Instructions
 

Cowboy Caviar

  • Mix all ingredients together and set aside until ready to assemble enchiladas

Roasted Poblano Cream Sauce

  • Preheat oven to 375°F
  • Place the poblanos, onion, and garlic cloves with skins on (they come out easily after cooked) on a baking sheet. Toss with olive oil and roast for 30 minutes
  • While veggies are roasting, start to make your cream sauce. Melt butter in a saucepan and whisk in the flour to form a thick paste. Slowly stir in the milk, broth, and spices while continuing to whisk over medium heat. Continue for 8-10 minutes, or until sauce has thickened
  • Once veggies are done roasting, remove garlic skins and discard. Add everything to a blender or food processor along with the creamy sauce and spinach. Blend or pulse until mostly smooth

Enchiladas

  • Turn oven down to 325°F
  • Pour ½ cup of poblano sauce on bottom of a casserole dish
  • For each 8-10" flour tortilla, use about ⅓ cup of the caviar. Roll and place seam side down on top of sauce. Repeat for remaining tortillas
  • For each corn tortilla, use about ¼ cup of the caviar. Roll and place seam side down on top of sauce. Repeat for remaining tortillas
  • Pour poblano sauce over enchiladas and add vegan cheese, if using. Transfer to oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until hot and bubbly!
