Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Dice the green bell pepper.
Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the bell pepper and cook for another 3 minutes until softened.
Add the plant-based chicken substitute to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes or until heated through, breaking into smaller pieces with a spatula.
Rinse and drain the canned black beans, then add them to the skillet along with the cumin, chili powder, and salt, mixing well to combine.
Lightly grease a baking dish with a little olive oil.
Spread a couple of tablespoons of enchilada sauce over each tortilla.
Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the skillet mixture onto each tortilla, then roll them up tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle the vegan cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving and enjoy your Vegan Chicken Enchiladas.
