Directions:
Heat frying pan and add oil. Add onions, mushrooms, garlic and green chilis and sautee for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently to keep garlic from burning. Add spinach and chili powder and stir mixture until spinach begins to wilt. Turn off heat

Pour 1 cup of enchilada sauce over the mixture and top with about 1 cup of cheese. Add 1 layer tortillas shells and top with 1/2 cup cheese and then add one more layer of tortilla shells and top with another cup enchilada sauce and the remaining cheese.
Top with cilantro.
Bake in over 20 minutes or until the pie if a golden brown.
