Ingredients

  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups cooked black beans
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups tomato sauce
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/4 cup diced green onions
  • 1/4 cup vegan cheese, shredded

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the bell peppers, corn, black beans, jalapeno pepper, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. In a separate saucepan, combine the tomato sauce and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes.
  5. Spread a thin layer of the tomato sauce mixture on the bottom of a baking dish.
  6. Warm the corn tortillas in the oven or microwave until pliable.
  7. Place about 1/4 cup of the vegetable filling onto each tortilla and roll it up tightly. Place the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in the baking dish.
  8. Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the enchiladas, making sure to cover them completely.
  9. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  10. Remove the foil and sprinkle the enchiladas with vegan cheese. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Garnish with chopped cilantro, sliced black olives, and diced green onions before serving.
