Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  2. 2

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.

  3. 3

    Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add the rinsed black beans, frozen corn, and cooked quinoa/rice (if using) to the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

  5. 5

    Pour about 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce into the bottom of your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

  6. 6

    Warm the tortillas slightly (in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or in a dry skillet) to make them more pliable.

  7. 7

    Spoon about 1/4 cup of the black bean and corn filling down the center of each tortilla. Roll them up tightly and place them seam-side down in the baking dish.

  8. 8

    Once all tortillas are filled and arranged, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top, making sure to cover all the tortillas.

  9. 9

    If using, sprinkle the vegan shredded cheese over the enchiladas.

  10. 10

    Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese (if used) is melted and lightly golden.

  11. 11

    Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve hot with a dollop of vegan sour cream or avocado slices. Enjoy your delicious vegan comfort food!

Pro Tips

High in fiber at 10g per serving, this dish will keep you full and satisfied for hours.

Toast your spices in a dry pan for 30 seconds before using to bring out deeper, smokier flavors.

This makes a big batch. Leftovers store well in the fridge for 3-4 days, and most components freeze beautifully for up to 3 months.

Taste as you go and adjust seasoning before serving. Plant-based dishes often benefit from a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of salt at the end.

Serving Suggestions

Round out the plate with roasted seasonal vegetables on the side. Pair with fluffy rice, quinoa, or warm naan bread. Finish with a light dessert like fruit sorbet to end the meal. Top with fresh cilantro, diced avocado, and a squeeze of lime. This serves 6, making it ideal for dinner parties or potlucks.
