Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by rinsing 1 cup of dry lentils under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine lentils with 3 cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and let simmer for about 20 minutes until tender.
- In a skillet over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add spices and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Gradually stir in 2 tablespoons of gluten-free flour and mix well. Slowly incorporate 2 cups of tomato sauce, simmering for about 5 minutes.
- In another pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté 1 chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves until translucent. Add 1 chopped bell pepper, 1 grated carrot, and 1 diced tomato, cooking for 5-7 minutes.
- In a food processor, combine 1/4 cup of rolled oats, 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds, and 2 tablespoons of chia seeds. Pulse until finely ground, then mix in the cooked veggies and lentils.
- Preheat your oven to 390°F (200°C). Spoon about 1/4 cup of the lentil filling onto a tortilla and roll tightly. Place seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat for all tortillas.
- Pour the enchilada sauce over the tortillas, ensuring they are well covered. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes, then add vegan cheese and return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve garnished with fresh cilantro or avocado slices.
