Grilled Cauliflower and Black Bean Enchiladas
Ingredients:
– 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
– 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 red bell pepper, diced
– 1 small red onion, diced
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
– 8-10 flour tortillas
– 2 cups of enchilada sauce
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish
– Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions:
1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the cauliflower florets in a mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, and paprika. Toss to coat the cauliflower evenly.
2. Grill the seasoned cauliflower on the preheated grill until tender and slightly charred, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from the grill and set aside.
3. In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper, red onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add the grilled cauliflower and black beans to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour a small amount of enchilada sauce into the bottom of a baking dish.
6. Take a flour tortilla and spoon some of the cauliflower and black bean mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Roll it up tightly and place it seam side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
7. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, making sure they are all evenly coated. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the enchiladas.
8. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown.
10. Garnish the enchiladas with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
