Instructions
- Rinse and cook quinoa according to package directions.*
- Meanwhile, make the enchilada sauce. Set aside.
- Dice the avocado and slice green onions.
- In a large bowl, add black beans (rinsed and drained), corn (thawed if frozen), green onions, cumin, and lightly sautéed spinach if using. Add cooked quinoa and stir. Add avocado and lightly toss to combine.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a 9×13-inch baking dish, pour a small amount of sauce to coat the bottom.
- Evenly distribute the black bean/quinoa mixture down the center of each tortilla, roll up, and place seam side down in the dish. Pour remaining sauce over the enchiladas.
- Bake for about 25 minutes. Garnish with more fresh cilantro, green onions, or sprinkle with nutritional yeast before serving if desired.
Notes
- *To cook quinoa: Place 1/2 cup quinoa (rinsed + drained) in a small saucepan with 1 cup water or broth. Bring to a light boil over medium-high heat. Then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- For gluten-free: Use GF flour and GF tortillas. (I use Bob's Red Mill gluten-free all-purpose flour.)
- Make it cheesy: Add vegan cheese shreds to the filling, or on top of the enchiladas during the last 10 minutes of bake time.
- Make it spicy: Add cayenne pepper, chipotle in adobo sauce, jalapeno, or medium diced green chiles. Or simply top with hot sauce to taste.
