many Mexican retsuarants serve food that are too beany or too cheesy. Real Mexican food is actually quite light. They even eat interesting food like cactus root, tamarind, etc.

Ingredients :
Any type of greens cut up(spinach, broccolli)
Onions- 1/2 cup
Garlic- 1 Tablespoon minced
Oregano- 2 tablespoons
MInced meat or soy crumbles- 1/2 cup
Tortillas - 2
Salsa or spicy tomato sauce made fresh- 1 cup
cheese grated- 1/2 cup
Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
Jalapeno chillies and cilantro to taste

Method:
Preheat oven to broil.Pour oil in a saute pan and add minced meat or soy crumbles. In 2 minutes, once it has browned add onion and garlic. Saute for 2-3 minutes till onion is transparent and is starting to brown. . Add green veggies and oregano and saute on high heat for abt 2 minutes. The green veggies should wilt, but stll be slightly crunchy. Switch off the heat.Take an oven safe dish and place tortillas. Add the greens and meat mixture to it. Roll it up, so the opening is on the bottom. Add the salsa on top of the tortilla rolls and sprinkle cheese. Place the tortillas under broiler until cheese is melted and is starting to brown. Take the enchiladas out and sprinkle cilantro and jalapeno to serve.Enjoy
