Ingredients

  • 1 large onion diced
  • 10 large garlic cloves minced
  • 1 large green pepper diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 10 flour tortillas
  • 1 15 oz can black beans, drained
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • ¾ teaspoon chili powder
  • juice of 1 small lime
  • salt and pepper to taste I used ½ tsp each

For the topping

For serving

  • fresh limes
  • sliced avocado
  • cilantro

Instructions

  • Make one batch of vegan queso in a blender according to the recipe instructions
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  • To a large skillet, add the onion, garlic, bell pepper, and olive oil. Cook over medium heat for 6 - 8 minutes, until onion is translucent
  • Add the frozen corn and cook another 4 - 5 minutes, until warmed
  • Add drained black beans, ¼ cup of the vegan queso, paprika, cumin, chili powder, and lime juice. Salt and pepper to taste (I used ½ tsp each)
  • Warm tortillas in the microwave on a plate before assembling. This will help them not break when you roll them.
  • Grease 9 by 13 baking dish with olive oil spray
  • Assemble enchiladas and roll them up, then place them in the baking dish
  • Top the enchiladas with the remaining vegan queso, and use a rubber spatula to spread it evenly on top
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes
  • Serve topped with avocado, cilantro, and fresh lime juice on top!

Notes

Making them less spicy

These are not overly spicy, but they do have a kick to them. For a less spicy enchilada, use less of the smoked paprika or leave it out all together.
