Instructions:

1. Prepare all the ingredients: Dice the onion, garlic, capsicum, tomatoes.

2. To make the sauce: In a large pot, heat the oil, add capsicum and tomatoes and sauté for 5 min. Add tomato paste, passata, vegetable stock, chipotle sauce and spices. Feel free to add chili powder at this point if you want it spicy. Bring to simmer and cook for 15 min.

3. In the meantime, in a large frying pan, heat the oil, add onion and garlic and sauté on medium heat for 3 min. Add plant-based mince and sauté for about 5 min, stirring occasionally. Add black beans, vegetable stock and spices. Simmer for another 5 min. Stir in the chopped coriander.

4. Preheat the oven to 170’C.

5. Blend the sauce with a hand blender – I like to leave it quite chunky, but you can blend it until smooth.

6. Smear about ¼ cup of the sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.

7. Place the mince beans filling almost at the end of a tortilla. Roll up then place in the baking dish, seam side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

8. Pour the sauce over the enchiladas, top with grated plant-based cheese, and bake for 15 minutes. Top with fresh coriander.

9. Serve by itself or with some mashed avocado/plant-based sour cream.

10. Enjoy!
