Instructions

  1. Prepare all the ingredients: Dice the onion, chop the tomato, slice the capsicums, and mince the garlic. Soak the cashews.

  2. To make the sauce: In a large pot, heat the oil to medium, add red onion and garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add bell pepper flakes and black beans. Mix well and sauté for 3 more minutes.

  3. Add capsicum, tomato and vegetable stock. Stir well and simmer for about 15 minutes.

  4. In the meantime, make the sauce: in a medium saucepan, heat the oil to medium. Add tomato paste and spices. Fry for 3 minutes – until it darkens and becomes fragrant. Add diced tomatoes and passata. Bring to boil and simmer on medium heat for 10 more minutes – until it has thickened.

  5. Make cashew sauce: in a food processor, place all the ingredients for the cashew sauce and blend until very smooth, this should take a few minutes. Preheat the oven to 170’C.

  6. In an oven dish, spread ¼ cup of the enchilada sauce. Place the 1st tortilla wrap. Place ¼ of the filling and cover with a tortilla wrap. Repeat with the remaining filling and wraps.

  7. Pour enchilada sauce and cashew sauce on top and bake for 25 minutes.

  8. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh coriander.
