Instructions

Make Enchilada Stuffing

  • Sautee onions and garlic in a large skillet until onions turn soft and brown.
  • Keeping a low and steady heat, add chopped mushrooms and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add lentils to the pan and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Stir in can of corn, continuing to cook over low heat.
  • Add minced fresh chilis to the onions and garlic. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add taco seasoning
  • Add kale
  • Stir in soy sauce.

Make Enchiladas

  • Lay a tortilla down flat and add a line of stuffing. Then roll tortilla up into an enchilada and place in an oven safe dish.
  • Repeat until all stuffing is gone (should make about 8 enchiladas).
  • Pour salsa over the tortillas

Notes

As you can see above, my enchilada pan only has room for 5 enchiladas! Because of that, I had some extra stuffing. I took that stuffing and made burritos. After stuffing them, I laid them in a hot pan and cooked the outside of the tortillas, which became super crunchy and delicious! I actually liked the burritos much more than the enchiladas! I'll do another write-up for the burrito recipe, but for now I suggest that you turn a couple tortillas into burritos and see how you like them!
