Enchilladas



Delicious Delicious
I was intrigued by this soy chorizo which is a new product at Trader Joe's that came out about a month ago. I'm typically wary of "fake meat", but this was pretty popular with Tom and I admit it is good. I also think these would be great with just a veggies and black bean filling or with lentils. It is super cheap and easy to make and very satisfying as comfort food. If you don't like the refried beans used below just add your favorite beans to the filling.

Filling:
1 package soy chorizo
1 clove garlic
1/2 small can roasted green chilles spicy or mild
1/2 can diced tomatoes and jalepenos or chilles
2 or 3 diced scallions
handful chopped fresh cilantro
1 can vegan refried black beans (Amy's are sooooo good)
Flour or corn tortillas

Sauce:
1/2 small can roasted green chilles spicy or mild
1/2 can diced tomatoes and jalepenos or chilles
1 jar hot taco sauce
1 pinch cumin, peprika, and chille pepper or whatever spices you like
1 pinch cinnamon

Combine all sauce ingredients and let thicken on medium heat in a saucepan while making the filling.

Heat skillet and warm chorizo (unwrap chorizo from its plastic package). Add clove of crushed garlic. Add chilles and tomatoes and jalenpenos. Once warmed through add cilantro and scallions. Spread each tortilla with a thin layer of refried beans and add 3 or 4 tablespoons of chorizo fillng. Roll up and place seem-side down in a baking dish. Pour sauce on top and bake for 30 min at 350.

Prep: 15min
Cook: 30min
