How to make vegetarian enchiladas

    Other filling options: Broccoli, potato, sweet potato, cabbage, eggplant, black beans, red kidney beans, chickpeas.
  2. Sauce: Heat oil in a pot then add the flour. Cook for 2-3 minutes then add the spices. Pour in the tomato sauce and sugar then slowly whisk in the stock. Cook the sauce until smooth and creamy then season to taste.
  3. Assembly: Fill tortillas with the vegetables then roll. Place seam-side down in a casserole dish. Pour over the sauce then top with grated cheese and place in the oven. Bake until hot throughout and bubbling.

Making ahead and freezing

Ingredients

For the enchilada sauce

  • ¼ cup oil
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2-3 cups stock
  • pinch of sugar
  • 1 cup tomato sauce / marinara sauce

For the enchiladas

  • 1 red onion finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves minced

  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 400 g (14oz) can beans drained

  • 2 tsp enchilada / taco seasoning
  • 8 tortillas
  • 2 cups grated cheese (I use a combination of cheddar and mozzarella)

Serving

  • Avocado sliced
  • fresh cilantro/coriander

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F.
  • To make the sauce, heat the oil in a pot then whisk in the flour. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring, then add the spices and tomato sauce.

    These vegetarian enchiladas are so delicious and easy to make. I’m doing meat free January and I’ve made these twice, including for a Mexican dinner with friends. With recipes like this I really have not missed meat. Thanks for all the tasty recipes Alida!
