    Alrighty Guys... 

    Let's just say that Taco Tuesday doesn't get any better than this.

    Or Meatless Monday for that matter. 😉

    VEGETARIAN ENCHILADAS

    Are one of my favorite ways to switch up Mexican food..

    But one of my primary reasons for updating the recipe was these Soft Almond Flour Tortillas.

    Well that and my love for Mexican food.

    And since I haven't made these Vegetarian Enchiladas with my homemade wraps...

    Plus since these wraps continue to be one of the most loved recipes ❤ here on the blog...

    I just knew it had to happen... and boy oh boy I'm glad it did.

    So let's just say they're now going to be a regular in our house AGAIN and hopefully yours. 

    Cause using homemade tortillas and enchilada sauce makes all the difference in the world.

    Can I make Vegetarian Enchiladas using store brand wraps and enchilada sauce?

    You certainly can make these enchiladas with store bought wraps & sauce but I highly recommend  making your own.

    The sauce and wraps can easily be made a day ahead or even the morning you plan on making these.

    A lot of this recipe can be prepped ahead making it easy when you're ready to prepare.

     

    Black beans, corn, peppers, onions, cilantro in a cast iron skillet with a spoon.

     

    Even chopping up the veggies prior to getting started... great prep idea...

    These Vegetarian Enchiladas are made with black beans, corn, bell peppers, onions and cilantro and topped with homemade enchilada sauce. Can be made ahead and re-heated. Perfect for a tasty vegetarian family friendly dinner. Gluten Free.

    Can I re-heat these vegetarian enchiladas 

    Yes.... they are great made ahead... and re-heated.

    Once cooked, cooled and refrigerated make sure to cover em...

    Just warm them in the oven prior to dinner at a low setting till heated all the way through.

    What you'll need for homemade Enchilada sauce....

    • tomato sauce
    • cornstarch
    • coconut oil
    • chili powder
    • vegetable broth
    • onion powder
    • garlic powder

    And you can make this homemade sauce in only 10 minutes.

    So with only a few ingredients and ten minutes time there is no reason not to make your own gluten free, vegan enchilada sauce.

    And it's so good on all your favorite Mexican inspired dishes...

    Whether it be baked casserole or burritos or these enchiladas it's so worth 10 minutes of your time.
