Equipment
Ingredients
Enchiladas
- 8 mini tortillas
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 yellow onion - finely diced
- 1 bell pepper - diced
- 1 cup (154 g) corn
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 2 cups (232 g) pumpkin - steamed
- 1 ½ cups (258 g) black beans - cooked
- 1 ½ cups (265.5 g) kidney beans
- 1 cup (30 g) baby spinach
Enchiladas Sauce
- 1 ½ tbsp olive oil
- 1 ½ tbsp flour - buckwheat used
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp chili powder
- ½ cup (131 g) tomato paste
- ¼ tsp sea salt flakes
- 3 ½ cups (828.06 ml) low-sodium vegetable stock
Protein Cilantro Sauce
- 300 g silken tofu
- ½ cup (8 g) fresh cilantro
- 1 lime - juiced
- pickled jalapeños - to taste
- 1 clove garlic
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- For the enchiladas sauce, in a small pot, combine the olive oil and flour. Add the spices and cook for a couple of minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Gradually add the vegetable stock, stirring well to combine.
- In a pan over medium heat, add the olive oil and diced onion. Cook for about 3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
- Add the diced bell pepper, corn, and seasonings to the pan. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring regularly to ensure even cooking.
- Stir in the beans, followed by the steamed pumpkin and baby spinach. Stir until the spinach wilts. Slightly mash the pumpkin and beans to create a chunky mixture.
- Place a spoonful of the mixture onto each tortilla, roll them up, and place them in a baking dish.
- Pour the enchiladas sauce over the tortillas, ensuring they are fully covered. Bake for 25 minutes.
- While the enchiladas are baking, prepare the protein cilantro sauce by blending all the ingredients until smooth.
- Once the enchiladas are done, drizzle the cilantro sauce over them and serve.
