Instructions
Cheese Sauce
- Dice potatoes and carrots. Steam or boil in water for 10 minutes until soft.
- Drain. Add to blender along with cashews, mustard, jalapeños, brine, nutritional yeast, oat milk, and salt.
- Blend until completely silky smooth. (If blender isn’t high-powered, soak cashews in boiled water for 1 hour first.)
Enchilada Sauce
- In a small pot over medium heat, whisk oil and flour together.
- Add tomato purée and all spices. Mix well.
- Add water, about 50ml at a time, whisking constantly until smooth. Heat through — doesn’t need to boil.
Filling & Assembly
- Cut sweet potato into small pieces. Cover with water in a pan, bring to a simmer.
- While potatoes cook (about 15 min), dice onion, bell pepper, garlic, and chop coriander.
- Drain potatoes. In a large pan, sauté onion, garlic, and bell pepper in a splash of water until softened.
- Add sweet potatoes, black beans, chopped tomatoes, salsa, cream cheese, and all spices. Simmer 10 min.
- Stir in half the enchilada sauce.
- Spread filling down the center of each tortilla, roll up, and place seam-side down in an ovenproof dish. Repeat for all 8.
- Spread remaining enchilada sauce over the top. Pour cheese sauce over everything.
- Bake at 190°C for ~20 minutes until bubbling and golden.
Tips & Notes
- Make extra cheese sauce — great as a dip for leftover tortilla chips.
- Corn tortillas — warm them briefly before rolling so they don’t crack.
- Serves about 4 as a main.
- Freezes well — assemble, cover with sauce, freeze before baking. Thaw overnight before baking.
- Oatly cream cheese is recommended but any vegan cream cheese works.
- No cashews? The potato-carrot base means you need fewer cashews than a typical cashew cheese — but the cashews do add the silky texture.
