Ingredients

  • *for the “cheesy” sauce*
  • 2 cups peeled and chopped Yukon gold potatoes about 2-3 medium potatoes
  • 1 medium carrot chopped
  • 4 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup unsweetened cashew milk or other nondairy milk
  • 3 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • *for the enchiladas*
  • 12 small tortillas I like corn, but flour works too!
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 3 bell peppers sliced
  • 2 heads Portobello mushrooms sliced
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ – 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1-2 teaspoon olive oil
  • *for topping*
  • avocado tomatoes, salsa, dairy-free sour cream, etc.

Instructions

  • First, make the sauce. In a medium pot, place the chopped potatoes and carrot, and cover with water.
  • Bring water to a boil, and simmer vegetables for about 20 minutes, until very tender when poked with a fork. Drain the vegetables.
  • In a blender, combine the drained vegetables and the rest of the sauce ingredients. Pulse until a smooth, creamy sauce forms. Set aside for now.
  • Preheat oven to 325F.
  • Heat a small saute pan over medium-high heat, and toast the tortillas, one at a time, until lightly charred and soft. Wrap in a paper towel and set aside for now.
  • In a large nonstick saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add in all the vegetables, season with the spices, and cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender and slightly charred.
  • Grab a 9x13 baking pan, spray lightly with baking spray, and spoon a thin layer of the prepared cheesy sauce on the bottom.
  • Divide the vegetable filling evenly among the 12 tortillas, roll up, and place the enchiladas in the pan. Top with more cheesy sauce (you will have some left over!).
  • Bake in preheated over for 10-15 minutes, until sauce is hot and bubbly.
  • Top with desired toppings and serve immediately!
