This epic meal is beyond filling & cheap while having a million different flavors to write home about. There’s a couple moving parts to this but I wouldn’t have made this had it been within 10 feet of complex. This is easy. While there is small amounts of fat a person could make this fat free. I’m pretty sure a fat free version would be 100% the same flavors as this. I’m not sure why I didn’t go nuts with the dairy free cheese sauce for the picture. Just know this is hella chzy. This recipe makes a life time supply of cheese & salsa. Thank your future self.
Vegan Cheese Sauce
- Boil or Steam 2 cups of peeled potatoes & 1 cup carrots
- Put cooked veggies in blender with 1/2 cup of water. Blend!
- Add 1-2 ts salt, 1/4 ts garlic powder. 1/4 ts onion powder & 1 TB citrus juice (I just used a whole lime)
- Add either 3 TB of oil OR water. Blend!
- Add 1/2 cup nutritional flakes. Blend! Add tiny amounts of water if it’s too thick to blend.
Enchilada Sauce
- 2 TB of each of the follow: chili powder, flour, oil. Put all of those in a pot on the stove. (i’m sure cornstarch would work)
- While those things are heating add whatever spices to the mix (cumin, basil, salt, etc)
- Add small can of tomato paste or tomato sauce
- Mix with 1-2 cups of water, Whisk til thickens
Spicy Mango Habanero Salsa
- Chop a HUGE mango, put half in the blender and diced up the other half in a bowl
- Dice tomatoes, cilantro & onion and put those in the bowl with mango
- Blend the chopped mango with lime juice, cilantro & habanero
- Pour the blended half with the diced half to have a chunky salsa, no salt needed
Build Your Enchilada
- Lay out tortillas (flour, corn or gluten free)
- Spread beans inside tortilla like you’re making a burrito
- You could also add: rice, olives, grilled veggies/mushrooms, jalapeno, vegan cheese or salsa, etc)
- Roll closed, lay seem down then pour cheese & enchilada sauce on top
- Bake 375-400 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Top with salsa (and maybe more cheese. ENJOY

[…] was insanely good. At first I was disappointed that I didn’t make my own enchilada sauce (recipe here). Homemade sauce is cheap and easy to make. The trader joes sauce I used a bit thinner than […]
This was amazing! Thank you for the receipe!!
Yay! Glad you tried it. Very much an amazing recipe. I need to make this again soon <3
I haven’t had enchiladas since before I went vegan. I made these, and OMG, they were delicious. I have really upped my cooking game because of your YouTube channel.
wow! that’s awesome. Very glad good stuff is coming out of your kitchen 🙂
Just made these without the cheese sauce because I’m just one person and didn’t want it to go to waste lol. Other than that though they were amazing! I love the simplicity of it. I started eating vegan about 2 months ago and I’m still trying to figure out what recipes I like and don’t. A lot of trial and error! This is a keeper though. I had been craving enchiladas and this was perfect. Next time I make it I’ll try the cheese sauce. Thank you for the recipe.
I love bean enchiladas!
If you like enchilada sauce then this might be for you. I don’t know why it occurred to me to try this but if you mix whole beans with enchilada sauce (and chipotle in a adobo sauce) then it flavors up the beans. I think whole beans are good but they always seem lacking. Once mixed with sauce they’re out of this world (according to me) 🙂
