vegan green chile enchilada
8 Jul
A friend from grade school was in an accident two weeks ago – a forestry truck hit him while he was on his dirt bike. He broke his left foot and right leg. Long recovery for him, as you can imagine.
Today I tripled my plans for dinner, so he could have dinner taken care of for a day or two.
I made green chile enchiladas – chicken for him, vegetarian / vegan for us.
Here’s how I did it:
Chop one onion.
Saute with a splash olive oil.
While that is happening, rehydrate soy curls. This is what they look like out of the package:
Soak in warm water for 10 minutes.
Add 1 cup green chiles to onion:
Let those flavors warm up while soy curls are rehydrating.
Ready! Add soy curls to onion + chile mixture. I added a few splashes of sriracha.
Let this mixture warm for a bit – the soy curls should absorb flavors.
Get ready for assembly! Wraps:
Tofutti Better Than Creme Cheese :
Coat baking dish with green enchilada sauce:
Now I’m going to let you all in on the secret to my enchiladas. Creme cheese!
In this case, vegan creme cheese. Spread across middle of wrap:
Top with soy curl mixture:
Fold in edges, and roll:
Line up in baking dish, top with remaining enchilada sauce:
Jason’s have Tillamook cheddar:
Then repeat all over again, twice and with chicken:
Hope these help a speedy recovery, G.
For this recipe I used canned enchilada sauce and canned chiles. I think Basil Pup used to be fed canned food – each time I open a can he comes running. 
Speaking of Sweet Dachshunds… look at this scuba doxie! I’m not sure how I feel about this (poor thing!), but he is a beautiful dog.
Also! Camille is giving away clif bars and a fun mug from her trip to Yosemite, on her blog Embrace your skin. Go give it a read!

I’m pretty sure I could bribe Billy with those enchiladas…hmmm, gets me thinking!
Those look fantastic! I love enchiladas. Seriously. An obsession.
I love your step-by-step instructions. So tell me, where do you buy these soy curls? And what do they honestly taste like? I am intrigued.
In Portland we have a vegan grocer ( THEY ARE SO AWESOME!! ) where I buy them…
AAAANNNND…. –> I’m having a Soy Curls giveaway soon… stay tuned!!
Oooh exciting!
Those look amazing. You’re such a good friend to do this for him.
I’m glad he’s okay!
I think I’ve resigned myself to never getting to taste the joy of enchiladas. Fie on you, sensitive tummy! Fie, fie! =P
oh, I am so sorry for that. truly.
I should say you’re not really missing anything… or I should attempt an enchilada YOU could eat… what would that include / exclude?
Ooh, you would try that for me?
As far as I know, I can eat anything but soy, gluten, dairy, and meat. =P I know, I’m so limited. Boo.
I’d be eternally grateful for a recipe! <3
Can I come over for dinner? I know I’ll be well fed.
You are a nice friend. I hope your friend feels better!
anytime you are in Portland, you can come over for eats!!
I’d love it, it’s What I do… friend had surgery a few days ago, long recovery ahead as he cannot walk, but there are a few of us keeping him well fed & happy in the mean time.
