Super Easy Chicken Enchiladas Verde

Prep: 40 mins | Cook: 20 mins | Total Time: 1 hour | Yield: 8-10 servings


Ingredients:

For the sauce:

1 16-oz. bottle mild salsa verde

1 cup fresh cilantro, tightly packed

For the enchiladas:

3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken breast

3 cups Monterey jack cheese, about 12 oz.

1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

1 medium jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)

2 tsp honey

2 tbsp fersh lime juice

1 tsp garlic powder

kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

8 8″ flour tortillas

For the diced pickled red onion:

1/2 medium red onion, peeled and diced

1/4 cup white wine vinegar, or any other mild vinegar

1/4 cup water

1 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp kosher salt


Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray a 9×13″ pan with cooking spray or oil it lightly. Set aside.
  2. Combine salsa verde and 1 cup cilantro in a blender. Using the pulse option, pulse about 15-20 times until cilantro is well blended, but still a bit chunky. Pour 1 cup of the sauce into prepared pan. Set aside.
  3. Combine chicken, 1 cup cheese, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro and diced jalapeño (if using) in a medium-sized bowl. Toss gently with a fork to combine. Combine lime juice, honey and garlic powder in a small bowl and stir to combine. Drizzle over chicken and toss again.
  4. Drizzle about 2 tsp of olive oil onto a dinner plate. Set one tortilla on the oiled plate. Scoop up about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture and spread evenly across the lower third of the tortilla. Roll up tortillas and place, seam sides down, in pan. Repeat with remaining 7 tortillas, adding a bit more oil to the plate, as needed.
  5. Pour sauce down center of enchiladas and spread to within one inch of edges. Sprinkle remaining 2 cups cheese over the sauce. Leave a 1″ border that’s not covered with sauce and cheese. (The edges crisp up in the oven and are delicious!)
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with chopped cilantro and pickled red onion if desired.
  7. While the enchiladas are baking, prepare pickled red onions. Combine diced onion, vinegar, water, sugar and salt in a small bowl. Allow to sit for 15-20 minutes, then drain well and pat dry with paper towels.

Easy Vegan Pumpkin Pie

Prep time: 15 mins | Cook Time: 1 hour | Total Time: 1 hr 5 mins | Makes: 1 9″ pie


Ingredients:

1 3/4 cups pumpkin purée (a 14 oz. can is equal to 1 3/4 cups; do not use pumpkin pie filling)

3/4 cup full-fat coconut milk (see notes for substitutions and more info)

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup cornstarch

1/4 cup maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

1 Recipe easy vegan pie crust, or 1 9″ frozen vegan pie crust (gluten-free if preferred)

Vegan coconut whipped cream (optional)


Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Have your unbaked 9″ pie shell ready (there is no need to pre-bake it).
  2. Add the pumpkin, coconut milk, brown sugar, cornstarch, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and salt to a blender or a large bowl. Mix well.
  3. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the pie crust. Use a spatula to spread the pumpkin evenly and smooth out the top.
  4. Bake for 60 minutes. When you remove it from the oven, the edges will be slightly cracked and the middle will still look wobbly. Let cool, and then chill uncovered in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight until completely set. Serve plain or with coconut whipped cream.

Notes:

Coconut Milk: use a full-fat coconut milk (the kind in a can) and make sure to shake the can before using. The richness of coconut milk will make the pie cream and delicious.

Coconut milk substitute: If you can’t use coconut milk, substitute with a rich vegan heavy cream or a barista-style soy or oat milk. Be sure to choose a plant-based milk with a higher fat content so so the pie stays creamy and delicious. You can also use an equal amount of plain vegan yoghurt. The texture may be slightly softer, so be sure to chill thoroughly to set.

Storage: The pie will keep fresh in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Freezing the Pie: You can also freeze the pie. Cook the pie, allow it to set and cool overnight in the fridge. Place the pie on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, 3-4 hours. Wrap in plastic wrap then place in a freezer bag, aluminum foil, or an air-tight container and return it to the freezer. The pie should keep for up to 2 months.
