I am using 9 by 9 inch pan for the pictures, but the recipe makes a rectangular pan of 9 by 13 or 8 by 12. I saved some of the sauce and filling. This Enchilada is in not really authentic mexican but more my take on tex mex version. Add some soaked pasilla chiles to the sauce and blend in. Add a good layer of vegan cheese on top for variations.

Make your blender sauce and the lentil black bean filling.

Pour some sauce in the baking pan.

Fill tortillas with the filling, fold and place seam side down. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas to completely cover.

Bake. Garnish with loads of avocado, red onion, cilantro, black pepper and lime juice.
