Ingredients
Scale
Enchiladas
- 8 flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded plant-based cheese
- 6 slices smoked turkey bacon, cut into pieces
Sausage Gravy
- 1 lb chicken sausage, crumbled
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (natural)
- 3 tbsp flour
- 2 cups plant-based milk
- 1 tsp natural gelling agent
- 2 tbsp tomato paste (natural)
- 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Prepare the Sausage Gravy: Cook crumbled chicken sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Add finely chopped onions and garlic powder for aroma. Stir in flour to form a roux, then gradually whisk in plant-based milk and natural gelling agent to thicken. Blend in tomato paste, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Simmer until creamy and rich.
- Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: In a separate pan, lightly crisp the smoked turkey bacon pieces until fragrant and slightly caramelized to add a robust smoky flavor.
- Assemble the Enchiladas: Lay out each flour tortilla, sprinkle with shredded plant-based cheese, scatter pieces of turkey bacon across the surface, then roll the tortillas snugly and arrange seam-side down in a baking dish.
- Pour and Bake: Generously ladle the sausage gravy over the rolled enchiladas to coat them well. Sprinkle additional plant-based cheese on top. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 to 25 minutes until bubbling and warmed through.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove enchiladas from oven and let rest for a few minutes to allow sauce to settle and flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
- Use Warm Tortillas: Gently warming tortillas before assembling prevents cracking when rolling.
- Don’t Skip the Natural Gelling Agent: It ensures the gravy maintains a luscious, creamy texture without being runny.
- Control the Saltiness: Taste the gravy before baking, as vegetarian Worcestershire sauce can add saltiness.
- Keep Bacon Crispy: Cooking turkey bacon separately prevents sogginess inside the enchiladas.
- Rest Before Serving: Resting enchiladas allows the gravy to thicken slightly for the perfect bite.
