Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 plant-based chick'n cutlets (I used Gardein)
  • 1/2 cup onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves of garlic (minced)
  • 1 1/2 cups portabella mushrooms (finely chopped)
  • 1 cup kale leaves (finely chopped)
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (can substitute vegetable stock)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 15 ounces enchilada sauce (jarred or homemade)
  • 8 ounces vegan cream cheese
  • 8 flour tortillas
  • 10 ounces vegan cheddar or Monterey jack cheese (shredded)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley or cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
  1. 1

    Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Gardein cutlets and cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the cutlets from the pan and cut them into small pieces. Set aside.

     

  2. 2

    Add the onion to the same skillet and sauté over medium heat until soft, about 3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the garlic and sauté for an additional minute.

  4. 4

    Stir in the chick'n pieces, mushrooms, kale, and oregano. Cook, stirring often until the mushrooms are tender, about 8-10 minutes.

     

  5. 5

    Add the wine (or broth) to deglaze the pan, getting up all the stuck-on bits from the bottom. Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.

     

  6. 6

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the enchilada sauce and cream cheese, stirring continuously, until the cheese has melted and the sauce begins to simmer. Then remove the sauce from the heat.

     

  7. 7

    Pour 1/2 cup of sauce into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish, covering the bottom with a thin layer.

     

  8. 8

    Begin assembling the enchiladas by spooning 1/8 of the filling into each flour tortilla with about 1 ounce of the vegan cheese shreds.

  9. 9

    Roll the tortillas and place them in the baking dish, seam-side down.

     

  10. 10

    Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas, then sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese.
