Ingredients
- 1 pound vegan beef crumbles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 15 ounces black beans
- 2 cups enchilada sauce
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 cup vegan cheese shreds
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Finely chop the medium onion, garlic cloves, and green bell pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, garlic, and green bell pepper to the skillet, sautéing until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the vegan beef crumbles to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Season the mixture with chili powder, cumin powder, and smoked paprika, stirring to combine.
Drain and rinse the black beans, then add them to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes.
Spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce evenly over the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Spoon a portion of the vegan beef mixture into each tortilla, roll them up, and place them seam-side down in the baking dish.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the rolled tortillas.
Sprinkle vegan cheese shreds over the enchiladas.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and squeeze lime juice over the top before serving.
