Filling

Method

Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Spices

    Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Mix in Beans and Corn

    Add the black beans and corn to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the tomato sauce, vegetable broth, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and cayenne pepper. Stir well and heat over medium heat until warmed through.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 5

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take a corn tortilla and fill it with about 1/4 cup of the vegetable filling. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in a baking dish.

  2. 6

    Repeat the Filling

    Repeat the filling process with the remaining tortillas until the baking dish is filled.

  3. 7

    Pour Sauce Over Enchiladas

    Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the top of the enchiladas. If using, sprinkle vegan cheese on top.

  4. 8

    Bake

    Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly.

  5. 9

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
