VEGAN ENCHILADAS (BEST EVER!)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Start the Enchilada Sauce (or for quicker prep, make it the night before).
• Remove the stems from the mushroom caps and thinly slice them. Thinly slice the red onion. Thinly slice the bell pepper.
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Saute the veggies for 6 to 7 minutes until tender. Add the black beans (drained and rinsed), garlic powder, cumin, onion powder, paprika, kosher salt, lime juice and vegetable broth or water. Cook for 2 minutes until the liquid is thickened into a sauce.
• Spread 1 cup of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of a large baking dish.
• If using corn tortillas ONLY: Brush both sides of each tortilla lightly with olive oil. Heat a large griddle to medium-high heat. Cook the tortillas in batches for 15 seconds per side until lightly browned.
• Fill each tortilla with 1/4 cup of the vegetable filling and about 2 tablespoons guacamole, running in a line down the center (see the photo). Roll it up and place it in the baking dish seam side down. Once all of the 12 tortillas are in the dish, pour over the remaining 2 cups of enchilada sauce.
• Bake for 5 minutes until warmed through. Top with garnishes and serve. (Leftovers keep well refrigerated.)

Steps:

• Make the enchilada sauce.
• Make the cashew cheese sauce. Soak the cashews in water for 2 hours to soften them. Drain the cashews and add to your blender with the remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking sheet with baking paper. Add the sweet potato that has been cut into 1.5 cm pieces and drizzle with olive oil. Add the paprika, cumin, salt and pepper and toss until the sweet potatoes are covered. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and add the corn kernels and toss to combine before placing back into the oven for a further 5 minutes.
• In a bowl combine the roasted sweet potatoes and corn with the remaining filling ingredients and mix together.
• In a casserole dish spread out ½ cup of enchilada sauce. Place spoonfuls of the filling into the centre of a tortilla and tightly roll up and place seal side down in the prepared dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
• Pour the remaining 1 cup of enchilada sauce over the top, followed by the cashew cheese sauce. Place in the oven to bake for 30 minutes or until the edges of the tortillas are golden brown.
• Serve immediately topped with avocado and lime wedges.

VEGGIE BLACK BEAN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit with one rack in the middle of the oven and one in the upper third. Lightly grease a 9 by 13-inch pan with olive oil or cooking spray.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil until simmering. Add the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until the onions are tender and translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the broccoli and bell pepper, stir, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet (I don't have a lid for mine, so I just placed a cookie sheet on top). Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8 to 9 minutes, or until the broccoli is brighter green and just starting to turn golden on the edges.
• Add the cumin and cinnamon to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the spinach, a few handfuls at a time, stirring until it has reduced in size. Repeat with remaining spinach and cook until all of the spinach has wilted.
• Transfer the contents of the pan to a medium mixing bowl. Add the drained beans, 1/4 cup cheese and a drizzle of enchilada sauce (about 2 tablespoons). Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and some freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
• Assemble the enchiladas: Pour 1/4 cup enchilada sauce into your prepared pan and tilt it from side to side until the bottom of the pan is evenly coated. To assemble your first enchilada, spread ½ cup filling mixture down the middle of a tortilla, then snugly wrap the left side over and then the right, to make a wrap. Place it seam side down against the edge of your pan. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
• Drizzle the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas, leaving the tips of the enchiladas bare. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese evenly over the enchiladas.
• Bake, uncovered, on the middle rack for 20 minutes. If the cheese on top isn't golden enough for your liking, carefully transfer the enchiladas to the upper rack of the oven and bake for an additional 3 to 6 minutes, until sufficiently golden and bubbly.
• Remove from oven and let the enchiladas rest for 10 minutes (they're super hot!). Before serving, sprinkle chopped cilantro down the center of the enchiladas. Serve immediately.

• Trim, finely slice and add the spring onions, reserving a small handful to one side. Deseed, finely slice and add the chilli. Pick and add most of the coriander leaves, reserving the stalks.
• Squeeze in the lime juice and season well with sea salt and black pepper.
• Wipe the frying pan clean with kitchen paper, then return to a medium heat with 1 tablespoon of oil.
• Peel and finely slice the garlic and finely slice the coriander stalks, then add to the pan for 1 minute.
• Stir in the tomatoes and ½ a tin's worth of hot water, breaking up the tomatoes with the back of a wooden spoon. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until thickened and reduced.
• Season to taste, carefully transfer to a liquidiser and blitz until smooth.
• Divide the vegetable mixture between 8 corn tortillas and roll them up. Line them up in a snug-fitting baking dish (roughly 20cm x 30cm), with the scruffy ends tucked underneath.
• Pour over the tomato sauce, coarsely grate the Cheddar on top and crumble over the feta.
• Drizzle with a little oil, then pop in the hot oven for 25 minutes, or until bubbling and golden.
• Serve scattered with the reserved corn, spring onion and coriander leaves. Delicious with a crisp green salad.

VEGAN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine frozen bell peppers and frozen corn in a non-stick skillet and saute (with no oil) on medium heat. Add a healthy serving of taco seasoning and salt to taste. Cook for 10-15 minutes until the peppers are heated through.
• Heat the 2 cans tomato sauce, diced tomatoes with chiles, cumin, oregano and garlic powder in a large pot. Add a dash of cayenne if you like things spicy. Once heated through, blend with an immersion blender, and add broth until the sauce is the consistency you like. (For a thinner sauce, add more broth).
• Heat up refried black beans over medium heat and add taco seasoning to taste. Warm corn tortillas in the microwave (wrap in a paper towel, heat for 40-60 seconds until warmed through).
• Now it's time for assembly! In a large casserole dish, begin creating the enchiladas: Take a corn tortilla, spread refried black beans down the middle (about 3-4 Tbsp), top with veggie mixture, top with 1-2 Tbsp vegan cheese (if using), roll.
• Once all the enchiladas are rolled up in the dish, top with the enchilada sauce and the remaining vegan cheese (if using).
• Bake, covered with foil at 350 degrees for 10-12 min. Remove foil, heat for another 7-9 min (if using vegan cheese, bake until vegan cheese is melted and bubbly).

EASY VEGAN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat
• While the oil is heating, prepare the tempeh mixture. If you have a food processor, rip the block of tempeh into smaller chunks and place it in your food processor. Pulse the tempeh until it is the size of ground beef. If you don't have a food processor, just cut or crumble the tempeh into small pieces.
• Once the oil is hot, add in the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
• Add in the minced garlic and tempeh and cook until the tempeh starts to brown.
• Add in the drain and rinsed black beans as well as the spices and stir to combine. Lastly pour over the soy sauce and liquid smoke and stir again to make sure all the tempeh and black beans have been well seasoned.
• Taste the mixture and add more salt or spices to taste.
• Preheat your oven to 350°F / 177°C and start assembling the enchiladas. Pour about 1/2-1 cup of enchilada sauce over the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish and spread it out to coat the bottom of the dish.
• Place a tortilla flat on a clean surface and spread a spoonful of the tempeh/bean mixture across the tortilla. Next sprinkle over a small handful of the shredded vegan cheese. Roll up the tortilla and place it seam-side down into your prepared baking dish. Continue this process until all 8 tortillas have been filled and placed in the dish. You'll want to use about 1 cup of the shredded vegan cheese, or more as needed.
• Pour over the remaining enchilada sauce and spread it evenly over the tortillas. Sprinkle the top of the enchiladas with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded vegan cheese.
• Bake the enchiladas uncovered for about 20 minutes.
• Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as shredded lettuce, salsa, vegan cashew sour cream, guacamole, cilantro, etc.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container for a few days.

Steps:

• Rinse lentils thoroughly to remove any dirt and place them in a medium-sized pot. Add broth and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer with a lid on for about 20 minutes (or until tender). Then remove the pot from the heat but keep covered for a further 10 minutes.
• While the lentils cook, prepare your enchilada sauce first and then start making the enchilada filling. To make the enchilada sauce, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add all spices and cook for about 2 minutes. Stir in the flour, and cook for another minute, stirring frequently. Add the tomato sauce and bring to a boil. Let simmer until the sauce is thick, approximately 5 minutes.
• To make the enchilada filling: In a skillet heat oil over medium heat. Add onion + garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add chopped bell peppers, tomato, grated carrot, and 1-2 hot chili peppers and sauté for 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Add all dry ingredients (spices, salt + pepper, the oats, the sunflower seeds, and the ground chia seeds) into a food processor and blend for about 20-30 seconds.
• Add the cooked veggies and the tomato paste, and blend again.
• Finally, add the cooked lentils and blend until everything is combined. The mixture should stick together and the texture should look like in the pics below. If the mixture isn't thick enough or doesn't stick together, then add more ground oats.
• Preheat oven to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Spread 2 heaped tablespoons (100 g) of enchilada filling over a tortilla.
• Roll up the tortilla and place it into a greased baking dish.
• Repeat this step with the other tortillas.
• Then pour the enchilada sauce on top of the tortillas. I made two layers of 4 tortillas each (7 x 11 in baking dish) but you can make just one layer with 8 tortillas. The filling is enough for 12 tortillas, so you could also make more than 8 (depending on the size of your baking dish).
• Bake uncovered for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, pour my easy vegan cheese sauce on top (or use your favorite vegan cheese to taste), and put the enchiladas back into the oven for 10-15 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or greens of choice (optional). You can also pour a little vegan sour cream on top if desired.

Steps:

• Boil or steam the potatoes until almost done, but still firm, If you want to, peel the skin off with a knife while the potatoes are still warm.
• Dice the potatoes into small cubes.
• Next, sauté the onions in oil until transparent. Add some of the salt, oregano, and Lawry spice to the onions while they are cooking.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, the beans, the zucchini, the olives, and the sautéed onions.
• Season with salt, oregano, and Lawry spice to taste, and mix well. You can use any of your favorite seasonings.
• Next, combine the enchilada sauce and spaghetti sauce in a bowl and mix well. If you want to make the corn tortillas softer before rolling the enchiladas, heat a drop of oil in a non-stick skillet and cook them briefly on each side, one at a time.
• Transfer them to a plate.
• Grease or use non-stick spray to lightly coat a large ovenproof baking dish.
• You are now ready to roll your enchiladas.
• One at a time, spread a spoonful of the sauce on a corn tortilla, fill with 1/4 cup of the vegetable bean mixture, and roll up each tortilla. Place them in the baking dish, seam side down. Alternatively, you can dip each corn tortilla in the sauce before you add the filling, making sure that you coat each side of the tortilla with sauce.
• After all the tortillas are filled and rolled and in the baking dish, cover them with the red sauce, adding as much sauce as you like.
• Bake in the oven at 350º for 20-25 minutes if you leave the dish uncovered. For a softer enchilada, cover the dish with foil on top and then bake for 45-50 minutes.
• Garnish with lettuce, tomatoes, and avocados and enjoy!

VEGAN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a large casserole dish with nonstick spray. Set aside.
• Prepare the enchilada filling: Place the tofu in a food processor and puree for several minutes until smooth, stopping to scrape down the bowl as needed. Sprinkle in the salt, turmeric, black pepper, and cayenne. Pulse a few more times to mix well.
• Heat the 2 tablespoons oil in a deep skillet over medium. Once hot and shimmering, add the jalapeno, bell pepper, and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tofu and nutritional yeast, if using, and continue cooking and stirring until the tofu is heated through and dries somewhat (it should look similar to scrambled eggs), about 5 minutes. Stir in the beans and thawed, pressed spinach. Stir, breaking up the spinach as you go. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
• Spoon a thin layer of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Wrap the tortillas in damp paper or cloth towel and microwave for 30 seconds to make them more pliable. Scoop a 1/4-cup portion of filling into each tortilla (or whatever amount you desire), roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Spoon the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the enchiladas. Lightly coat any exposed tortillas with a little nonstick spray or brush with olive oil so that they crisp nicely in the oven.
• Bake for 15 minutes, or until the sauce is hot and bubbly and the tortillas are golden. Serve with desired toppings.

VEGAN ENCHILADAS STUFFED WITH GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low. Add chiles and cook, turning constantly with tongs, until slightly darkened in color and fragrant, about 3 minutes. (Be careful not to burn chiles or they'll become bitter.) Transfer chiles to a medium bowl, leaving oil behind in skillet; reserve skillet. Pour 3 cups hot water (6 cups if doubling base recipe) over chiles and weigh down chiles with a smaller bowl to keep submerged. Let soak until softened, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook onion, garlic, and salt in reserved skillet, stirring occasionally, until browned and slightly softened, 12-15 minutes. Add oregano and cumin and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer onion mixture to a blender.
• Add chiles and 1 cup chile soaking liquid to blender and purée, adding more soaking liquid if needed, until smooth. (If you don't have a high-powered blender, you may want to pass purée through a fine-mesh sieve.) You should have 2½ cups chile base. If you have less, add more chile soaking liquid and blend again to combine. Do ahead: Chile base can be made 5 days ahead. Let cool; transfer to an airtight container and chill, or freeze up to 3 months.
• Preheat oven to 350°. Purée chile base, canned tomatoes, and broth in a blender until smooth. Transfer to a medium saucepan and season with salt and pepper. Partially cover (to avoid splattering) and bring to a simmer over medium heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until enchilada sauce thickens slightly and flavors meld, 18-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, slice ½" from top of garlic, exposing cloves. Set on a square of foil and drizzle with oil; season with salt and pepper. Wrap up foil to encase garlic and bake until very tender, 50-60 minutes. Unwrap, let cool slightly, then squeeze out cloves into a medium bowl.
• Place potatoes in a medium pot and pour in cold water to cover by 2"; season generously with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, 20-25 minutes. Drain potatoes and let cool slightly, then peel. Transfer to bowl with garlic and add nutritional yeast, mushroom powder (if using), cumin, 1 cup almond milk, and remaining ¼ cup oil; season with salt and pepper. Mash with a potato masher or fork, adding up to ¼ cup more almond milk if needed, until smooth and creamy. Set potato filling aside.
• Spread ½ cup enchilada sauce in a 13x9" baking dish. Warm tortillas on a dry comal or an oiled griddle until pliable, about 30 seconds per side and set aside. Spoon ¼ cup enchilada sauce into a shallow dish. Dredge a tortilla in sauce on both sides to coat. Fill with ⅓ cup reserved potato filling and roll up tightly. Place enchilada, seam side down, in baking dish. Repeat process with remaining tortillas, using more sauce as needed and packing enchiladas tightly into baking dish. Spoon more sauce over, reserving some for serving. Cover enchiladas with foil and bake until warmed through, 12-15 minutes.
• Uncover and top with white onion, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and cilantro. Serve with remaining enchilada sauce alongside. Do ahead: Enchilada sauce can be made 5 days ahead. Let cool; transfer to an airtight container and chill, or freeze up to 3 months. Reheat before using.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the sauce: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chile powder, cumin and cayenne, and continue to cook, stirring, until the spices are toasted, about 1 minute. Add 2 cups water, the tomato puree and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and bring to a simmer. Continue cooking until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly (it should be looser and thinner than marinara sauce), 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• For the filling: Squeeze all the excess moisture out of the spinach. Put it into a large bowl with the pinto beans, and squeeze with your hands to combine and smash up the beans a little. Add half of both the Cheddar and the pepper Jack, half of both the sour cream and the scallions and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, and stir to combine.
• Spread about 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Lay the tortillas out on a work surface, and spread 1 side of each with about 1 teaspoon of tomato sauce. Put about 1/4 cup of the filling across the middle of each tortilla. Roll each up, then shingle them in 2 even rows in the baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas, and sprinkle with the remaining cheeses. Cover the baking dish loosely with foil, and bake until the cheeses are melted and the filling is hot, about 30 minutes. Uncover, and continue baking to heat completely through, about 10 minutes more.
