West Coast Enchiladas

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    2 cans organic refried black beans
    3 ripe avocadoes, mashed
    2 ripe tomatoes, diced
    1 bunch cilantro, chopped
    4 cloves garlic, minced
    1 red or yellow bell pepper, diced
    2 cups enchilada sauce or 1 1/2cups salsa mixed with 1/2 cup water
    1/2 cup cashews, chopped
    1 1/2 cups shredded vegan cheddar cheese
    12 organic yellow corn tortillas

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Heat black beans slightly on stove, it makes them easier to work with.

3. Mash avocadoes in med. bowl, add diced tomatoes, garlic, cilantro, bell pepper.

4. Heat 1 cup enchilada sauce (or half the salsa/water mixture) in a saucepan. Soak each tortilla just until soft.

5. Layer each tortilla with 2 tablespoons each of beans and avocado mixture. Sprinkle with cashews and vegan cheese.

6. Assemble enchiladas into two 9x11 baking dishes (each will hold 6 enchiladas). Pour remaining sauce over top and sprinkle with extra vegan cheese if you like (I do!)

7. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until tops are slightly browned.

Enjoy! These are great for a dinner party and awesome as leftovers the next day!!

These are also great if you like to add extra chopped cashews on top during baking. YUM!!

Makes: 12 servings, Preparation time: 15 minutes, Cooking time: 20 minutes

This was very good. Somehow, I ended up with WAY too much filling. I think 1 can of beans, 2 avocados, and 1 tomato will be plenty next time. The cashews are a nice touch. I was concerned about baking avocados, I thought they would get brown and yucky, but they were great. Thanks!

This was yummy! The flavor was excellent.

I also had extra filling, though I just have extra tortillas, so I'll make more for lunch tomorrow - since there weren't any leftovers!

These were great with some homemade enchilada sauce. Although I do like cashews, I'm not sure they add much to the dish. I'll probably omit them next time. I must admit that normally I despise the taste of cilantro, but I decided to give it another try, and I actually really liked it! Maybe it's because the cilantro is baked in the dish, rather than "raw." Will make again soon, thanks!!

Great recipe! Thanks for sharing! I did make a few changes to suit my tastes. I added some diced green chilies and 1/2 tsp ground cumin to the black beans while they heated up. I also added some homemade mexican rice inside the enchilada along with the beans and avocado mixture and some Vegan Gourmet mozzarella cheese. I made my own enchilada sauce and sprinkled more cheese on top of the whole thing and covered it with foil while baking to help the cheese melt a bit. Fantastic flavor and will definitely make again!

I was not overly impressed with this recipe. It wasn't bad, but I wouldn't make it again. In all fairness, I did forget to add the cilantro and used monterey jack instead of cheddar, but I felt it lacked in flavor and was too "mushy." I LOVE cashews like crazy, but I didn't really understand their purpose in the enchiladas. Oh well...

I thought this was a great recipe, and so did my husband.  The leftovers are great for busy folks like us.  Another plus is that you can cook one of the pans a day or two later...if you can wait that long.  I'll be making this again.  Thanks.

This one was really good, but I did make a few changes.  I used white cheese (mojack i think) instead of cheddar, I forgot the cilantro, used 6 more tortillas, left out the nuts (yuck), and I used regular refried beans and not the black refried beans.  Also, I am lazy so instead of making actual enchiladas, I did a layer thing with it, which work out beautifully for all the extra stuffing.  Basically, I just did a layer of tortillas, all the beans, tortillas, all the avocado mix, tortillas, and then cheese and the rest of the sauce.  AMAZING stuff!!  I think next time I'll try adding some chicken starter by MorningStar to the avocado layer.
