Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked white beans
- 1 cup roasted corn
- 1 medium zucchini, diced
- 1 cup salsa verde
- 1 cup shredded vegan cheese
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked white beans, roasted corn, and diced zucchini. Season the mixture with cumin, chili powder, and salt, stirring thoroughly to distribute spices evenly.
- Warm the corn tortillas briefly in a skillet or microwave to make them pliable and prevent cracking during rolling.
- Pour a thin layer of salsa verde on the bottom of the prepared baking dish to prevent sticking and add initial flavor.
- Take each tortilla and fill with approximately 1/4 cup of the bean, corn, and zucchini mixture. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Once all enchiladas are rolled, pour remaining salsa verde over the top, ensuring even coverage.
- Sprinkle shredded vegan cheese evenly across the enchiladas.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes until cheese is melted and edges are slightly crispy.
- Let enchiladas rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with optional fresh cilantro or additional salsa verde if desired.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prepare the filling and assemble the enchiladas a day in advance. Just cover and refrigerate them until you’re ready to bake!
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or spinach to the filling for extra nutrition and flavor.
- Tortilla Trick: Warm the tortillas just enough to make them pliable, preventing them from cracking when you roll them. A quick 20 seconds in the microwave does wonders!
- Layer It Up: For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a layer of salsa verde between the tortillas and the filling before rolling them up.
- Garnish for Extra Flair: Fresh cilantro, avocado slices, or a dollop of vegan sour cream can elevate your enchiladas to the next level. Don’t skip the garnishes!
- Cheese Options: If you’re not strictly vegan, feel free to use your favorite cheese for a creamier texture. Just be mindful of the melting time!
- Bake to Perfection: Keep an eye on the enchiladas in the oven; the key is to achieve a golden, bubbly top without overcooking.Enjoy these tips as you embark on your culinary adventure with White Bean Enchiladas Verdes!
