From the Test Kitchen

These vegetarian enchiladas are stuffed with a hearty filling of earthy mushrooms, tender sautéed kale, and rice cooked with a blend of smoky spices like paprika, ancho chile powder, and more. They’re baked under layers of savory tomato sauce and melty cheddar cheese, then served with a side of cooling sour cream.

While the rice cooks, wash and dry the fresh produce. Thinly slice the mushrooms. Separate the kale leaves from the stems; discard the stems, then roughly chop the leaves.
