Vegan Veggie Enchiladas Food

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.

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a casserole dish and spread 1/2 cup of your enchilada sauce on the bottom of the dish.
• In a skillet oven medium heat, heat the oil. Add in the mushrooms, pepper, onion, jalapeno, and garlic. Saute for 10 minutes.
• Mix in the cumin, oregano, salt and pepper and cook for an additional minute. Take off of the heat.
• Add to the center of each tortilla: 2 tablespoons of beans, 2 heaping tablespoons of the veggie mixture, and a small handful of the cheese. Roll up the tortilla and place it, seam side down, neatly into the casserole dish. Repeat this until all of the ingredients are used up.
• Spread the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the tortillas and spread the remaining cheese over top of the enchiladas.
• Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool slightly and ENJOY!

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.
• For the topping: Whisk together the remaining sour cream, the lime juice and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Drizzle the mixture over the baked enchiladas, and sprinkle with the remaining scallions.

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.

VEGETARIAN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Cook the onions and carrots for 5-8 mins until soft - add a splash of water if they start to stick. Sprinkle in the chilli powder and cook for 1 min more. Pour in the tomatoes and pulses and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat and simmer for 5-10 mins, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Remove from the heat and season well.
• Heat grill to high. Spread a spoonful of the bean chilli over a large ovenproof dish. Lay each tortilla onto a board, fill with a few tbsp of chilli mixture, fold over the ends and roll up to seal. Place them into the ovenproof dish. Spoon the remaining chilli on top.
• Mix the yogurt and grated cheese together with some seasoning, and spoon over the enchiladas. Grill for a few mins until the top is golden and bubbling. Serve with a green salad.
