Ingredients

For the Enchilada Filling:

  • 1 can 15 oz black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels fresh, frozen, or canned
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

For the Enchilada Sauce:

  • 2 cups tomato sauce or enchilada sauce
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Assembling:

  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup vegan cheese shreds optional
  • Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Sliced green onions for garnish
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Enchilada Filling: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized.
  • Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, and chili powder. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Add the black beans and corn to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Enchilada Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix together the tomato sauce (or enchilada sauce), ground cumin, and chili powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Assembling Enchiladas: Pour a thin layer of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of a baking dish.
  • Warm the corn tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving them for about 20-30 seconds. This will make them pliable and easier to roll.
  • Place a spoonful of the enchilada filling onto each tortilla and roll it up. Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the baking dish.
  • Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, covering them evenly.
  • Baking: If using vegan cheese, sprinkle the vegan cheese shreds over the enchiladas.
  • Bake the enchiladas in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the tortillas are slightly crispy around the edges.
  • Serving: Garnish the baked enchiladas with chopped cilantro and sliced green onions.
  • Serve the vegan enchiladas with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
  • Enjoy your flavorful and satisfying vegan enchiladas!
