#nutrient dense #enchiladas

Delicious and nutrient dense, omnivore or vegetarian — or both! Perfect for dinner parties. One main dish for both omnivore and vegetarians guests. Make one tray of each.

What makes it nutrient dense?

✅ onions

✅ garlic

✅ bell pepper

✅ poblano pepper

✅ beans

✅ tomatoes

✅ cilantro

✅ spices: chili, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, black pepper

Variations

Vegetarian: use 1 1/2 cup cooked lentils instead of ground meat
Spicy: keep the poblano seeds or add 1/4 – 1/2 red pepper flakes
Chicken: use chopped up leftover (or rotisserie) chicken instead of ground meat
Dairy free: use pecorino romano and goat cheeese

Enchilada Sauce

You can use store-bought. Always read ingredient labels for minimal ingredients. If you want to make it, I use this recipe

Taco Seasoning

Again, you can use store-bought, but I think it’s totally worth making your own.

Leftovers

So many ways to use leftover enchilada filling that I make extra. Freeze another day.

Stuffed bell peppers, or zucchini or paghetti squash (scoop out seeds first), sprinkle cheese on top and cook in oven for 30 – 40 minutes.
