AVOCADO ENCHILADAS



Avocado Enchiladas image

I got this recipe from Fitnessmagazine, this recipe was written by Deena Kastor. I did not make it the way she wrote the recipie, we happen to like full fat cheese, and fresh herbs. We also went for light citrus flavored beer, and olive oil rather than the canola oil, as the olive oil provides a better taste.

  • Cashew Cream: To achieve a smooth and creamy texture, soak the cashews in hot water for at least 30 minutes before blending. Use a high-powered blender to ensure a细腻的 consistency.
  • Enchilada Filling: For a flavorful and balanced filling, combine the avocado-cashew cream with a blend of roasted vegetables, spices, and herbs. Customize the fillings by adding your favorite veggies, such as bell peppers, black beans, or corn.
  • Enchilada Sauce: Create a flavorful and tangy enchilada sauce by simmering tomatoes, chili peppers, garlic, and spices. Adjust the level of heat by choosing milder or spicier peppers.
