Step 1
Toast guajillo chiles in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1 minute until fragrant, then soak in hot broth for 5 minutes.
Step 2
Blend soaked chiles with onion, 1/2 cup of the soaking broth, salt, and pepper until smooth; strain through a fine sieve.
Step 3
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering; working quickly, dip each tortilla in oil for 10 seconds per side until pliable but not crispy.
Step 4
Fill each tortilla with a handful of cheese, roll tightly, and place seam-side down on a plate.
Step 5
Pour chile sauce into the same skillet, then carefully slide in the rolled enchiladas and simmer for 3 minutes until sauce clings.
Step 6
In a separate skillet, sauté mushrooms in a pinch of salt over high heat until golden, about 4 minutes; serve alongside the hot enchiladas.
