Vegan Enchiladas Best Ever Recipes

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.

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.)
