Black Bean and Spinach Enchiladas
These enchiladas are TOTALLY AWESOME! I've never made enchiladas before because I'd never eaten any I was really excited about. I tried these with trepidation, especially since I generally use cumin and cilantro cautiously. I liked these so much I'll definitely be making them often!
To make the sauce, heat over medium heat:
2 tablespoons olive oil
Whisk in:
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons McKay's Chicken Style Seasoning
Then whisk in:
3 cups water
Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until slightly thickened.
For the enchilada filling, mix in a large bowl:
15 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
15 ounce can kernel corn, drained (or you could use frozen corn)
6 ounces spinach (I used frozen spinach, but you could easily use fresh--just cook briefly to wilt)
6 green onions, sliced
1/3 cup cilantro, chopped
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1-1/2 cups vegan cheese sauce (try Crackerbarrel Cheese)
Divide filling between:
6 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
Roll tortillas up tightly with ends tucked in. Lightly spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish and ladle a layer of sauce into the bottom of the pan. Place filled tortillas seam side down in the pan. Pour remaining sauce over the enchiladas. Top with:
1/2 cup vegan cheese sauce (whatever you put inside the enchiladas)
Bake at 375 degrees for 20-30 minutes or until heated through. ENJOY!
You should put some pictures up. I am a visual learner :D
ReplyDeleteGood idea! You mean pictures of the steps involved or just the final product? They won't be like pictures you see in food magazines, but I'll take some.
