Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Filling
- 2 cups white rotisserie chicken, skin removed and shredded
- 1 cup black beans, well drained
- 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
Sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 cup green chilies, diced
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- Pinch of salt
Assembly
- 8 soft flour or corn tortillas
- Extra 1/2 cup plant-based cheese, shredded (for topping)
Garnishes (optional)
- Fresh cilantro, chopped
- Sliced avocado
- Plant-based sour cream
- Diced tomatoes
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a pan, heat olive oil and sauté minced garlic and diced onion until soft and fragrant. Add green chilies, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), and a pinch of salt. Stir in the natural gelling agent and simmer gently until the sauce thickens and develops a rich, tangy flavor.
- Shred the Chicken: Remove the skin from the white rotisserie chicken and shred the meat into bite-sized pieces using two forks or your hands, ensuring tender, juicy chicken for the filling.
- Combine Chicken with Sauce and Beans: In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the drained black beans and about half of the prepared sauce. Add a generous handful of shredded plant-based cheese and toss to combine all flavors uniformly.
- Assemble the Enchiladas: Warm the tortillas until pliable. Spoon a hearty portion of the chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla, then roll tightly and place seam-side down in a lightly greased baking dish, packing them closely together.
- Bake Until Bubbly: Pour the remaining sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle the remaining plant-based cheese on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes until the cheese melts and the sauce is bubbling.
Notes
- Use warm tortillas to prevent cracking during rolling and keep enchiladas neat.
- Drain beans thoroughly to avoid soggy filling.
- Adjust chili amounts in the sauce to customize spice level according to preference.
- Allow assembled enchiladas to rest for 10 minutes before baking for flavors to meld.
- Try a mix of shredded and sliced plant-based cheeses for added texture contrast.
