Preparation
1. To make Chipotle Salsa: Heat oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; sauté 5 to 7 minutes, or until translucent. Add garlic; sauté 2 minutes. Add oregano, chipotle chile powder, sugar, and pepper; sauté 2 minutes more. Stir in tomatoes and 3/4 cup water; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer 20 minutes. Remove from heat, and purée until smooth in blender or food processor.
2. To make Salsa Cruda: Combine all ingredients in large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Set aside.
3. To make Enchiladas: Bring quinoa and 1 1/3 cups water to a boil in saucepan. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed.
4. Steam spinach in large skillet 3 to 4 minutes, or until wilted but still bright green. Drain excess liquid; keep warm.
5. Bring Chipotle Salsa to a simmer in skillet over medium-low heat. Dip tortillas, one at time, into Chipotle Salsa, turning to coat. Leave in skillet 3 minutes to soak. Cool slightly.
6. Set 1 tortilla on work surface; fill with 1/4 cup each quinoa and spinach; roll up. Repeat with remaining tortillas, quinoa, and spinach. To serve, place 2 Enchiladas on each plate; top with 1/4 cup Chipotle Salsa and 1/4 cup Salsa Cruda.
