Makes 6-10 Adult Size Servings

Ingredients

• 1 medium yellow onion chopped
• 3 Cloves Garlic Minced
• 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 8oz can of Tomato Paste
• 1 Package of Tofu Crumbles
• 2 Tbsp Cumin
• 2 Tbsp Chili Powder
• 1 Tsp Salt
• 2 teaspoons fresh black pepper
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• ½ Lemon Squeezed
• 1 16-ounce can crushed tomatoes
• 2 10oz cans enchilada sauce
• 1 pack of flour or wheat tortillas
• 1 pair of latex or cooking gloves

Method

1. In a Skillet, cook chopped onion and minced garlic on med high heat until onions begin to soften. Stir in tomato paste and tofu crumbles. Add cumin, chili powder salt pepper and juice of ½ a lemon freshly squeezed. Cook until hot. Set your crumble mix to the side. (Note… your tofu crumbles do not need to be cooked only heated. This is why we put them in toward the end of cooking. You can add frozen crumbles to the mix; just make sure they heat through.)
2. For this part of the process, it is advisable to use a pair of latex gloves..
3. Place tortillas on a plate. Pour enchilada sauce in a dish or large bowl. Prepare your baking dish with non stick spray and set it nearby. Move Crumble Mix nearby and set up your assembly line.
4. Dip an individual tortilla in the enchilada sauce then move it to a plate. Place 1-2 tbsp of the crumble mix in the tortilla and roll into an enchilada. Place in your baking dish.
5. Repeat these steps until your baking dish is full or your ingredients run out. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over enchiladas.
6. Preheat oven to 350° F with rack in middle.
7. Place baking dish with enchiladas in the oven and bake for 12-18 minutes or until bubbling hot.
8. Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes before serving.

This is a repeat recipe in my home. I have cooked this for non vegetarian friends and family and they all love it. I have passed the recipe along to them and now I have decided to share it with the world.

Variations on the recipe might include the following…

• 1 small can of sliced olives put olives in the enchilada before rolling. Can also be sprinkled on top.
• 1-2 medium avocados sliced thin also put in before rolling enchiladas. Can also be diced and sprinkled on top.

Mexican Cheeses…. Put in each enchilada, on top, or both!

You can experiment and vary the recipe but sticking with the basics makes a great enchilada each time!
