hello hello!

veg enchiladas are the bomb and good for winter time seeing how they're super filling, hot and tasty.

here's my recipe:

whole wheat tortilla
1 large can or 2 small cans of red or green enchilada sauce
2 bell peppers green/red or whatever colors you like
1 small yellow squash
1 small zucchini
1 onion
garlic paste or chopped garlic to taste ( I use alot)
refried black beans or pinto bean
your favorite chili pepper (i use small green chili or jalapenos) be careful with these because the add alot of heat

spray or coat a glass baking dish with your fav oil and add 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce to dish as well

halve the veggies lengthwise then julienne them so that you have thin strips of the squash,peppers, zucc, and onions.

2 tbls of oil to large skillet, saute onions until soft then add garlic. cooking until translucent. 

add peppers, squash and zucchini, cook until soft.

add chopped chili's or jalapenos 

add beans and mix all together until ingredients are incorprated, turn of heat.

take tortilla and stuff with bean and veggie mix, add tbls of enchilada sauce and vegan cheese if desired roll up and continues until dish is full. cover with enchilada sauce and bake in a 425 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes.

serve with vegan sour cream and spanish rice.

I have made lots of variations of this recipe, I love adding the rice into the enchilada before baking, i've put in broccoli, a can of kidney beans even green beans which was surprisingly good, its a very flexible recipe and one that I make at least once a month.. YUM YUM!

Hi!  I am new too and had a similar problem... I used to love to cook but then quickly got into a rut when my old recipes no longer appealed.  I looked at many cookbooks (you'll find great reviews in the cookbook section here) to find ones that fit my preferences:  easy, vegan, and light on refined flour, sugar, and soy products.  Finding "1,000 Vegan Recipes" was thrill for that reason; it uses just what I want to eat and gives 1,000 ways to do it.

Last night I made an Asian slaw, Hot & Sour soup, Scallion pancakes, and Coconut Nice Cream.  Had everything on hand except for slaw mix, bamboo shoots and arrowroot.  A quick run to the grocer and I was set.  Did not take long and tasted great!

I suppose I'll go put a review in the cookbook section....

I didn't love cooking until I went vegan.  Do you ever pick something you have never tried and plan a meal around it?  Before I went vegan, I had never cooked bok choy, turnip greens, red lentils (lots of others, but those come to mind), so I would try lots of recipes with those things.  Also I started trying all types of ethnic foods.
