BEST (vegan) Enchiladas

Being vegan has presented 

many challenges but

within itself many

successes.

First, I want to give credit

to Sheila Wright for

giving this recipe to

me.

Second, I want to thank my

husband for trying 

everything I make good

or bad.

________________________

These vegan enchiladas are really easy,fast, 

and affordable. Best part, its two meals.

When making the enchiladas there are a few parts:

①Tomatillo sauce

②Cheesy sauce (or other cheese replacement)

③Tortilla choice.

⧔We like to use  Sonoma gluten free/natural tortillas

from Whole Foods.

⧔Cheese options are either Daiya mozzeralla(vegan)

or a sauce which will be below.

______________________________

Tomatillo Sauce

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 pound tomatillos, husks removed and quartered ( I use canned if I don’t have fresh)

½ cup yellow onion chopped

2 cloves garlic peeled

1 cup water

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 ancho chili/or jalapeno

Freshly ground pepper to taste

Saute in olive oil, tomatillos, onion and garlic for 5 minutes. Pour in water, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

Place tomatillo mixture and remaining ingredients in Vita Mix container(or blender) in order listed.

Run for 3-4 minutes

After blending, I keep the sauce in a saute pan

to keep warm.

____________________

6 tortillas

2 cans black beans

1 cup rice (make ahead of time)

1 can mild green chillis

1 cup diced black olives

1 jalapeno diced

MIX ALL except tortilla

___________________

Turn oven to 350

Put some on the sauce in the bottom of the baking pan.

Dip tortilla in the sauce, and place a little mixture in and roll up and place in pan. When all 6 enchiladas are in the pan pour sauce over the enchiladas and top with grated vegan cheese or wait to put cheesy sauce on afterwards. Place dish in the oven and cook for 30 minutes uncovered. 

Save some tomatillo sauce to put on afterwards.

Cheesy Sauce

vegan mayonnaise

Nutritional yeast flakes

water

I usually do about a 2:1 ratio 

of mayonnaise to water then add

nutritional yeast to taste, until it

tastes "cheesy"

Can add more or less of any ingredient 

until it is the right consistency
