Vegan Grain/Gluten-Free Bean & Veggie Enchiladas


My copious amount of beans led me into a bean dish frenzy!  Everything is beans right now!  I remember loving cheese enchiladas back in the day, but now the idea of a corn tortilla stuffed with cheese makes my stomach kinda turn :/.  To make this unhealthy dish healthy I used my un-fried beans and an assortment of veggies and some cashews!!!  This was so delicious, I'm not sure how I ever survived without these!!!

Vegan Grain/Gluten-Free Bean & Veggie Enchiladas
1 Zucchini, sliced on a mandolini slicer into french fry strips
1 Small Red Onion, sliced on a mandolini slicer into french fry strips
1/4 cup shredded Red Cabbage
2 Scallions, sliced
Un-Fried Beans
10 corn tortillas
1/2 cup Cashew halves, pulverized into a meal
1/4 teaspoon Herb Stop's Himalayan Salt
1/2 tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
1 tablespoon Herb Stop's Southwest Mix
1/2 tablespoon Herb Stop's Minced Garlic
1 packet Vegan/Grain-Free Enchilada Sauce Mix
2 tablespoons Bionaturae Tomato Paste
2 cups Water
1 teaspoon Herb Stop's Southwest Mix
1 Scallion Diced
Grapeseed Oil

Lightly grease a rectangular baking dish with grapeseed oil.  Set oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium pot, add enchilada sauce mix, tomato paste, water and 1 teaspoon southwest mix.  Heat until boiling and reduce to simmer.  Cook until slightly thick, about 5 minutes.  Remove from heat and pour into a pie plate.

In a large bowl, add zucchini, onion, cabbage, 2 scallions (diced).  Set aside.  In a seperate bowl, mix cashews, salt, nutritional yeast, 1 tablespoon southwest mix and minced garlic. Combine zucchini mix and cashew mix and stir until well mixed.

Dip one corn tortilla into enchilada sauce to coat both sides.  Add 1/8 cup un-fried beans to the middle.  Top with 1/3 cup zucchini/cashew mix.  Roll each side in to make a rounded enchilada.  Place in pan seam side down.  Continue with the rest of the tortillas and vegetable mixture - this should make 10 enchiladas.  Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the top. Bake for 40 minutes.  To garnish, sprinkle with the remaining scallions.

ENJOY!!!
