Mexican-style flavors always go over well in our house. There’s something zesty and timeless that makes it supremely satisfying. So when I gave Alex a few choices to try from a new cookbook we received, I wasn’t at all surprised that this vegetarian skillet enchiladas recipe was his top choice. This recipe is from The High Protein Vegetarian Cookbook from Katie Parker, of the blog Veggie and the Beast. It’s full of delicious vegetarian meals that are billed as “hearty dishes that even carnivores will love”, since Katie herself is a vegetarian and her boyfriend a carnivore. If the rest of the recipes in the book are anything like these skillet enchiladas, I would certainly agree with the tag line. This dish was intensely flavorful and we didn’t want to stop eating it. It’s a good one to put meat-lovers to the test; let us know if you give it a whirl.
How to make vegetarian skillet enchiladas
This skillet enchiladas recipe is pretty simple to which up, especially with premade enchilada sauce. I made this skillet on my own without Alex, and it took me a bit of time to chop all the veggies. If you’re looking at serving this meal as a weeknight meal, we recommend chopping the veggies, cutting the tortillas and shredding the cheese in advance; after that prep, it should take only about 15 to 20 minutes to throw together. We’re looking forward to trying a few more items from the book. Congratulations to Katie on a lovely book full of tempting and satisfying vegetarian recipes!
