If you’re vegetarian or looking to eat less meat, here’s a fakeaway just for you. Filling and satisfying thanks to the beans and butternut squash, with plenty of spices for an aromatic, rich flavour that means you really don’t miss the meat. I thought I would give this vegetarian family meal recipe a go as a fakeaway after the success of my Slow Cooker Beef Enchiladas and Slow Cooker Chicken Enchiladas… if they worked so well I wondered if a veggie version would too. Turns out, the answer is yes!
Why you’ll love this Veggie Enchiladas recipe
⭐️ Super simple zero fuss recipe ⭐️ Low-cost and healthy store cupboard ingredients ⭐️ Ideal as a vegetarian buffet dish This is my family-friendly version that is healthy, low cost and super convenient to throw together. While I do love beef enchiladas and chicken enchiladas too, this recipe is great for vegetarians or if you’d rather omit meat from this dish. In the fridge You can keep this recipe in the fridge for 3 days. Reheat fully in the microwave or oven before serving. The wraps to tend to go a little soggy when reheated, but honestly? I’d still eat them happily. Up to you. In the freezer If you freeze leftovers, be prepared for the tortillas to be a bit soggy and not at their best. If you want to freeze leftovers, try and pre-empt this and take some of the sauce out to freeze before you add the tortillas if possible. Chilli: If you like a little more heat, add extra chilli flakes, fresh chillis or get your beans in a chilli sauce. If you’re serving this to children and they don’t like spicy, omit or reduce the chilli powder. Prepare it the night before: This is one of those slow cooker favourites that allows you to throw all the ingredients in the night before if time is going to be tight in the morning. Simply add the slow cook ingredients to the slow cooker pan and keep in the fridge overnight. All you have to do is pop it into the cooker in the morning (and don’t forget to actually switch it on!)Then add the sweetcorn, wraps and cheese at the end of the cooking time as per the usual instructions.
