"Sour Cream Chicken" Enchiladas

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    8 oz. package "chik'n strips", or equivalent frozen, thawed and drained tofu (not silken!)
    1-2 poblano chiles, roasted, peeled and diced
    1 zucchini, diced
    1 medium onion, chopped
    1 15 1/4 oz. can corn, or small bag frozen
    1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
    1 bunch cilantro, roughly chopped
    14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes , drained (I only used half a can), or fresh diced
    1 tablespoon ground cumin
    1 teaspoon oregano leaf
    6-12 oz. Tofutti "Better Than Sour Cream", depending on how much "dairy" you like. I used 9 oz. or 3/4 of a container
    1-2 Tablespoons chipotle in adobo, pureed or mashed
    1 16 oz. can green enchilada sauce, or homemade if you aren't lazy like me!
    about 9 6" corn tortillas

Directions:

First, this recipe would actually make two pans of enchiladas.  But I love the filling so much, that I made 1 pan enchiladas, and I am going to use the rest of the filling for quesadillas, and a tasty southwest chicken salad.  Roasting or grilling the vegetables is a bit of extra work well worth the time.  It gives them so much more flavor.

1. Thaw "chik'n" or tofu.  If using tofu, squeeze out all water.  Dice it up.

2. Drain canned corn or thaw frozen.  Toss corn, onion and diced zucchini with a very small amount of oil (just enough to barely coat veggies), broil or roast in oven at 500 degrees until onions start to  brown.  I actually like mine a bit burnt.  You could also grill them.

3. Mix "chik'n" or tofu, chiles, onions, corn, zucchini, drained tomatoes, cumin, cilantro, beans, cumin, oregano, chipotle and salt to taste.  At this point you could just leave out the "sour cream" if you want a less fatty enchilada.

4. Heat up a very small amount of oil in a pan and quickly saute each side of the corn tortillas, just heating through.  If you do not want the added oil, you could just cover the tortillas with a damp paper towel and put them in the microwave.

5. Dip the tortillas in the enchilada sauce, stuff and put them in a lightly oiled pan.  Top with more sauce.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.  I topped mine with fresh tomato and green onion when they came out of the oven.

This was finger licking good!
Had to make a few changes, of course, mostly to to what was on hand:
Red pepper for the Zucchini.
Dried herbs for the fresh ones.

I roasted the chili peppers along with the other vegetables.
 Used Whole Spelt tortillas.

Yum!

WHOA!  This recipe rocked my world.  I can't believe how flavorfful and delicious it was!  I roasted an anaheim chili (my first pepper roasting experience!) instead of poblano.  I make my own sour cream-- silken tofu blended with lemon juice, cumin, coriander, chili powder, salt.  Oh man, it was amazing.  And I used those Morningstar Chik'n strips for the first time-- they ROCK.  Wow. My boyfriend and I are totally impressed by this.   Cheesy   I wanted to eat the whole batch.

This recipe is fantastic!!  It takes a while to prepare, but I can honestly say it was well worth the wait.  Beware of too much chipotle...I put in two tablespoons, and although I like things spicy, it was just on the edge of being a little too hot.  Regardless, the presentation with green onions and fresh tomatoes at the end was beautiful, and they were a hit at my house, even amongst the meat-eaters!!  Smiley

I make my own sour cream-- silken tofu blended with lemon juice, cumin, coriander, chili powder, salt.

Thanks for the recipe!  I used your sour cream in the enchiladas and when they were a little hot, I put a small amount on the top...excellent!!!

I decided to make this recipe last minute (so there were a few modifications) for my sister (a vegan) and my boyfriend (not quite vegan but super health conscious). We all loved it! My sister suggested using flour tortillas instead next time around - and my boyfriend swears it was better the second and third days as leftovers. We all loved, loved the filling/sauce!

The store I went to did not carry the "chik'n strips" so I opted for xtra firm tofu, which I cut into about 1/4" x 1/2" x 2" strips and lightly sautéed them in olive oil and garlic. I also was unable to locate chipotle in adobo but did find an excellent chipotle sauce (we now use on our breakfast burritos and other Mexican style dishes).

I doubled the ingredients as I wanted my sister to take a pan home, and my boyfriend takes left overs to work for lunch.  I did not "fry" the tortillas nor did I make my own sauce. Also, in my haste to get it all in the oven, I neglected to read the recipe correctly and did a layered casserole instead of stuffing the tortillas - but even after rereading the recipe I think for my purposes (making a bunch at a time) I would opt for the casserole style again but will try making the green sauce.

Thank you, thank you for such a wonderful recipe!! It will definitely be added to our monthly menu!!  Thumbs Up

Oh. My. Goodness. These were soooooooo awesome! If I had the prep time, I'd eat them every day! My meat eater girlfriend even loved them (and she is very wary of most things vegan)! I think this is the best thing I've made from a recipe since going vegan! Thank you!!!!

What can I say? These are amazing. I used a can of diced anaheim chiles but no other substitutions. I used Trader Joes chickenless chicken strips for the first time and they were excellent. I used a canned green sauce and omited the chipotle since I was serving a few who don't like hot things that much. This was also my first time using Vegan Gourmet soy cheese "cheddar-flavor", which I sprinkled on top of the pan of enchiladas. My husband and I loved them, and then, knowing that my DD was sick and not able to cook for her brother and her boyfriend, I had DH take what we didn't eat up to their house. DD called later and said they'd eaten them all and that they were amazed that they were vegan. I will definitely make these again soon, even though they are a bit labor intensive, they are worth it.

This is really good but beware...I did not read the instructions well and added an entire can of Chipotle in Adobo...tasty but painful.
