Ingredients

  • *for the enchiladas*
  • 1 cup chopped white onion
  • 2 cups cubed yellow potatoes about 1 large potato
  • 1 cup soy chorizo
  • 1-2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil separated
  • 8 oz extra firm tofu
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • pinch of Kala Namak black salt optional
  • 10 oz can green enchilada sauce
  • 10 small corn tortillas
  • *for the avocado cashew cream*
  • ½ cup raw cashews soaked in water overnight or boiled until soft
  • ½ cup unsweetened cashew or almond milk
  • ½ large avocado
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • juice of ½ lime
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • small handful of cilantro

Instructions

  • First, prepare the enchilada filling.
  • In a large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add in the onion and potato, and season with some salt & pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion becomes translucent and potato starts to soften. Add a bit of water periodically to help the potatoes cook.
  • When potatoes are almost done, push the potato and onion mixture to one side of the pan and add in the soy chorizo.
  • Stir everything together, and finish cooking until chorizo is warmed through and potatoes are soft.
  • Remove everything from pan into a large bowl, add in the other tablespoon of olive oil, and place pan back over the heat.
  • Crumble in your 8oz of extra firm tofu, and season with the garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric, black salt, and regular salt & pepper to taste. Cook, stirring often, until tofu is firm and a little crisp on the edges. Add to the large bowl.
  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • To prepare the enchiladas, prepare a 9x13 pan. Grease with olive oil, and spoon a bit of the enchilada sauce at the bottom. Pour your remaining enchilada sauce in a shallow dish. Toast your tortillas and set aside.
  • To assemble, dip your toasted tortillas in the green enchilada sauce. Spoon a bit of the potato/tofu/chorizo filling in the center, and roll up. Place in prepared casserole dish, and repeat with all. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the top.
  • Cover dish with foil, and bake for 20 minutes in preheated oven. Remove the foil, and bake for 10 more minutes.
  • While enchiladas bake, prepare the avocado cashew cream. In a blender, combine the softened cashews, avocado, nondairy milk, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, then add cilantro as desired. Blend until smooth. Refrigerate until needed.
  • To serve, dish up some breakfast enchiladas and top with the chilled avocado cashew cream and some fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
