Preparation
- Rinse 1 cup of dry lentils and place them in a pot with 2 ½ cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce and simmer for about 20 minutes. Once cooked, cover and let stand for 10 minutes.
- In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the spice mix and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in 1 tablespoon of gluten-free flour and cook for another minute. Add tomato sauce and simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
- Sauté 1 large chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves in a separate pan for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add 2 small diced bell peppers, 1 grated carrot, and chili peppers. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes.
- Blend the sautéed vegetables with rolled oats, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, and cooked lentils in a food processor until well mixed. Adjust thickness if needed by adding more oats.
- Preheat oven to 390°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- Spread about 2 heaped tablespoons of the lentil filling onto each tortilla and roll them up, placing seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Pour the enchilada sauce over the rolls and bake uncovered for about 15 minutes.
- If desired, sprinkle vegan cheese on top and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until melted and bubbly.
