Instructions
Slice peppers, onion, and mushrooms thinly. (Take out the seeds from all the peppers.) Add them into a large mixing bowl.

Preheat a large cooking pan over medium heat and add a little bit of oil. Take the veggies out of the bowl but save most of the marinade for later.
Cook veggie, stirring often, until softened. Raise the heat to medium-high and add marinade to the veggies. Cook for 5-7 more minutes, stirring often, and take off heat.
Sauce:
Heat up a sauce pot over medium heat. Add salsa verde to the pot and bring it to simmer. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes and whisk in sour cream and heavy whipping cream. Let the mixture heat through and add grated cheese, salt, and chili powder. Stir until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth. Take off heat.
Grate Monterrey Jack cheese and set side.
Enchiladas:
Preheat the oven to 350.
Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish and spread a little bit of sauce over the bottom.
Spread some cheese along the center of the tortilla. Scoop some vegetable mixture (with a slotted spoon) over the cheese. Roll tortilla and place it in the baking dish, seam down. Repeat with remaining tortillas, vegetables, and most of the cheese. Leave some cheese for topping.
Pour remaining sauce all over enchiladas and sprinkle remaining Monterrey Jack cheese on top.
Bake for 17-20 minutes.
