Enchilada Filling

  1. Pour any type of lentils into a pot with about 3 times as much water as lentils. Season with chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Cook until all the water is absorbed.
  2. In another pan, sautee mushrooms and any type of greenĀ you have on hand like kale or spinach.
  3. Scoop some of the veggies and some of the lentils into a flour or corn tortilla and roll them up.

Assembly

  1. Put down enough sauce to cover the bottom of your baking dish.
  2. Arrange the tortillas so they are all lined up next to each other.
  3. Pour more sauce over the top of them.
  4. Bake in the oven at 350F for 20 minutes.
  5. Serve with vegan sour cream or guacamole on top!
