Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Vegan Zucchini Enchiladas
  1. Begin by slicing your zucchini into thin, even rounds and let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained black beans, half of the enchilada sauce, cumin, chili powder, and any optional binders like nutritional yeast.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce evenly across the bottom of a glass baking dish. Fill each corn tortilla with the zucchini and black bean mixture, roll them up tightly, and place seam-side down in the dish.
  4. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled enchiladas; sprinkle vegan cheese on top if desired.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the enchiladas are heated through and the top is slightly golden.
  6. Once baked, let them cool for a few minutes and serve warm with your favorite toppings.
