Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Roast the Vegetables

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the chopped cauliflower, diced bell peppers, and diced onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine the roasted vegetables with the black beans. Mix well to combine.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Spread a layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Fill each tortilla with the vegetable and black bean mixture, roll them up, and place them seam-side down in the dish. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until heated through.

  5. 5

    Prepare Avocado Cream

    While the enchiladas are baking, blend ripe avocado, lime juice, salt, and a splash of water until smooth. Adjust consistency with more water if needed.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once the enchiladas are done baking, serve hot topped with shredded lettuce and a drizzle of avocado cream.
