Pressure Cooker Enchiladas Verdes {Green Chile Enchiladas}

It’s actually pretty impressive. You plug it in, push one of the many pre-set options depending on what you’re making and walk away. I was moved from impressed to stunned with the “adjust as you please” button. After all, Enchiladas Verdes was not a pre-set option. The included mini cookbook however did include a lasagna recipe which suggested starting with the “soup” option and adjusting accordingly and worked like a charm with these enchiladas.

Another feature I really loved was that when the pre-set timer was done this thing actually turned itself into “Warm Mode”!  I’m sorry, you mean I don’t have to run down stairs and shut it off before it explodes?

Bonus.

TIME          30 MINUTES   (with home made tortillas)            SERVES          6

YOU WILL NEED

1 recipe for home made corn tortillas (If you have an extra 10 minutes I implore you to sub these for the cardboard flavored store bought variety!)

2 large zucchini, chopped

2 cups crimini mushrooms, chopped

1 poblano pepper roasted and chopped (or 1 small can roasted green chilies)

1- 28 oz can green chile enchilada sauce

3 cups colby jack cheese, shredded

1 large yellow onion

1 teaspoon cumin powder 

1/2 teaspoon salt

Garnish

sliced avocado
sliced green onion
cilantro, chopped
sour cream
beans

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER

Saute onion and mushroom in a cast iron skillet till browned. Remove from heat and set aside. Add chopped zucchini to skillet and sprinkle with cumin and salt. Cook 3-5 minutes until browned.  In the bottom of the inner pot from the pressure cooker, pour 1 cup enchilada sauce. Place 4 corn tortillas evenly on top of sauce. Spoon the onion mix and zucchini then cheese. Layer more tortillas, sauce and vegetables. Top with remaining tortillas, sauce and cheese.

Place lid on pressure cooker and turn to locked position. Push “Soup” button and add 5 minutes by pushing “adjust time” button. Remember to turn top steam release button to locked (as per included instructions recommend).

When the timer goes off either turn pressure dial to “release steam” or leave it alone and it will automatically switch to “keep warm” function until you are ready to eat.
