Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Rinse 1 cup of dry lentils under cold water until clear. Combine with 2.5 cups vegetable broth in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil, then simmer covered for 20 minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes.
- Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add spices and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in 1 tbsp of flour and add 2.5 cups tomato sauce, simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
- In a separate skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil. Sauté 1 large chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add 2 small diced bell peppers, 1 grated carrot, and 1 chopped tomato. Cook for 5-7 minutes until soft.
- In a food processor, combine 1.33 cups rolled oats, 0.5 cup sunflower seeds, and 2 tbsp ground chia seeds. Pulse until finely ground. Add sautéed veggies and 3 heaped tbsp tomato paste, blend until cohesive.
- Combine lentils with the blended veggie mixture in the processor. Blend until smooth, adjusting with more ground oats or vegetable broth if too thick.
- Preheat oven to 390°F (200°C).
- Lay out tortillas. Scoop 2 heaped tbsp of filling onto each and roll tightly, placing seam side down in a greased baking dish.
- Pour enchilada sauce generously over assembled enchiladas, covering them fully.
- Bake uncovered for 15 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with vegan cheese and bake for another 10-15 minutes until bubbly.
- Let cool before serving, garnished with cilantro and a drizzle of vegan sour cream.
