This is the kind of recipe that makes my Texpuritan instincts cringe
up, but it sounds pretty good.
>From Stephan Pyle (Star Canyon in Dallas), published in the February
'96 Texas Monthly (as a sidebar to a nice article on the spread of
Southwestern ... ahem ... Texas kyoozeen: (Stephan Pyle's _New Texas
Cuisine_, Doubleday)
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. To prepare ancho paste, wash, dry,
stem, and seed chiles. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet and
roast for 1 minute. Put in a bowl and cover with warm water for 30
min. to rehydrate. Strain (reserve liquid) and puree' in a blender
with enough of the liquid to form a thick paste.
In a skillet, bring 5 tbsp ancho paste, cream, and garlic to a boil
and simmer for 2 min. Transfer to a blender and puree'. Add lime
juice and salt to taste. Strain and set aside.
Heat butter in a large skillet and saute' onion and mushrooms for 2
minutes over medium heat, until onion is translucent and mushrooms
are soft. Add avocado, cheese, cilantro, and tomato, and just heat
through. Add 2 tbsp of reserved ancho cream puree' and stir gently.
Add salt to taste and simmer 3 min.
Heat remaining reserved ancho cream puree' in a skillet until
simmering. Soak tortillas one at a time in puree' for 15 sec. to
soften and use tongs to place on a baking sheet. Spread mushroom
mixture evenly down the middle of tortillas. Roll up tortillas, and
using a metal spatula, place on plates, seam side down. To reheat,
cover baking sheet with foil and place in a 350 degree oven for 10
min. Please note the recent questions answered by this recipe:
1. Rehydrate chiles in WARM water, not hot, cold, or vodka.
2. Warm tortillas in sauce, not oil.
3. Place tortillas seam side down.
