Instructions

Black Bean Filling

  1. Sauté onions in the oil until soft, add garlic and poblano pepper. Cook another minute.
  2. Next add all ingredients. Stir to combine. Cook for an additional couple of minutes. Set aside.

Enchilada Sauce

  1. Combine chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt, in a small bowl. Set aside.
  2. In a saucepan add olive oil on medium heat. Whisk in the flour. Next add the mixed seasoning. Let simmer for a minute or so to develop the flavor.
  3. Add water, tomato paste, and better-than-bouillon. Bring to a boil. Let simmer on stove for 3-5 minutes while stirring.
  4. Add the lime juice (and 1 tablespoon vegan margarine if desired)

Corn

In a saucepan add all ingredients and cook for a couple minutes.

Assemble the Dish:

  1. In a greased pan, add about 1/3 of the enchilada sauce. Fill each tortilla with about 1/3 cup of the bean filling. Arrange in pan.
  2. Pour the rest of the enchilada sauce over the filled tortillas.
  3. Bake at 350F for 30 min. Serve with avocados and fresh salsa (see my recipe).

Notes

This would be a great recipe to serve with a cheese sauce. (see my recipes) I like to serve this recipe with a vegan cream dressing or vegan sour cream.
