Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. To prepare ancho paste, wash, dry, stem, and seed chiles. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 1 minute. Put in a bowl and cover with warm water for 30 min. to rehydrate. Strain (reserve liquid) and puree in a blender with enough of the liquid to form a thick paste.

In a skillet, bring 5 tbsp ancho paste, cream, and garlic to a boil and simmer for 2 min. Transfer to a blender and puree. Add lime juice and salt to taste. Strain and set aside.

Heat butter in a large skillet and saute onion and mushrooms for 2 minutes over medium heat, until onion is translucent and mushrooms are soft. Add avocado, cheese, cilantro, and tomato, and just heat through. Add 2 tbsp of reserved ancho cream puree and stir gently.

Add salt to taste and simmer 3 min.

Heat remaining reserved ancho cream puree in a skillet until simmering. Soak tortillas one at a time in puree for 15 sec. to soften and use tongs to place on a baking sheet.
