Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the cauliflower into florets and toss with olive oil, guajillo powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and tender.

  2. 2

    Cook the Zucchini

    In a skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced zucchini and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Make the Chipotle Black Bean Puree

    In a blender, combine the canned black beans (drained), chipotle in adobo sauce, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Cashew Queso

    In a blender, combine soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Add water as needed to achieve a creamy consistency.

  5. 5

    Make Butternut Pico

    In a bowl, combine diced butternut squash with lime juice, salt, and chopped cilantro. Let it marinate for a few minutes.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    In a baking dish, layer the roasted cauliflower, sautéed zucchini, and Spanish rice. Spread the chipotle black bean puree over the top, and drizzle with cashew queso.

  7. 7

    Bake

    Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes until heated through.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Garnish with chiffonade romaine, butternut pico, cilantro, and spiced pepitas before serving.
