Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with cooking spray.
-
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion until translucent, then add in the minced garlic and bell pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
-
Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet and season with cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to incorporate the spices.
-
Pour in the can of diced tomatoes, black beans, and corn kernels. Mix everything together and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
-
Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable. Fill each tortilla with a generous scoop of the tofu and vegetable mixture, then roll it up and place it seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
-
Once all the tortillas are filled and arranged in the dish, pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top, making sure to coat each one.
-
Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the enchiladas, covering them completely.
-
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to lightly brown the cheese.
-
Serve the hot and cheesy tofu enchiladas garnished with fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream or vegan yogurt, if desired.
