Scale
Filling Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup plant-based sour cream
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1/2 cup chopped green chilies
- Salt, to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Sauce Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
- 1 cup water
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chopped green chilies
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded or chopped
Additional Ingredients
- 8–10 flour tortillas (soft and pliable)
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
- Plant-based sour cream, for topping
- Avocado slices, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Shred the rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a skillet, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic over medium heat until translucent and fragrant. Add the green chilies, plant-based sour cream, apple cider vinegar (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and a pinch of salt. Stir in the shredded chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Make the Natural Sauce: In a saucepan, combine the natural gelling agent with water and warm gently while stirring to prevent lumps. Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped green chilies to the mixture. Pour in the apple cider vinegar (natural) and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Stir in the plant-based cheese and continue stirring until the cheese melts completely and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Enchiladas: Warm the flour tortillas slightly to make them flexible. Place a generous spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each tortilla and roll it tightly. Arrange the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in a baking dish. Pour the natural sauce evenly over the top, ensuring each enchilada is well coated.
- Bake Until Golden: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the enchiladas for about 20 minutes, or until the sauce bubbles and the plant-based cheese on top is melted and slightly golden. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Notes
- Warm the tortillas slightly to prevent cracking while rolling.
- Shred the chicken evenly for consistent filling in each enchilada.
- Use the right amount of filling to keep enchiladas neat and easy to eat.
- Allow baked enchiladas to rest for a few minutes before serving to enhance flavor melding.
- Add fresh cilantro at the end to brighten the flavor and presentation.
