Description

Delicious plant-based enchiladas filled with creamy mashed potatoes, zesty green chili sauce, black beans, and corn.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large potatoes (About 1.5 to 2 pounds)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion (diced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 can black beans (15 oz, rinsed and drained)
  • 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 can green chili enchilada sauce (10 oz)
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)
  • Fresh cilantro (for garnish, optional)
  • Avocado (for serving, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into cubes. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and mash the potatoes.
  3. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
  4. Add the black beans, corn, mashed potatoes, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Mix well and heat through for about 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
  5. Spread a thin layer of green chili enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
  6. Take a corn tortilla, place a generous amount of the potato mixture in the center, and roll it up tightly. Place the rolled tortilla seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  7. Pour the remaining green chili enchilada sauce over the top. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until heated through and slightly bubbly. Remove the foil in the last 5 minutes for a touch of crispness.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve garnished with fresh cilantro and avocado, if desired.

Notes

Use starchy potatoes like Russets for a fluffier filling. Warm the tortillas before rolling to avoid tearing.
