Hi everyone!! I hope you are all enjoying your time in quarantine, and getting creative in the kitchen! I have been experimenting with so many different recipe’s and I really liked how this vegetarian black bean enchilada dish turned out. The best part is, one enchilada is under 300 calories (you need to use the carb wise tortilla to make it low calorie) I hope you give it a try! Adjust salt as needed!
Please see the ingredients needed below:
Enchilada Sauce:
1.5 tbs oil
2 cups vegetable broth
3 tbs flour (i used brown rice flour)
1 tbs ground chili
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbs tomato paste
1 tsp white vinegar/apple cider vinegar
Fresh ground pepper
