Oil Free Vegan Enchilada Sauce

flour (WFPB compliant flour

chili powder (see notes)

onion powder

oregano

cumin

garlic powder

smoked paprika

cayenne (optional)

cinnamon (optional)

tomato paste ((low sodium))

vegetable broth (see notes)

salt

Mix the dry ingredients (flour and spices) in a small bowl, stir to combine, and set aside.

Heat a medium sauce pan over medium heat, and add the tomato paste. Stir to heat through, about 30 seconds.

Add the flour and spices mixture, and stir well to combine and heat through, about 1 minute.

When the mixture in the pan is hot and bubbling, begin adding the veggie broth a little (about 1/2 cup) at a time, whisking vigorously to break down any lumps. When the sauce is hot and bubbling, add more veggie broth and whisk. Repeat this step until all of the broth has been added to the pan.

Cover and simmer on low heat for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to marry.

Make your own fresh corn tortillas, or use a pack of store-bought tortillas. Set aside for later.

Corn tortillas

Bring a pot of water to boil. Add in vegetable stock powder, a pinch of salt, and the dehydrated jackfruit. Let it simmer for 20-30 minutes, or leave it to soak overnight in room temperature water.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Add in diced onion and saut&eacute; for 2-3 minutes, or until translucent. Add in the minced garlic for another 1-2 minutes. Lastly, add in drained jackfruit and tamari and continue cooking until the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.

Jackfruit

Stem and seed the chiles with kitchen shears, then toast them in a dry skillet over medium for 30-60 seconds per side. Bring a pot of water to boil and add them in. Turn the heat off and let them rehydrate for ~15 minutes until soft and pliable.

Add the tomatoes and onions to another pot of water and simmer them for 10-12 minutes, or until softened. Drain and transfer the tomatoes and onions to a blender with the garlic cloves, vegetable broth, Mexican oregano, and salt. Blend on high until smooth.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high. Slowly pour the salsa in and bring it to a low boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring frequently.

Enchilada Sauce

Heat 5-6 tablespoons of neutral oil in a pan over medium-high. Once hot, fry each tortilla for about 10-15 seconds per side. the tortillas shouldn&#39;t be too crispy since you still want to be able to roll them.

Transfer the fried tortillas to a paper towel-lined plate to get rid of the excess oil. Dip each one in the enchilada sauce so both sides are well covered.

On a flat surface, add a scoop of shredded jackfruit and some queso fresco to the middle of your tortilla. Using your hands, tightly roll it and transfer it to a serving dish. Continue this process with the rest of the tortillas.

Serve the enchiladas while warm with extra sauce, crumbled queso fresco or cotija cheese, fresh onions, lettuce, and sliced radishes. Happy eating!
