INSTRUCTIONS
- Make the Filling

- Add beans, cumin powder, taco seasoning, chili powder, salt & pepper and 2 tbsp water. Cover the pan and let it cook for about 3-4 minutes and then add scallions & cilantro.
- Make the Sauce
- In a large saucepan, melt some butter and add a white onion, garlic, jalapeño and Serrano peppers and cook them until they have softened, about 5-6 minutes.
- Whisk in the flour and let cook until golden in color for 3 minutes. Slowly whisk in the broth in a small amount and continue whisking until sauce is thick and bubbly.
- Stir in the green salsa, cilantro, cumin powder and cayenne pepper. Cook, stirring until all the ingredients are mixed well.
- Remove pan from the heat and let it cool down a little. Stir in the sour cream. Puree the sauce using immersion blender and blend until smooth.
- Assemble Enchilada

- Add veggie/bean mixture in the middle of the tortilla, top with a handful of the cheese and seal the enchilada closed. Place it seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat for the rest of the filling & tortillas.
- Pour the sauce generously over the enchiladas, top with leftover cheese, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly!
