Description

A delightful fusion of traditional butter chicken flavors wrapped in enchiladas, topped with vegan cheese and a spicy sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Sauce:
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi) or 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • For the Filling:
  • 1/2 cup chopped or sliced onion
  • 1 cup chopped or sliced bell pepper (mix of red and green)
  • 2 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste (or 2 cloves garlic minced, 1/2 inch ginger minced)
  • 15-ounce can chickpeas (drained) or 1.5 cups cooked
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • To Assemble:
  • 4 to 6 medium-sized tortillas
  • Hot sauce, to taste
  • Vegan cheese shreds of choice (like mozzarella)
  • Chopped red onion and cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
  2. Make the Sauce: In a medium saucepan, heat 1 teaspoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell peppers, sauté until softened (about 5 minutes). Stir in the mushrooms and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Mix in the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for an additional minute. Add the tomato paste, coconut milk, and spices; stir until well combined and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  3. Make the Filling: Remove about 1/3 of the sauce for topping. In the remaining sauce, add the drained chickpeas, salt, black pepper, and lime juice.
  4. Assemble the Enchiladas: Warm tortillas in a skillet for 30 seconds each side. Place filling in each tortilla and roll up tightly. Arrange in a baking dish. Pour reserved sauce on top, sprinkle with vegan cheese, and add hot sauce if desired.
  5. Bake for about 20 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Notes

Consider adding vegetables for extra nutrition. Use fresh ginger and garlic for better flavor.
