Chipotle Cheddar Cauliflower Enchiladas.

These cauliflower enchiladas are so satisfying and delicious! Chipotle roasted cauliflower is mixed with sharp cheddar for a melty filling and stuffed in a flour tortilla. Baked with sauce until warm and cheese, these are divine!

I made you dinner!

These chipotle cheddar cauliflower enchiladas are a delicious weeknight favorite. They are so filling and perfect for taco night! 

And here’s a secret: the excitement is alllll in the toppings. 

Lots of toppings for everyone! 

It’s been far too long since I shared an enchilada recipe! If you’ve been around here forever, you might know that enchiladas were one of the first (if not, theeee first) dishes that I ever made for Eddie. They became a favorite for both of us and to this day, are still a major go-to for us.

I’m always looking for new ways to spice things up and add uniqueness to the dish. And while I’ve made many variations, I’ve never made a cauliflower enchilada before. It sounded delish!

One of the most made recipes from the side are these cauliflower and black bean sheet pan fajitas. They are extremely hearty and filling and ridiculously flavorful too. So I knew the combo would work in enchiladas! 

They are slightly high maintenance because this recipe does require roasting the cauliflower first. That ensures that the veggies get tender enough to wrap in the filling. It makes the dish so much better! 

I roast the cauliflower first with chipotle chili powder and lots of smoky seasoning. 

While the cauliflower roasts, I make the enchilada sauce. This is what MAKES the recipe. It’s so simple and delicious! For years I used canned enchilada sauce, then once I started making the homemade stuff, it changed everything.

This makes the enchiladas taste like the best enchiladas you’ve ever had! 

I make a classic cheese enchilada and they are incredible. So I took that recipe and added the roasted chipotle cauliflower to the filling. Oh my gosh – these are fab! 

Baked and topped with extra cheese, then blanketed in allll the toppings… we all get super excited to see this on the dinner table.

Our favorite toppings are:

Shredded lettuce

Chopped tomatoes

Pickled onions

Sliced scallions

Cotija cheese

Fresh cilantro 

And even avocado!

Just depends on what you have in the fridge. The toppings can make it so much more enjoyable and even more filling.  (more…)
