5) Vegan Enchiladas

Vegan enchiladas are a delicious and nutritious meal that everyone can enjoy. Whether you're looking for a quick weeknight dinner or a satisfying lunch, vegan enchiladas are the perfect option. The filling for these enchiladas is made with black beans, corn, bell peppers, and onions, all of which are packed with plant-based protein and fiber. The enchiladas are then smothered in a flavorful homemade enchilada sauce, adding an extra layer of flavor. The best part? These enchiladas take less than 30 minutes to make and they're sure to please even the pickiest eaters.

To make the enchilada filling, start by heating up some oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced bell peppers, onions, garlic, and jalapeño and cook until they start to soften. Then add the black beans, corn, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and salt and pepper. Cook until everything is heated through, stirring occasionally. Once the filling is done cooking, remove it from the heat and set aside.

Next, it's time to make the enchilada sauce. Start by heating some oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened. Then stir in the tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and salt and pepper. Stir in 1 cup of vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Take a large tortilla and spread a few spoonful's of the enchilada filling down the center. Roll up the tortilla and place it in the baking dish seam-side down. Repeat with remaining tortillas until all of the filling has been used up.

Pour the enchilada sauce over top of the filled tortillas and sprinkle with vegan cheese if desired. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve with your favorite toppings such as chopped lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, and vegan sour cream or Greek yogurt. Enjoy!
