Explore the delicious fusion of flavors with our Vegan Bean and Pumpkin Enchiladas recipe! These enchiladas are filled with hearty beans, savory pumpkin, and wrapped in warm tortillas, making them a perfect dish for any occasion. Let's dive into how to make them:

Ingredients:

• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1 cup enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 8-10 corn tortillas
• 1 cup vegan cheese, shredded (optional)
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
• Sliced avocado, lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:

   • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

2. Cook Beans and Pumpkin:

   • Add drained black beans, pumpkin puree, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning if needed.

3. Assemble the Enchiladas:

   • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
   • Warm the corn tortillas slightly to make them pliable. Place a spoonful of the bean and pumpkin mixture in the center of each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.

4. Bake:

   • Once all enchiladas are assembled in the dish, pour remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle with vegan cheese, if using.
   • Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until enchiladas are heated through and cheese (if using) is melted.

5. Serve:

   • Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with sliced avocado and lime wedges on the side.

6. Enjoy:

   • Serve these Vegan Bean and Pumpkin Enchiladas hot, and savor the delicious blend of flavors and textures!

Tips for Perfect Enchiladas:

• Variations: Add diced jalapeños or bell peppers for extra spice and crunch.
• Make Ahead: Prepare the filling and assemble the enchiladas ahead of time, then bake just before serving.
• Gluten-Free Option: Ensure your enchilada sauce and corn tortillas are gluten-free if needed.
