Stacked enchiladas

[TerriT]

I've tried making enchiladas but my tortillas always fall apart when I roll them up, no matter how much I dampen or warm them first. The only corn tortillas I can find here in the UK are pretty stiff.

So I came up with an idea for "stacked enchiladas". I warm tortillas in the microwave then I stack them on individual plates with different layers of tasty stuff in between. This has become one of our favourite meals.

At the bottom I spread enchilada sauce. I like the Esselstyns' recipe best (from the Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease), but I like to add a little cocoa powder.

The other layers can be any combination of:

fat-free refried beans, mixed with some salsa from a jar
black beans sautéed with vegetables, cumin powder, chipotle powder and oregano
vegetables sautéed with cumin powder, chipotle powder and oregano and no black beans
"cheesy" plant-based sauce
homemade pico de gallo
a dab of homemade guacamole on top

I should give the source for the ingredient list. Maybe someone can give us the interpretation of them:

I think you meant to post this in the tortilla chips thread in the lounge. But the interpretation of gordita is thick/fat tortilla. In Spanish "gordo" means fat. I guess gordito means chubby. Gordita means chubby girl. Anyway, that's a flour tortilla that's a little chubby. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordita

I've taken to making enchiladas in layered casserole form. More liked a stacked enchilada than a rolled enchilada and much like a lasagna using corn tortillas instead of noodles. I like a layer of greens in mine, either cooked spinach or kale. My girls don't like enchiladas, so my husband and I get to eat the whole thing.

That's a good idea. I might add spinach or kale to the vegetable mixture next time.
