How to Make Baked Vegetarian Enchiladas
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9x13 inch baking dishes.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 (15-ounce) can of drained and rinsed black beans, 1 (15-ounce) can of corn, drained, 1 cup of your favorite salsa (mild or spicy), 1 (14-ounce) package of extra-firm tofu, crumbled, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix thoroughly.
- Add 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese) to the bean mixture and gently stir to combine.
- Warm corn or flour tortillas (about 12-15, 6-inch size) either in the microwave or a dry skillet. Spoon approximately 1/3 cup of the filling onto each tortilla.
- Roll up the tortillas tightly and place them seam-down in the prepared baking dishes.
- Pour 1 (24-ounce) jar of your favorite enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese over the enchiladas.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the enchiladas are heated through.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish each enchilada with a dollop of sour cream, if desired, and serve with white rice.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
