1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups water
1/4 cup vegan margarine
1 teaspoon mustard
2 (10-ounce) cans enchilada sauce

1 (15-ounce) can olives, drained and chopped

1/2 cup salsa (optional)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
10 tortillas
1. "Cheese" Sauce: In medium-large saucepan, combine flour, nutritional yeast, salt and garlic powder. Whisk in water water. Heat on medium heat until bubbling and thick. Remove from heat and add margarine and mustard. Set aside 1/2 cup of the cheese sauce in separate container.

5. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until brown for 30 to 45 minutes.
SO HOW'D IT GO?
Yumy! I recommend it to anyone, try it! ;)b
I was so nervous about this turning out okay. I found the recipe to be sort of confusing when it came to the sauces. Fortunately, it ended up all right. I made it a casserole since I'm already a cooking newbie. My sauce didn't really thicken.. but it was also my first time using nooch so I just kind of winged it. I think because of the sauce being so liquidy, it made the bottom layers of tortillas kind of soggy. Still good though. I don't really think this tastes anything like enchiladas.. maybe it's because I've never had canned enchilada sauce before. I tasted some of it plain and it seemed really tomato-y. I probably won't make this again, or at least in this variation, but I'm definitely glad I gave it a shot and will have lots of leftovers.
These were soooooo yummy! :)>>> I made them earlier this week and had enough filling to make and freeze a second batch! I added diced jalapenos and I used green enchilada sauce & flour tortillas instead of the traditional red sauce and corn tortillas. I am looking forward to making these again and again. Maybe next time I will add black olives and vegan sourcream to the mix. THANKS A MILLION for this recipe! Its a KEEPER! ;)b ;)b
can't say that i cared for the cheez sauce (personal preference) but the rest of the enchiladas were delish. i made them with black bean/chile/corn. never thought about putting the cilantro/olives inside, but they were were great!
Yummy and cheesy - - this took me back - - it was even good the day after (and the day after that!). I like the fact that it tastes SOOOO much like real enchiladas that you would get at an authentic place - - clearly, I couldn't get enough! :)
These are really good... But I don't make as many :P yum!
This is a great recipe. I did a couple of things differently.
First, I always put my "nooch" cheese sauce ingredients in the blender with the water first to mix everything smooth before I simmer it in a pan.
I added a sweet red bell pepper in the blender with it and it made a really nice orange color as well as a nice sweet pepper flavor to the cheese.
I also mixed in a little leftover refried beans in with the black beans to thicken the filler.
It was really wonderful AND it fed my household of roommates and my teenagers and their friends! This is not an easy feat ;-)
I even wanted to try to take a photo of it but the locust invasion of the crew here made that impossible.
I took it out of the oven at 7:30 and by 8:00 it was all nom nom'd up!
My fussy 14 yr old daughter just told me she can see why it is one of the more popular recipes on here. :-)
Tasted great! The "cheese" sauce was surprisingly good. I made a few changes: 2 cans of refried beans and one can of drained spinach. After adding the 1/4 enchilada sauce to the bottom of the casserole dish, I poured the rest into the bean/ onion/ etc mixture. I added a tiny can of green chilies to the bean/ onion/ etc mixture. I upped the amount of cilantro to 1/3 cup.
I highly, highly, highly recommend making these with CORN tortillas. I used flour, and they became soggy dough. Meh! :'(
I still give this recipe 5 stars. It was pretty fast, not very messy and quite easy to make-- and, it makes a lot!
Yay!
Why the hell did I wait so long to try this recipe? AMAZING times infinity!
Only changes:
- Added 2 T white miso to the "cheese sauce" ... DO IT
- White beans instead of white kidney
- Green onions for garnish
USE FLOUR TORTILLAS!
I made just the cheesy sauce, for burritos. It was delicious! I added cumin, omitted the margarine and subbed tapioca flour instead of wheat. Nice and simple to make. I definitely need to make the full recipe, it looks great!
