Enchiladas with Avocado Cilantro Sauce



These are the best enchiladas I've ever had. No exaggeration. 
My dad, the meat eating man, also thought they were "really, really good," and I hope you do, too! :) 


Vegetarian Enchiladas

-1 16oz can vegetarian re-fried beans

-1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
-2 cloves garlic, minced

Avocado Cilantro Sauce
-2 Avocados

-2 cups vegetable broth
-3/4 cup low fat sour cream
-1/2 tsp. cumin
-1/2 tsp. salt
-1/2 tsp. pepper 
-1/2 cup chopped, fresh cilantro

Make avocado cilantro sauce
Melt butter in skillet over medium heat, add in flour and slowly whisk in vegetable broth
Bring to a boil then reduce hear and simmer for 5 minutes
Stir in cumin, salt and pepper
Transfer mixture to a food processor and add in lime juice sour cream, cilantro and avocado
Pulse on slow working your way up to a higher speed
Blend until smooth set aside 

Preheat oven to 350

In a medium pan, heat olive oil and add garlic, mushrooms, onions and peppers and cook about 5 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally, and remove from heat
Assemble enchiladas, place tortilla on flat surface and spread a tablespoon or two of each of the following: re-fried beans, black beans and sauteed veggie mixture. 
Sprinkle with crumbled feta and drizzle with avocado sauce. 
Roll filled tortilla and place it face down in a baking dish. 
Repeat with remaining tortillas. I fit 7 in my dish.
Cover with the remaining avocado cilantro sauce and sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the top.
Cover with tin foil and bake 25 minutes.
Let cool for 5-10 minutes and serve!
