Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Savory plant-based sausage, 1 lb
- Flour tortillas, 8 medium-sized
- All-purpose flour, 1/4 cup
- Vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons
- Plant-based milk, 2 cups
- Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), 1 tablespoon
- Apple cider vinegar (natural), 1 teaspoon
- Ground black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt, 1 teaspoon
- Nutritional yeast (optional), 2 tablespoons
- Natural gelling agent, 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Brown the Sausage: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add plant-based sausage and cook until golden brown and aromatic. Remove sausage and set aside, keeping rendered oil in the pan for making gravy.
- Prepare the Sausage Gravy: In the same skillet with sausage drippings, sprinkle flour evenly over oil and stir constantly to form a roux. Cook for 2 minutes to remove raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in plant-based milk, stirring to maintain smoothness and allow gravy to thicken. Add vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), salt, pepper, and nutritional yeast if using. Stir in natural gelling agent to achieve a creamy, silky texture perfect for coating the enchiladas.
- Assemble the Enchiladas: Warm flour tortillas until pliable. Spoon a generous amount of browned sausage onto each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in a baking dish. Pour hot sausage gravy evenly over the wrapped tortillas, covering all surfaces to lock in moisture and flavor.
- Bake and Serve: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake enchiladas for 20 minutes or until gravy bubbles and edges turn golden. Let cool for a few minutes before serving to allow gravy to set and make cutting easier.
Notes
- Use a flavorful plant-based sausage that mimics traditional spices for authentic taste.
- Add plant-based milk gradually while whisking to avoid lumps and achieve smooth gravy.
- Warm tortillas in a damp towel or microwave briefly before rolling to keep them soft.
- Use plenty of gravy to keep enchiladas moist and delicious.
- Allow the dish to rest a few minutes after baking so the gravy thickens and holds everything together.
