VEG. WEST COAST ENCHILADAS

2 cans organic refried black beans
3 ripe avocadoes, mashed
2 ripe tomatoes, diced
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 red or yellow bell pepper, diced
2 cups enchilada sauce or 1 1/2cups salsa mixed with 1/2 cup water
1/2 cup cashews, chopped
1 1/2 cups shredded vegan cheddar cheese
12 organic yellow corn tortillas

Directions:

1.Preheat oven to 400F.

2.Heat black beans slightly on stove, it makes them easier to work with.

3.Mash avocadoes in med. bowl, add diced tomatoes, garlic, cilantro, bell pepper.

4.Heat 1 cup enchilada sauce (or half the salsa/water mixture) in a saucepan. Soak each tortilla just until soft.

5.Layer each tortilla with 2 tablespoons each of beans and avocado mixture. Sprinkle with cashews and vegan cheese.

6.Assemble enchiladas into 2 9x11 baking dishes.(Each will hold 6 enchiladas). Pour remaining sauce over top. Sprinkle with extra vegan cheese if you like. (I do!)

7.Bake for about 20 minutes, or until tops are slightly browned.

Enjoy! These are great for a dinner party and awesome as leftovers the next day!!

These are also great if you like to add extra chopped cashews on top during baking. YUM!!

Serves: 12 enchiladas

Preparation time: 15 min. assembling and 20 min. baking
