Mexican cuisine is not only tacos and burritos, it is also enchiladas! Usually the tortilla is filled with meat and beans, and today we will try vegan enchiladas with jackfruit and mixed beans! Completely vegan, dipped in strong sauce and baked in the oven!
I regularly go to my favorite Mexican restaurant for tacos, but enchiladas are something that I can easily prepare at home.
Give yourself a little pleasure and prepare enchiladas and you will feel a surge of positive energy!
BEANS – I won’t lie… This dish tastes best with black beans soaked the day before and cooked for a long time. But any other beans work just as well and take much less time.
JACKFRUIT – you can easily buy it in Asian stores, packed in a can. It is not difficult to prepare it, but you must remember to rinse it thoroughly so that it does not taste like the brine.

- Rinse the jackfruit thoroughly, cut off the hard means, but do not throw them away. Tear the soft parts in your hands to make it look like chicken meat, cut the hard parts into small pieces. Rinse everything again and dry it with a cloth.
- Put jackfruit and spices on a hot pan with a bit of oil, fry for about 5 minutes. Add the beans and diced paprika and let it cook for another 5-10 minutes.
