CHEESY VEGETARIAN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray an 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Arrange 1/3 of the tortillas over the bottom of the prepared dish. Spread 1/2 the Cheddar cheese, onion, and olives over tortillas. Spoon 1/3 of the green enchilada sauce and 1/3 of the Mexican cheese on top. Repeat layering with 1/3 tortillas and the remaining Cheddar cheese, onion, and olives. Spoon another third of the sauce and Mexican cheese on top. Finish with the remaining tortillas, sauce, and Mexican cheese. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until cheese is bubbly on top, about 10 minutes more.

VEGETARIAN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and garlic. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add corn kernels, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Saute, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Add spinach and parsley, cover, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place drained pinto beans into a separate bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork until they are almost paste-like. Place 1/2 of the shredded cheese in a bowl for easy enchilada assembly. Pour 1/2 of the enchilada sauce into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Assemble enchiladas: take 1 flour tortilla, smear some mashed beans vertically along the right side of the tortilla. Place 2 to 3 tablespoons corn mixture on top of the beans, and then some shredded cheese on top of the corn mixture. Starting at the right edge, roll tortilla to the left and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings.
• Pour remaining enchilada sauce evenly on top of rolled tortillas. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and any remaining corn mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.

CHEESE ENCHILADAS (VEGETARIAN/MEATLESS)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix the first 2 cups of cheese with the sour cream, onion powder, and garlic.
• Moisten tortillas and warm slightly in the microwave or oven. Spoon some of the cheese mixture down center of each tortilla. Roll up; place seam sides down in lightly greased or parchment lined oblong baking dish.
• Mix tomato sauce, bell pepper, cayenne pepper and cumin. Spoon tomato mixture lengthwise down center of each enchilada.
• Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese over tomato mixture. You can freeze them at this point or bake immediately. If frozen, thaw before baking.
• Bake uncovered at 350 degrees until cheese is melted and filling is bubbly, about 25 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes and serve immediately, or cover and keep warm in oven with temperature lowered to 200 degrees to serve later.

VEGGIE CHEESE ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. When it shimmers, add the onion and season well with salt. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring rarely until browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, add 1/2 cup of the salsa and mix until well combined.
• Heat the oven to 375 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle. Wrap the tortillas in damp paper towels or in a microwave-safe plastic bag and microwave until soft and heated through, about 45 seconds.
• Spread half of the remaining salsa in the bottom of a 13 by 9-inch baking dish. To make an enchilada, put 2 tablespoons of the mushroom mixture and 1 tablespoon cheese in the middle of a tortilla. Roll up and arrange, seam side down, in the prepared dish. Repeat to make 12 enchiladas.
• Cover the enchiladas with the remaining salsa and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake until the filling is heated through, cheese is melted and starts to brown, about 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and serve with sour cream and avocado.

VEGETARIAN BEAN AND CHEESE ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the onions, bell pepper and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and charred in spots, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the cumin and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
• Transfer half the vegetable mixture to a blender; add the tomatoes, chili powder and hot sauce. Blend until very smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (If your blender isn't particularly strong and the sauce looks more like a chunky purée, add 1/4 cup sour cream and blend again until smooth.)
• Add the black beans and 1/2 cup cheese to the remaining vegetables in the skillet and stir to combine. Some canned beans are already salted, so taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
• Spread out the tortillas directly on the oven rack and heat until warmed and pliable, 1 to 2 minutes, then wrap in a kitchen towel to keep warm. Pour half the enchilada sauce (about 1 1/2 cups) into a medium casserole dish or a 9-by-13-inch baking pan and spread it to cover the bottom of the dish.
• Line up the filling, tortillas and baking dish in a row. Place a little more than 1/4 cup of the bean mixture in the center of one tortilla. Roll up the tortilla and place in the casserole dish, seam-side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
• Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas, then sprinkle with the remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Bake until the cheese has melted, about 10 minutes. Top with sour cream and cilantro and serve immediately.
