If you love the taste and satisfaction of a home-cooked meal, but hate having a week’s worth of leftovers, this recipe is for you! I seriously love enchiladas, but every enchiladas recipe I’ve ever found makes enough to feed a small village. Plus, I’m not proud of it, but I’m just not a leftovers girl! I like my food fresh, and hot as lava. So, for me, small batch recipes are my jam. Like this enchiladas recipe I’m going to share today! It has all the flavor of authentic enchiladas, without the hefty serving size. Even better, it’s a small enough serving size that’s perfect for two people.
Are Veggie Enchiladas Healthy?
Not all easy vegetarian recipes are healthy, but the veggie enchiladas recipe I’m sharing today is! So many of the vegetarian recipes for dinner I’ve found use fake meat and cheese products, which are full of artificial, gut-disturbing ingredients. They may be tasty and filling, but they’re not so healthy. A huge reason these veggie enchiladas are one of my favorite, easy vegetarian recipes is that it’s tasty, filling, AND healthy! For this recipe, I swapped usual flour tortillas for corn tortillas, beans in place of meat, and a hefty scoop of collagen. Not just any collagen, though. Super Youth collagen. This hydrolyzed collagen is top-notch for its easy digestibility (you’re welcome, gut!), completely unnoticeable taste, and its anti-aging benefits. Plus, it adds an additional 14 grams of protein, which vegetarians are always looking out for!
How to Make Veggie Enchiladas Recipe
My favorite vegetarian recipes for dinner call for lots of flavor, and little effort. This small serving enchilada recipe for two is as easy as it gets, all you have to do is continue to layer your ingredients.
Start by preheating your oven to 425°F. Grab your cast iron skillet, and lay down a corn tortilla layer. If you’re using small tortillas, you may need two or three, or if using larger tortillas, one should work. Next, layer with cheese, diced tomatoes, onion and red peppers, and black beans. Add a bit more cheese, then another corn tortilla layer. Continue the process one more time, making sure the corn tortillas are the final layer. Combine your enchilada sauce and Super Youth collagen together, then spoon over top your layered enchiladas. Sprinkle another handful of cheese on top of the sauce and bake for about ten minutes in the oven. Once done, add sliced avocados, more tomatoes, and cilantro. So simple, and so delicious!
