Ingredients

For the enchilada sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 6 ounces tomato paste
  • 2 cups vegetable broth

For the filling:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 ounces (1/2 cup) mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the enchiladas:

  • 8 8-inch tortillas
  • 1/2 cup vegan cashew queso, optional

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
  • Make the enchilada sauce by whisking together olive oil and corn starch in a large skillet over medium heat, until starch has fully dissolved.
  • Add in the chili powder, cumin, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder, cook for 2 minutes.
  • Pour in apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, and vegetable broth, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes or until sauce has thickened.
  • Prepare the filling by heating olive oil in a separate large skillet over medium heat. Add in mushrooms, bell pepper, and yellow onion, cook for 3-5 minutes or until veggies are tender.
  • Add in black beans, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and ½ cup of enchilada sauce you made earlier. Stir and cook for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
  • Roll enchiladas by placing ¼ cup of filling mixture in the center of each tortilla, ten rolling tortilla around filling to seal. Repeat this process until all 8 tortillas are stuffed and rolled.
  • Spoon half homemade enchilada sauce into the bottom of a large baking dish. Then, place all 8 enchiladas on top of sauce with the seam side facing down.
  • Top with remaining enchilada sauce, then vegan cashew cheese if using. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly.
