~Vegan Enchilada's~

I have yet to make these enchiladas yet but heard they're really good....Maybe I can convince hubby to make since it's his night to cook (I like saving the really complicated meals for him ;)...

Enjoy beauties~



Enchiladas

INGREDIENTS:
1 package of tempeh

1 can diced tomatoes with green chiles, drained

1 packet taco seasoning
1/2 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 can of beans of your choice (vegetarian refried beans are good)
Flour tortillas

Nutritional yeast to garnish (optional)

1 jar of your favorite tomato sauce



STEPS:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large sauté pan, sauté the onion and garlic with a little olive oil until translucent.

Add the can of tomatoes and crumble in the tempeh.

Mix in the taco seasoning and let it all incorporate for about 5-10 minutes.

In a separate sauce pan, let your beans heat up.

Once the beans are hot and the tempeh mixture is settled, start assembling your tortillas.

Spread out the beans first on the tortilla, and then add the tempeh mixture on top.

Roll it up, and place in a casserole dish.

Repeat.
Pour the tomato sauce over the enchiladas (you don’t need the whole jar, just enough to cover them evenly)
.
Put the dish in the oven for about 15-20 minutes.



Top w/ vegan cheese ("daiya" or "follow your heart") and/or sour cream ("tofutti") on top.

In the Spirit of Independence....

"Never counted in the "costs" of war are the dead birds, the charred animals, the murdered fish, incinerated insects, poisoned water sources, destroyed vegetation. Rarely mentioned is the arrogance of the human race towards other living things with which it shares this planet. All these are forgotten in the fight for markets and ideologies. This arrogance will probably be the ultimate undoing of the human species". 

~T.D. Allman, quoted in War Talk, by Arundhati Roy
