Baked Tempeh Enchiladas Recipes

BASIC OVEN-BAKED MARINATED TEMPEH

Steps:

• 1. Combine the tamari, vinegar, and Pickapeppa in a nonreactive dish and stir to combine. If using additional seasoning (see below), add it here. Add the tempeh. Marinate at room temperature, turning occasionally, for 20 minutes to 1 hour or refrigerated for up to 2 days.
• 2. Fifteen minutes before you are ready to cook the tempeh, preheat the oven to 375°F.
• 3. Place the marinated tempeh pieces on a nonstick baking sheet or one that has been sprayed with cooking spray, allowing plenty of air space between chunks. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, then flip the pieces over and bake for another 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and use as desired.
• Seasoning Tempeh
• The above is a basic recipe, designed to be compatible with almost any finished recipe. But the marinade can certainly be zapped up to good effect.
• Try any one to three of the following additions:
• • 1 to 3 cloves garlic, pressed
• • 1 to 2 teaspoons peeled grated ginger
• • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• • 1 to 2 teaspoons honey
• • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• • 1 to 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
• • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon Tabasco or other hot sauce
• • 1 tablespoon ketchup or tomato paste

ENCHILADA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• In a medium bowl, combine the beans, garlic, onion, chile peppers, jalapeno pepper, and tempeh. Pour enchilada sauce into a shallow bowl.
• Dip three tortillas in the enchilada sauce, and place them in the prepared baking dish. Be sure to cover the bottom of the dish as completely as possible. Place 1/2 of the bean mixture on top of the tortillas, and repeat. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the casserole, and sprinkle with olives and shredded cheese.
• Cover, and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover, and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the cheese is melted.

BAKED VEGETARIAN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Grease 2 9x13 baking dishes.
• Combine beans, corn, salsa, tofu, and salt, mixing thoroughly.
• Add 1/3 to 1/2 of the cheese, and mix it in with the rest.
• Spoon some of the mixture into a warm tortilla and roll it up.
• Place the seam side in the baking dish.
• Pour enchilada sauce over enchiladas (I only used 1 1/2 cans).
• Sprinkle remaining cheese over top.
• Bake at 350°F.
• for 20 to 30 minutes.
• If desired, garnish each enchilada with a dollop of sour cream.

BAKED TEMPEH ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Coat a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with nonstick vegetable spray.
• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
• Poach tempeh for 5 minutes (from Vegetarian Times: Before using tempeh in recipes, you can briefly poach it in water to make it more digestible and mellow out the flavor).
• Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic to saucepan.
• Cover and cook 5 minutes or until softened.
• Stir in chili powder, cayenne, water, and salsa, and cook, stirring, until sightly thickened.
• Remove from heat and add tofu sour cream.
• Combine 2 cups sauce and tempeh.
• Spoon a rounded 1/3 cup tempeh mixture onto each tortilla and roll up.
• Arrange the tortillas in a prepared dish, top with remaining sauce, cover, and bake 30 minutes.
• Uncover and bake 5 minutes longer until browned and bubbly.
