Step-by-Step Instructions
- Rinse 1 cup of dry lentils under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine lentils with 3 cups of vegetable broth, boil, then simmer for 20 minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes off the heat.
- In a small saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add spice mix and 2 tablespoons of gluten-free flour, stirring for 1-2 minutes. Whisk in 2 cups of tomato sauce, simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
- In a large skillet, heat another tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté 1 chopped onion and 3 minced garlic cloves for 5 minutes. Add 1 cup of diced bell peppers, 1 grated carrot, and 1 diced tomato, cooking until vegetables are tender.
- In a food processor, combine sautéed vegetables, cooked lentils, ½ cup rolled oats, ¼ cup sunflower seeds, and 2 tablespoons chia seeds. Pulse until well mixed but slightly chunky.
- Preheat your oven to 390°F (200°C). Prepare a greased baking dish for the enchiladas.
- Take a gluten-free tortilla, place about ½ cup of the lentil filling in the center, roll tightly, and place seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining filling.
- Pour the enchilada sauce over the assembled enchiladas, ensuring each tortilla is coated, and sprinkle vegan cheese on top.
- Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the sauce bubbles and cheese begins to brown.
- After 15 minutes, remove enchiladas, add more cheese if desired, and return to oven for another 10-15 minutes until melted and bubbly.
- Allow the enchiladas to rest for a few minutes before serving, garnished with fresh cilantro or vegan sour cream.
