VEGETARIAN ENCHILADAS

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.

VEGETARIAN ENCHILADAS VERDES (GREEN ENCHILADAS)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F. Spread ¼ cup enchilada sauce over the bottom of a 13x9" baking dish.
• Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add bell peppers and zucchini. Cook for 6 minutes, or until the veggies are slightly charred and softened.
• Add white beans and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Stir in ½ cup enchilada sauce and let it simmer for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
• Assemble the enchiladas: Lay out a tortilla. Spread the veggie mixture evenly into the middle of each tortilla (about ¼ cup for each tortilla). Roll up the tortilla and place it face-down into the baking dish. Repeat with all of the tortillas.
• Spread the remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas in the dish. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. Remove from oven and serve immediately. Garnish with cilantro.

VEGETARIAN ENCHILADA LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• While making the "meat" mixture, microwave or roast the yams until fork tender. Mine took about 10 minutes on full power.
• Saute the onions in a large non-stick fry pan for 3-4 minutes.
• While this is cooking, pulse the olive mix in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Add this to your sauté. No need to clean the processor; add your mushrooms, pulse until coarsely chopped, and add this to your sauté. Now pulse the cauliflower, and add to fry pan. Add the cooked lentils and continue to sauté until all vegetables are softened.
• Finish this mix by stirring in the tomatoes, taco mix, corn and beans, and remove from the heat.
• Peel and mash the yams, seasoning to taste. I leave them alone, as they have just right amount of sweetness naturally for my tastes, and the other ingredients will add all the savoriness needed.
• Start to layer lasagna-style in a deep baking pan. I used a half steam-table pan, as it's called in the foodservice industry. Start with a thin layer of enchilada sauce, about 1/4 of the can. Cover this with a layer of tortillas (don't worry about trimming them to fit perfectly). Top with half of your "meat" mixture. Top that with 1/4 of the cheese, and another layer of tortillas. Top that with 1/4 of the sauce, and cover with the yams and 1/4 of the cheese. Add another tortilla layer, the rest of the "meat" mix, 1/4 of the cheese and 1/4 of the sauce. Top with a final layer of tortillas, the rest of the sauce and cheese, and bake uncovered for 30 minutes or so.

THE BEST VEGETARIAN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Combine onion, garlic, green pepper, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt and pepper in a large skillet
• Sautee on medium high heat for 6-8 minutes, until onion becomes translucent
• Add frozen corn kernels and sautee an additional 4-5 minutes, as corn defrosts
• Add drained beans, cream cheese, 1/2 cup shredded mexican cheese, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, and the juice of half a large lime
• Add salt and pepper to taste (I used an additional 1/2 teaspoon of each)
• Build enchiladas using filling and place in a baking dish
• Cover with enchilada sauce and remaining mexican cheese
• Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese becomes slightly crispy (turn up the heat if necessary towards the end for desired crisp) I broil on low the last couple of minutes to make the cheese browned, but if you do this be sure to watch closely so that you don't burn it.
• Serve topped with fresh lime juice and avocado slices
• Enjoy!

VEGETARIAN GREEN CHILE ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• 1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Add salsa ingredients except garlic, limes, and cilantro to a baking sheet. Drizzle all ingredients with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
• 2) Roast veggies for 20-25 minutes until they are soft and slightly charred. Let veggies cool for a few minutes.
• 3) Add roasted veggies to a blender with lime juice, garlic, and cilantro and blend a few times until combined. It should be a finely ground salsa basically. You might have to blend in a few batches. Transfer blended salsa to a medium pot over medium-low heat to keep warm.
• 4) Prep filling ingredients by peeling peppers and slicing longwise into quarters, cutting corn off the cob, and grating cheese.
• 5) Pour a few tablespoons of salsa into a large 9×13 baking dish. Put a small skillet over low heat and add a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once hot, add one corn tortilla and let cook in oil for five seconds per side just to warm it through.
• 6) Using tongs, transfer tortilla to pot with hot tomatillo sauce. Coat tortilla lightly in sauce. Transfer tortilla to a clean surface.
• 7) Add two pepper strips, some corn, and some grated cheese to the tortilla. Roll it up and pack it into the baking dish. Repeat until your baking dish is packed full of enchiladas.
• 8) IF you have leftover corn, sprinkle it on top of your enchiladas along with any extra tomatillo sauce (you should have 2 cups or so of sauce left). SPrinkle enchiladas with extra cheese and bake covered, for 15 minutes at 350 degrees F. Then uncover and bake for another 15 minutes.
• 9) Serve enchiladas with sour cream, cilantro, avocado, and hot sauce.
