INSTRUCTIONS

  1. PREHEAT: Turn oven on to preheat to 400.

  2. BLEND: Combine all the ingredients for the enchilada sauce in a blender and blend until smooth.

  3. COOK: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat, add diced pepper and onion and cook until soft. Add the soy chorizo and black beans, continue cooking until chorizo starts to brown.

  4. ASSEMBLE: Pour a layer of enchilada sauce in your baking dish (a little less than half the sauce). Place the filling along the center of a tortilla and roll, place seam side down in baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Top with the remaining sauce and sprinkle with shredded cheese.

  5. BAKE: Put baking dish in the oven to bake for about 25 minutes, so sauce thickens, cheese melts and edges of the tortillas are a little browned.

  6. MIX: While the enchiladas are the in oven, combine the yogurt sauce ingredients in a bowl.

  7. ENJOY: Allow enchiladas to cool for a few minutes before eating, serve with a dollop of yogurt sauce on top and chopped cilantro.

NOTES:

Depending on the size of your tortillas, you may have extra filling left over. It can make for a great lunch served over rice or a baked sweet potato.
