Recipe
Vegan Black Bean Enchiladas
Instructions
1
|
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2
|
Spoon about 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce into a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread evenly across the bottom. Set aside.
3
|
Finely chop the red onion and bell pepper. Remove the seeds from the jalapeno and finely dice. Mince the garlic.
4
|
Set an extra-large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once oil is hot, add the onion and peppers. Saute until softened and beginning to brown, 6-7 minutes. Add the black beans, green chilies, garlic, salt, black pepper, cumin, coriander, and oregano. Cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes longer.
5
|
Transfer the bean mixture to a large mixing bowl. Gently mash the beans with a large fork, leaving some whole.
6
|
Place a few tortillas on a dinner plate and warm in the microwave until pliable, 20-30 seconds. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
7
|
Spoon about 1/4 cup of the bean mixture into the center of a tortilla. Gently roll the tortilla and place it seam side down in the sauced baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
8
|
Evenly pour remaining enchilada sauce from the 2 cans over the rolled tortillas, spreading it to make sure all tortillas are covered.
9
|
Cover the dish with a sheet of aluminum foil.
10
|
Bake the enchiladas on middle rack of oven for 20 minutes.
11
|
Carefully remove the foil. Continue baking until edges are bubbling, 7-10 minutes.
12
|
Check to see that enchiladas are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
13
|
Allow the enchiladas to cool for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro, if using, and serve with additional enchilada sauce and hot sauce if you like.
