Vegan Black Bean and Spinach Enchiladas- with blue corn tortillas!

I have no picture of these yet because we ate them before I could nag Don to take the picture!  I found a free site for food pix so this isn’t mine but it kind of looks like them.




Great Tip!!  I found a new soy cheese  company that I really love called Daiya!  Here’s their website:
What I love about this cheese is the way it melts! 



Ingredients:
1 can red Colorado Chili Sauce by Las Palmas or follow instructions for 2 pkgs. Simple Organic Sauce Mix pictured below.  For this product 16 oz. of tomato sauce is also needed.






½ medium onion
2 tbsp grape seed oil
3 cups vegan cheese
10 oz. pkg organic frozen chopped spinach
18-24 blue corn tortillas  (I find them at Trader Joe’s but if not available yellow or white corn tortillas are fine)
13 oz. can organic black beans, drained


Instructions:
Sauté onion, spinach, black beans in oil until moisture is mostly absorbed.  Add 1 cup vegan cheese and ½ cup enchilada sauce to spinach/black bean mixture.  Set aside. Heat tortillas until the texture is soft and rubbery in microwave oven- about 2-3 minutes.  Assemble enchiladas in a medium casserole dish by spooning one tablespoon of spinach/black bean mixture at one end of each tortilla and rolling into a cylinder.   After 1st layer is completed, pour a cup of enchilada sauce and 1 cup of vegan cheese over 1st layer.  Repeat with 2nd layer of enchiladas.  Cover and cook at 350 for 45 minutes.

TRADER JOE’S ROCKS!
Been looking for these for years!
