Description:
This dish is SUPER yummy! We were looking for something different to try tonight to inspire my children to enjoy the same dinner we eat. Lyla liked the picture she saw online. This dish totally lived up to my expectations and more. Since the picture showed corn on the cob and collard greens I added that to go along with it. I also added a little sour cream and nutritional yeast (as suggested) as well as adding scallions. I made guacamole to go along with it because that makes everything taste good but it was really not necessary.
Lyla thought it was good but too spicy. She ended up just eating corn on the cob and collard greens and guacamole w/chips. Adrian insisted his corn was too hot and ended up eating left over mac and cheese. :-( He still wanted his enchilada on the plate even though he wouldn't eat it. lol
Here is the site where I found the recipe: http://veganpandamonium.blogspot.com
Ingredients:
1 pkg tempeh
1 can diced tomatoes with green chiles, drained (says to drain but I didn't)
1 packet taco seasoning
1/2 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 can beans of your choice (I used vegetarian refried beans)
8 flour tortillas (we used multi-grain)
nutritional yeast to garnish (optional)
1 jar of any tomato sauce
grated cheese or sour cream (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. In a large saute pan, saute the onion and garlic with a little olive oil until fragrant and translucent. Add the can of tomatoes and crumble in the tempeh. Mix in the taco seasoning and let it all incorporate for about 5-10 minutes. In a separate sauce pan, let your beans heat up. Once the beans are hot and the tempeh mixture is settled, start assembling your tortillas. I like to spread the beans on first and then add the mixture. Roll it up, and place in a casserole dish. Repeat. I was able to fit 8 enchiladas in a 13 by 9 baking dish. Pour the tomato sauce over the enchiladas. You don't need the whole jar, just enough to cover them evenly. Put in the oven for about 15-20 minutes. That's it!
if you really wanna go wild, try adding some cheese and/or sour cream to the finished product :)
Sounds good. I am going to have to get some nutritional yeast. I see it added to so many recipes now..even popcorn.
ReplyDeleteIf you go to look for nutritional yeast, I've always found it in the supplement section of Whole Foods rather than with food. Just an FYI so you don't waste your time looking with the baking ingredients like I did the first time! ;-)
