Vegan Ground Beef Enchiladas
I love enchiladas. I particularly love that there are so many variations of them – some more complex than others, some that are simple, some that are kinda fancy with roasted chilies and homemade sauce, some with red sauce, and some with green, some with chicken, some with beef, and some filled with veggies and beans – I even love the enchiladas that have olives dolloped right on top. Have you had those?! My wife’s mom used to make ’em like that and funny enough, when I lived in Louisiana, that’s how they always came when I ordered them at any Tex-Mex restaurant. Up until I moved to California, I assumed all enchiladas had olives, and to this day, I still enjoy them on the side 😂 It might sound atrocious to some, but it’s good! Definitely not authentic, but delicious nonetheless.
My vegan ground beef enchiladas are kind of a mashup of the variations of Enchiladas I’ve enjoyed throughout my life. They’re simple, with just a cheesy vegan ground beef filling, but the seasoning really takes it over the top! And the sauce is homemade, with the rehydrated chilies adding a nice complexity in flavor. Yes, I add flour to my enchilada sauce because I really enjoy its gravy-like consistency!
Ya see what I mean … they’re kinda Tex-Mex, but with my own little spin on it 🙂
