Homemade Enchiladas

Published on March 27, 2015 By Emily. Updated on August 8, 2020

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I haven’t made enchiladas in a long time, and I’ve never really shared a good recipe on this blog, so when Brian suggested that I make them this week, it seemed only fair that I share them with you.  Enchiladas are a funny thing to post about; it isn’t as though there aren’t other recipes out there.  I won’t even claim that these enchiladas are the most amazing.  But they are really easy, homemade and use ingredients I almost always have on hand.  I also suspect I haven’t made this recipe the same way twice.  You can easily add meat, tofu, spices or vegetables to this recipe and, at different times, I have.  Last, but not least, this recipe makes 8 enchiladas, which means we always get two meals out of a batch.  I would love to hear your favorite enchilada additions — share them in the comments!

Homemade Vegetarian Enchiladas

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 30 mins
Cook Time 20 mins
Servings 8 enchiladas

Ingredients
  

For the Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon oregano Mexican if you have it
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 16 ounces canned tomato puree
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  • salt to taste

For the Filling

  • vegetable oil
  • 2 15.5 ounce cans of beans (I like pinto + black), drained and rinsed
  • 1 small onion diced
  • spices to taste chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne, etc
  • optional: chicken beef, tofu, vegetables -- addition of ingredients may result in more filling than can fit into 8 tortillas

Also

  • 8 whole wheat tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Make the sauce: Combine the sauce ingredients in a small sauce pan and stir to combine. Cook on medium heat until the sauce is warmed through. Set aside.
  • Make the filling: Heat a tablespoon of oil in the a skillet over medium heat. Add the beans, diced onion and spices (and any other filling ingredients you may be using). Cook until the onions are soft and any other ingredients are done to your liking.
  • Create the enchiladas: Coat the bottom of a baking pan (I use a glass 9x13" Pyrex) with some of the enchilada sauce. Fill and roll the tortillas one at a time, using about 1/2 a cup of filling. Arrange the enchiladas in the pan as you go.
  • Pour the remainder of the enchilada sauce over the tortillas in the pan. Spread with a spoon if necessary. Sprinkle with cheese.
  • Bake the enchiladas in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Enjoy!

It was no surprise that Public was close to full on a Wednesday night - everything was so good.

It’s hard to believe that 2022 is basically behind us. Though overall this year found me getting back to the person I want to be (post-babies and “post”-pandemic), I did not try nearly as many new recipes this year as I used to. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I’d made note of any new-to-me recipes I wanted to share in this post. This year’s list is short, but delicious. It includes recipes from @budgetbytes, @smittenkitchen and @howsweeteats.

@coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one @coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one of the highlights of all my return trips to Boothbay and their annual Gardens Aglow event continues to impress. It was great to be back to walking the gardens instead of the pandemic drive through and there seemed to be more lights than ever.  I'm already looking forward to next year.

Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but t Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but this year we've had weather that has also been outstanding. The past 2 weekends have included time at Jaeschke Orchards, the Greylock Glen, and the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail as well as stopping to photograph any random foliage I see. 
Check out the last slide for video of some feathered friends we saw on a walk.

@freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favo @freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favorite events each year, and it doesn't hurt that it's just minutes away from home. Enjoying the festival with my kids is definitely a different experience than without, but it's still a good time. The weather was especially cooperative today which was great for all the laps I did around the @massmoca campus pushing a stroller. I'm already looking forward to next year.
