Eggplant Enchiladas image

A great way to use up some excess eggplant from the garden or CSA box. I came up with this recipe as part of my quest to find eggplant dishes my husband likes. This one was a winner.

Time 1h

Yield 2 dozen, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 medium eggplant
3 -4 medium potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon minced onion
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
24 corn tortillas
enchilada sauce
cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Note: I made up this recipe on the fly, so all measurements are guesstimates only. I work by the season, taste, season some more method, so adjust the spices to your liking. Also, I made my own enchilada sauce with stuff I had on-hand, but a large can (24 oz) is about the amount you'll need.
  • Cut the eggplant and potatoes into rounds about 1/4-1/2 inch thick.
  • Dice into small cubes. (I have an onion chopper that does this for me very quickly -- ).
  • In a large skillet, saute the eggplant and potatoes for 5-10 minutes, adding seasonings and adjusting as desired. Don't cook so long that the eggplant gets mushy-the potatoes will still be crunchy.
  • Slice enough cheddar to put one or two pieces in each tortilla.
  • Put a layer of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9" x 13" dish.
  • Soften the tortillas by heating them in a skillet or the microwave so that they will roll without breaking.
  • Fill each tortilla with a slice of cheese and a spoonful of the potato/eggplant mixture. Roll and place in the dish.
  • Repeat until you have two 9" x 13" dishes each filled with 12 enchiladas.
  • Cover the enchiladas with the remaining sauce, getting it between the tortillas.
  • Top with grated cheddar.
  • Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.
