Beyond Beef Enchiladas (V)

Source: Impossible (Beyond's competitor, oops) | Serves: 4 | Time: 1 hr

Changes: replaced half the cheese with sweet potato nacho cheese

Ingredients

1/2 cup yellow onion, diced small

3/4 cup red bell pepper, diced small

1 tbsp garlic, minced

3/4 tbsp ground cumin

2 1/2 cups prepared enchilada sauce (I used red)

2 cups plant-based monterey jack cheese, shredded

2 cups sweet potato nacho cheese

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

3/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

10-12 flour tortillas, 6-8”

2 tbsp neutral cooking oil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Once pot is hot, add half of the oil. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add onion and red bell pepper. Cook until onion is translucent and peppers are starting to become tender for about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cumin. Cook until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove vegetable mixture and set aside. Do not clean the pot.

Add the remaining oil to the pot. Once the oil is hot, add Beyond Beef by crumbling into the pot and allowing pieces to sear and brown on one side. Once nicely browned, flip all pieces, breaking into smaller dime size pieces and continue cooking until fully cooked through.

Once meat is cooked, add reserved vegetables, salt, pepper, and 1 cup of enchilada sauce. Bring to a simmer and continue simmering for 5 minutes. Taste for seasoning. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

Add 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce to the bottom of a medium baking dish and set aside.

In a bowl, combine sweet potato cheese with 1/2 cup cilantro and add the mixture to the cooled meat and sauce.

To assemble, portion ½ cup of the meat mixture into each tortilla and roll up. Lay in the bottom of the baking dish with the seam side down. Continue until all mixture has been used.

Top the rolled tortillas with the remaining enchilada sauce then shredded cheese. Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melty and golden brown and sauce is bubbling. Garnish with remaining cilantro.
