Vegetarian Bean And Tofu Enchiladas Recipes

VEGAN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a large casserole dish with nonstick spray. Set aside.
• Prepare the enchilada filling: Place the tofu in a food processor and puree for several minutes until smooth, stopping to scrape down the bowl as needed. Sprinkle in the salt, turmeric, black pepper, and cayenne. Pulse a few more times to mix well.
• Heat the 2 tablespoons oil in a deep skillet over medium. Once hot and shimmering, add the jalapeno, bell pepper, and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tofu and nutritional yeast, if using, and continue cooking and stirring until the tofu is heated through and dries somewhat (it should look similar to scrambled eggs), about 5 minutes. Stir in the beans and thawed, pressed spinach. Stir, breaking up the spinach as you go. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
• Spoon a thin layer of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Wrap the tortillas in damp paper or cloth towel and microwave for 30 seconds to make them more pliable. Scoop a 1/4-cup portion of filling into each tortilla (or whatever amount you desire), roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Spoon the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the enchiladas. Lightly coat any exposed tortillas with a little nonstick spray or brush with olive oil so that they crisp nicely in the oven.
• Bake for 15 minutes, or until the sauce is hot and bubbly and the tortillas are golden. Serve with desired toppings.

CHEESY VEGETARIAN TOFU ENCHILADAS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Slice the pressed/drained tofu into (about) 1" (2.5cm) cubes and place on a parchment or silpat lined sheet pan. Bake for 20 minutes until lightly golden. This will dry the tofu out. Set aside.Turn the oven heat up to 400F (204C).
• You'll need two baking pans or casseroles for this recipe, one large 13"x9" (33x22cm) and a smaller one (6"x4"/ 15x10cm) or two 8x8 (20x20cm) pans. Lightly grease the baking pans with pan spray and lightly coat the bottom of each pan with a bit of enchilada sauce - about 2-4 Tbs each. Tip the baking pans until the the bottom is covered in a thin layer of sauce. Set aside.
• In a medium saute pan add the oil and heat until it shimmers. Add the onion and bell pepper. Still on medium high heat, saute the pepper mixture for about 7-8 minutes giving the veggies time to char and soften a bit. Remove from heat.
• In the work bowl of a food processor, with the S blade attachment in place, add the tofu, tomato paste, cumin, chili powder, chipotle peppers, salt, water and lime juice. Pulse the mixture 3-4 times and scrape down the side of the bowl. Pulse 1-2 more times. The mixture should be in small to medium chunky bits.
• Transfer the filling to the pan with the peppers and add 1/4 C (59g) of enchilada sauce. Stir to mix. No need to reheat. Set aside.
• If using corn tortillas, wrap in foil and pop them in the oven for about 4-5 minutes, just to steam/soften. Or, heat the corn tortillas directly on the stove top on an open flame, about 10-15 seconds per side. Set in foil and cover after each tortilla is added. If using flour or a mixture of flour/corn or flour tortillas, there's no need to warm the tortillas. Place one tortilla on a work surface and spoon in about 3-4 Tbs of filling then top with about the same amount of cheese. Gently roll the tortilla and place seam side down in the pan. Repeat this process until all the enchiladas are made. If you have any leftover filling, spoon it along the edges of the assembled tortillas. Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the tortillas, and use a spoon to make sure all the exposed tortillas are covered in the sauce (even if it's a thin layer - that's okay). Be sure to get the areas in between the enchiladas too! Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
• Cover the pans with foil and bake at 400F for about 20-25 minutes or until bubbly and warmed through. Remove from oven and let set for five minutes before sharing. Serve (optional) with salsa, cilantro, pepita crema, sour cream, jalapeños, avocado slices and/or black olives.
• For leftovers, transfer the enchiladas to a covered container to store up to three days in the refrigerator.To reheat refrigerated enchiladas, preheat oven to 400F cover with foil and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until heated through.

10-MINUTE TOFU ENCHILADAS RECIPE

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 F.
• In a large pan , crumble the tofu and sauté in olive oil with taco seasoning or chili powder until lightly golden brown and coated with spices.
• Transfer the sautéed tofu to a large bowl and add approximately 1/2 cup enchilada sauce and half of the cheese. Combine well.
• In the bottom of a baking pan or casserole dish , spread a thin layer (about 1/4 cup) of enchilada sauce.
• Place a few spoonfuls of the tofu mixture in each flour tortilla. Roll up and place in baking dish, nestling the enchiladas closely together.
• Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas in the pan and sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top.
• Bake your tofu enchiladas for 20 to 25 minutes, or until done.

VEGETARIAN BEAN AND CHEESE ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the onions, bell pepper and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and charred in spots, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the cumin and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
• Transfer half the vegetable mixture to a blender; add the tomatoes, chili powder and hot sauce. Blend until very smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (If your blender isn't particularly strong and the sauce looks more like a chunky purée, add 1/4 cup sour cream and blend again until smooth.)
• Add the black beans and 1/2 cup cheese to the remaining vegetables in the skillet and stir to combine. Some canned beans are already salted, so taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
• Spread out the tortillas directly on the oven rack and heat until warmed and pliable, 1 to 2 minutes, then wrap in a kitchen towel to keep warm. Pour half the enchilada sauce (about 1 1/2 cups) into a medium casserole dish or a 9-by-13-inch baking pan and spread it to cover the bottom of the dish.
• Line up the filling, tortillas and baking dish in a row. Place a little more than 1/4 cup of the bean mixture in the center of one tortilla. Roll up the tortilla and place in the casserole dish, seam-side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
• Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas, then sprinkle with the remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Bake until the cheese has melted, about 10 minutes. Top with sour cream and cilantro and serve immediately.
