Veggie enchiladas

I combined two recipes and had this for lunch today. I enjoyed it!
Enchilada sauce
1 can diced tomatoes, chopped and pureed if desired
1 t. cumin
1 t. salt
1/4 t. oregano
2 t. chili powder
1 clove of garlic, minced
2 T. minced onion

1. Combine all sauce ingredients and simmer in a pan for 20-30 minutes.

Filling:
1/4-1/2 lb. spinach, fresh or frozen
1 carrot, peeled and grated
1/2 onion, diced

1. Heat a small pan over medium heat and add about 1 T. oil. Sautee spinach, carrot, and onion for a few minutes until softened.

Tortillas:
corn tortillas
oil

1. Place a few tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium heat, enough to cover the bottom.
2. Dip the tortillas on each side in the oil for just a few seconds.

Assembly:
1. After dipping the tortillas, top with a spoonful of the veggie mixture and the sauce and a bit of shredded cheese, if desired.
2. Roll up and place in a pan sprayed with oil.
3. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
4. top the tortillas with a little bit of sauce and cheese.

Bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes or until hot.
Top with shredded lettuce, cilantro, lime juice, and sour cream.
