5 Ingredient Vegan Enchiladas Recipes

VEGAN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Finely chop the onion and cut the bell peppers into small pieces.
• Heat some oil in a large pan and sauté the onion and the garlic for about 2-3 minutes. Then add the bell pepper and cook for another 4 minutes.
• Drain and rinse the canned black beans or use home-cooked beans. Place them in a large bowl and mash them with a potato masher. Leave some beans intact for texture.
• Add the onion, garlic, and bell pepper mixture to the mashed beans. Season with cumin, smoked paprika powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
• Fill the tortillas with the bean bell pepper mixture and roll them up.
• Lightly spray a baking dish with non-stick spray. Place the enchiladas seam side down in the baking dish. Preheat your oven to 350 °F.
• Now make the vegan enchilada sauce. Heat two tablespoons of oil in a large pan. Then add two tablespoons of flour and cook for about 2 minutes. Stir constantly and be careful not to burn it. Then add the crushed tomatoes and the spices. Cook for 5 minutes.
• Pour the enchilada sauce over the enchiladas and spread evenly.
• Sprinkle with vegan cheese.
• Bake the enchiladas at 350 °F for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and green onions. If you don't like fresh cilantro, you can replace it with parsley. Serve immediately.

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.)

• Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes.

VEGAN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Tip the flour into a medium bowl. Mix 2 tsp oil with 100ml water, then pour this over the flour and stir with a cutlery knife until the mixture starts to come together into a dough. Use your hands to form the dough into a ball, then quarter and cover with a tea towel. Set aside.
• To make the beans, tip the peppers and oil into a large non-stick pan set over a medium heat. Cover and cook for 10 mins, stirring every now and then. Add the garlic and spices, then tip in the bouillon powder. Drain one of the cans of black beans and tip in the beans, then add the other can of beans along with the liquid from the can. Cook for a few minutes, stirring until the mixture has reduced. Mash the beans a couple of times with the back of a wooden spoon to thicken.
• To make the sauce, tip the passata and chopped tomatoes into a small pan with the bay, chilli flakes (if using), garlic and 2 tbsp water, then cover and simmer over a low heat for 5 mins. For the guacamole, mix all the ingredients together (or half of the ingredients, if you're following the vegan Healthy Diet Plan) and set aside.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 4. Heat a large non-stick dry frying pan over a medium heat. Roll out one of the dough quarters on a lightly floured surface until very thin - it should be a roughly 21cm circle. Carefully transfer to the frying pan and cook for 1 min, then flip and cook for a few seconds more until cooked through and lightly golden. Repeat with the remaining dough pieces so you have four wraps.
• Working with one wrap at a time, spoon a quarter of the bean mixture down the middle, then roll up and lay in a shallow ovenproof dish. Repeat with a second wrap, arranging this one next to the first, then lay the remaining filled wraps in a second shallow ovenproof dish. Spoon the tomato sauce over the wraps in the dishes, then cover with foil. Bake one dish for 15 mins, then uncover and bake for 5 mins more until the tops of the wraps are crisp at the edges. Put the second dish in the fridge to chill for another day, if you're following the vegan Healthy Diet Plan. Will keep for up to three days. Remove from the oven and spoon the guacamole over the top before serving. If following the plan, enjoy the second dish of enchiladas at a later date. Bake at the same temperature, adding 10 mins to the cooking time. Meanwhile, make the guacamole using the remaining half of the ingredients before spooning over at the end.
