Spicy Spinach Potato Enchiladas Vegan Recipes

SPINACH AND POTATO ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Depending on how quickly your oven heats up you can do this sometime during step 3. Preheat oven to 375.
• Heat a large saucepan or skillet to medium - high heat. Add in a little oil and let heat though
• Add the potato's, along with some salt and pepper to taste. Stirring the potato's occasionally let them cook through, letting the edges reach a nice golden brown (about 20 min.). It helps to cook them faster if you cover the pot/skillet while they are cooking.
• Add in the jalapeno's, onion, and garlic, cooking until the onion and garlic are fragrant and transparent.
• Add the spinach and cilantro last, cooking for another couple minutes.
• Grease a 13 " x 9 " baking pan, placing about 1/2 cup mixture per tortilla. Fold over both sides, and place seam down on the baking pan.
• Once all tortilla's are in the baking pan, pour enchilada sauce over, trying to cover most of the tortilla's.
• Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and green onions.
• Place in the oven for 20 min. or until cheese is bubbly and the exposed tortilla's are golden.

VEGETARIAN SPINACH AND MUSHROOM ENCHILADAS

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

• Place tortillas between 2 paper towels and heat in a microwave oven until warm, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Scoop about 2 tablespoons spinach mixture, 1 tablespoon cream mixture, and 1 to 2 tablespoons shredded Monterey Jack cheese into a tortilla. Roll up and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Spread any remaining cream mixture on top of enchiladas. Sprinkle any remaining Monterey Jack cheese on top. Cover.

SPICY VEGAN POTATO CURRY

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.
• Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Season with cumin, cayenne pepper, curry powder, garam masala, ginger, and salt; cook for 2 minutes more. Add the tomatoes, garbanzo beans, peas, and potatoes. Pour in the coconut milk, and bring to a simmer. Simmer 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

POTATO AND SPINACH ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Simmer pasta sauce with spices and herbs on very low heat while preparing the enchiladas.
• Peel and dice the potatoes and boil them until tenders - about 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Cook the oil and garlic over medium low heat, stirring occasionally. Add the kale, sprinkle with a little salt, and raise the heat to medium, stirring constantly to cover the kale with oil and garlic.
• Partially cover the pot to steam the kale until it has wilted - 4-6 minutes.
• Mix in the potatoes, stock, lime juice, pumpkin seeds, and salt. Use the back of a wooden spoon to mash some of the potatoes and cook another five minutes. Taste and season.
• Ladle some of the tomato sauce into the bottom of a casserole dish and spread it around. Take a warmed tortilla, run the potato mixture down the middle and roll up. Pack the tortillas into the casserole dish. Pour about a cup of sauce over the top when finished all the tortillas. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds.
• Cover tightly with foil and bake at 375°F for 25 minutes, Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes, until edges of tortillas look a little browned.
• Top individual servings with extra sauce. Serve with a green salad and some vegan guacamole.

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.

SPICY SPINACH POTATO ENCHILADAS (VEGAN)

Steps:

• Drizzle some vegetable oil in the bottom of a pan and add the diced potatoes and salt (I just guess on the amount of salt) until soft enough to eat. If the potatoes start sticking, add water to loosen them off the pan.
• Meanwhile, saute the tofu in 1 tbs vegetable oil until firm. Add the red onion, serrano, garlic, and saute an additional 3-5 minutes. Add the spinach and salsa, stir lightly until the spinach is wilted. Don't forget salt to taste.
• Warm the corn tortillas so that they are soft enough to roll (I use the microwave). Grease the bottom of a brownie/cake pan and spread a small layer of the tomatillo salsa on the bottom. For each enchilada, take a scoop of potatoes and a scoop of the tofu mixture and place in the middle of a tortilla. Roll up, and put each one in the pan side by side. Top with the remaining tomatillo salsa, and sprinkle with vegan cheese (I use daiya!). If no vegan cheese, then sprinkle with the nutritional yeast instead. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes, until the sauce is looking a little dryer and the edges of the tortillas are crispy.
• * This recipe is very flexible. You could put some black beans in with the enchiladas, saute more vegetables in with the tofu, omit the potatoes, etc. Whatever you like!
