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!

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.

#sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately #sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately has definitely had me looking to expand the snack options in my pantry.  I jumped at the chance to try these @sunmaid Sour Raisins  and they immediately became one of my daughter's favorite snacks. She likes them because they're reminiscent of candy, I like them because they're technically fruit and they come prepackaged for easy snacking and taking on the go. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they are!

This weekend's weather was amazing and my family e This weekend's weather was amazing and my family embarked on the only way to kick off fall: we went apple picking at Jaeschke Orchards in Adams.  The parking lot was full, but out in the orchard we hardly came across any other groups.  The trees were heavy with apples and we quickly filled our bag. Looking forward to apples for snacks, pie, crisp and turnovers in the coming weeks.
