  • 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes (with juices) preferably fire-roasted tomatoes ( or tomato puree)
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon  apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic ( or 2 garlic cloves)

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400 F
  • Make the enchilada sauce, place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Saute leeks, then carrots, then hearty veg, add the beans.
  • Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish. Pour 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce and spreading around so the bottom of the pan is nicely coated.
  • Assemble your Enchiladas: Place 1/2 cup filling down the center of the tortilla add 2-3 tablespoons grated cheese over top and wrap it up tightly. Place enchilada seam side down over the sauce. Repeat with the remaining 7 tortillas nestling them side by side. Pour the remaining Enchilada Sauce over the enchiladas, leaving the edges exposed if you like (for crispy edges). Sprinkle with remaining cup of cheese.
