Beef, Mushrooms and Spinach Enchiladas
I am very proud of this recipe. The enchiladas were absolutely delicious. They are great for through the week as they don’t take very long to make but they are also great for entertaining. You can eliminate the beef and keep them vegetarian or add shrimp instead- either way, they are the best enchiladas you will every eat!!

Heat a large frying pan with the olive oil. Add the garlic and shallots and sauté on medium heat.
