Instructions
 

For Enchilada Salsa Verde

  • Roast onions, garlic, jalapeño and tomatillos on a sheet pan at 400 degrees for 20 mins.

For Tofu Filling

  • Add tofu and spices and cook for 5-7 minutes until browning.
  • Add corn and cook 3-4 more minutes.

Assembly

  • Heat the tortillas for 2 minutes on each side with a little oil to “seal” them so they don’t disintegrate from the sauce.
  • Spray a casserole pan with olive oil then roll each warmed tortilla with vegan cheese and tofu filling.
  • Top with salsa, more vegan cheese and tin foil. Bake at 400 for 30 minutes.
