These vegan bean enchiladas with avocado crema are free of gluten and oil, but full of flavor! Instead of the classic wheat tortillas, I use my lentil wraps for a healthy, filling lunch.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n Ever since I've lived in the US as an Au Pair, I can't imagine a week (ok, let's say a month) without Mexican or Tex-Mex food<\/strong>. Tacos, quesadillas<\/a>, enchiladas - I can't get enough of these spicy filled delicacies in all shapes and colors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n These vegan enchiladas are filled with spiced black beans and vegetables<\/strong>, baked in a simple enchilada sauce<\/strong> and topped with a generous amount of avocado crema.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The special thing about this recipe is the tortillas. Instead of conventional wheat wraps, I used my lentil tortillas<\/a> as the \u201cwrapper\u201d. These are much healthier than the wheat version and are also gluten-free.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n Apart from tortillas, what cannot be missed in a good enchilada recipe? The enchilada sauce<\/strong>, of course. And since enchiladas means something like \"season (or decorate) with chili\" (thanks, wikipedia), we are going to add tons of spices<\/strong>. You better not be hesitant with the chili powder!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Before you can start with the enchiladas, you first need to prepare the gluten-free lentil wraps<\/a>. If you are short on time, use boiling water to soak them<\/strong>, which will reduce the soaking time to 30 minutes<\/strong>. Meanwhile, you can prepare the enchilada sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then put the enchiladas in the oven and make the crema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we will obviously not sprinkle our vegan enchiladas with shredded cheese or a plantbased cheese alternative, I decided to go for a creamy<\/strong> avocado sauce<\/strong> made from cashews, avocado, garlic, lime juice, salt and pepper. Oh yes, this avocado crema really adds that special something to the enchiladas - a fresh contrast <\/strong>to the spicy enchilada sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n The enchiladas taste best fresh from the oven<\/strong>. Because of the enchilada sauce, the lentil tortillas become quite soft <\/strong>over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I would store leftover enchiladas in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days<\/strong> and then reheat for a few minutes in the oven<\/strong> (at around 320 \u00b0F \/160 \u00b0C) rather than in the microwave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alternatively, you can also prepare only part of the recipe <\/strong>for immediate consumption and store the rest of the filling, sauce, avocado crema and lentil tortillas separately in the fridge for later preparation. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n If you give these tasty vegan enchiladas a try, let me know in the comments below.
