The 'Oh She Glows' blog recently published a recipe for vegan enchiladas made entirely from plant-based ingredients. For consumers who are vegan or simply trying to cut down on their meat consumption, this recipe provides a delicious alternative to a classic Mexican dish.
The indulgent vegan enchiladas are comprised of tortilla's filled with a mixture of sweet potatoes, black beans, sundried tomatoes and other healthy vegetables. The tortillas are then covered in a homemade enchilada sauce that is free from nuts, soy and refined sugar. Once baked, the enchiladas are drizzled with a decadent cashew cream sauce that is bursting with hints of garlic, lime and cilantro. The end result is an indulgent, meat-free dish that is both hearty and flavorful.
The recipe provides the perfect entree for those who might be hosting a meat-free Super Bowl party this weekend.
