The Recipe

  • Prep enchilada sauce: Preheat oven to 425°F. Remove any papery husks from tomatillos, then wash and chop. Finely chop 1 tortilla and place in a heatproof bowl. Add 3 tablespoons boiling water to chopped tortilla and stir. Cover and let stand until absorbed, about 5 minutes. Wrap remaining tortillas in foil.

  • Make sauce: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small saucepan over medium. Add tomatillos and cook until beginning to break down, about 5 minutes. Add 1 cup water and vegetable broth concentrate; bring to a boil. Cook until slightly reduced, 5–7 minutes. Stir in chopped tortillas and simmer, mashing, until thickened, about 4 minutes. Season with 1⁄4 teaspoon salt.

  • Make filling: Heat wrapped tortillas in oven until warm and pliable, about 5 minutes. In a large bowl, lightly mash beans with a spoon. Stir in spinach and half each cheese and scallions.
