I love to cook healthy and vegan dishes to share with the rest of the world. Though I am getting better at taking pics of my food every day, some dishes are just not photogenic....

That combined with me needing a food photography course - any tips for a good course are welcome - can make a dish look like a disaster on a plate! Luckily it tasted great. And that's what matters the most to me. TASTE TASTE TASTE.

How I wish you could all be here to have a taste of this ugly looking dish ;)

Directions


  1. Combine all cheese ingredients in a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Set aside.
  2. For the filling, heat cooking oil over medium heat and saute onion for a few minutes. Stir in garlic and bell pepper and cook for a few minutes more, stirring regularly. Then add sweet potatoes and herbs and cook, covered, until soft. Last few minutes add chickpeas and kidney beans and cooked until heated through. At the end add cashew cheese, stir well and remove from the heat. Add water as needed.
  3. At the same time, heat cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat and saute onion for a few minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for a few minutes more, stirring regularly. Then add tomatoes and cook, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes. Last few minutes season with herbs, salt and pepper to taste. Blend with water until smooth.
  4. Preheat heat oven to 200C or 400F.
  5. Assemble enchiladas. Add the filling to the middle of the tortillas and wrap. Arrange them in an oven-safe dish with a little of the sauce spread over the bottom. Top with remaining tomato sauce and bake in the oven until fully heated through. Top with extra cilantro or parsley.

As you know my door and kitchen are always open for you ;) Have a great day...

This looks really delicious! Thanks for sharing another great vegan recipe :)

Thanks my lovely vegan friend!

Thanks, Keep up the good work my vegan friend :)

Looks beautiful and good to me! Yum! You are so inspirational for creating vegan food. Athough I don't think I could be vegan, I do have vegan friends and I do enjoy healthy food. You make some great combinations and flavors. Well done.

Thanks! We leave some room in our vegan diet too. Cambodia is very rural and sometimes we are invited by the neighbours or other Khmer people and it is hard to be the fussy one as being vegan is something only the monks (not even all of them are as strict with it) do here and they only eat rice and veggies... so to be polite I still eat meat on very rare occasion to not be the fussy one. Apart from that, I love our plant0based lifestyle.... especially after seeing how it helped my hubby with his MS. Thanks for stopping by t=Tess. Have a lovely week!

Thank you so much for this recipe. I look forward to trying it out. Until then I’m upvoting, bookmarking and following!

Thanks @daqueend for all the support! If you do make it let me know what you think. We loved it. Hope you like it too!

Very creative, looks delicious

Thanks @deagonvegan for stopping by!

My pleasure, always enjoy your posts :)

This looks good. Thank you for sharing. I'm a little surprised cashews can stand in for cheese.

They sure can but it's the nutritional yeast that creates the cheesy magic ;) Have a lovely day!

Yummy! This sounds so good @amy-goodrich! :D

Thanks gorgeous! Happy Holidays to you and your (furry) family!

Wow! It looks so yummy!!! Thank You for sharing!

Thanks ;) Happy Holidays to you and your family
