  4. Add mint leaves, oregano, black pepper, and salt into the blended tomoatoes.

  6. Then cook for another 20 minutes.
  7. Add more salt or black pepper to taste.
Directions to prepare Enchiladas:
  1. Slice mushrooms.
  2. Stir-fry mushrooms with oil for 2 minutes, and then add spinach and cook for another 2 minutes.
  3. Mix cheese into the mushrooms and spinach.
  4. Heat up the tortilla and roll up the tortilla with the mushroom and spinach ingredients.
  5. Add rolls of tortilla to the pan until the first layer is filled on the pan. 
  6. Before adding another layer of tortilla, add cheese and some salsa on top of the enchiladas and then start layering the second layer of enchiladas.
