Vegetarian Enchiladas

Vegetarian Enchiladas

These delicious, easy enchiladas are the perfect solution for Meatless Monday or a family party. I used the enchilada sauce recipe from my Chicken Enchiladas, but you could easily use a good, gluten free, jarred sauce as well.

  • Add 1/2 of the cheese and stir to combine
  • Spread a cup or so of the enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x12 pan
  • Warm the tortillas in the oven for a few minutes and then fill with the vegetables
  • Place the enchiladas, seam side down, in the pan (feel free to squish them in a bit) and cover with the remaining enchilada sauce
  • Sprinkle the remainder of the cheese over the top and bake until the filling is bubbling and the cheese is melted - 30-40 minutes
  • Serve with a dollop of sour cream, a few leaves of cilantro and enjoy!
