Sauté the onions and bell pepper in a skillet until browned and softened, about 15 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, ½ cup of enchilada sauce, and seasonings. Then, mix in the black beans, onions, bell pepper, and corn.
Heat the tortillas using one of the methods below. Place the heated tortillas on a plate and cover to keep warm.
Spoon a layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch oven safe dish.
Fill the softened tortillas with a few scoops, about ¼ cup, of the filling and lay them seam-side down in the dish.
Once the dish is filled cover the tops of the tortillas with more enchilada sauce and optional sliced olives or vegan cheese. Save any extra sauce for serving.
Bake at 350ºF for 20-25 minutes.
Serve topped with extra sauce, diced avocado, and any optional toppings.
To Soften The Corn Tortillas
Warm on a pan – Place the stack of tortillas in a large dry pan. Heat over medium heat flipping and rotating the stack of tortillas to warm them evenly. Place the warm tortillas on a plate and cover so they stay soft.
Steam the corn tortillas – Wrap them in a clean dish towel and heat in a pot with a steamer basket for 1-2 minutes. Remove them from the heat and let them steam in the towel for 3-5 minutes. If they’re not pliable enough place them back in the steamer basket for another minute. Keep the tortillas in the towel to stay soft and warm.
Notes
Cashew cream cheese can be replaced with an equal amount of your favorite store-bought or homemade cream cheese.
Additional filling options: You can always add your favorite beans or veggies to these enchiladas. Some other filling options are tofu ground beef, chopped spinach, cooked diced potatoes, or any leftover veggies you need to use up.
I use and recommend the enchilada sauce from Whole Foods. It's mild enough for my family. But feel free to use any enchilada sauce on hand.
There is no need to defrost the frozen corn. It will heat up in the enchiladas. It can also be replaced with available fresh or canned corn.
If you're using flour tortillas, don't top them with enchilada sauce. Bake them dry and top with enchilada sauce after baking. If you top them before baking the tortillas will become mushy.
