Whether you're plant-based or not, you're in for a treat with these enchiladas. Load the lentil filling with carrot for sweetness, Mexican spices for some heat and enchilada sauce to bring it all together. Serve with a cooling salsa and some mashed avo to take the enchiladas to new heights. We’ve replaced the sweetcorn in this recipe with cucumber due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Finely chop brown onion and garlic.
• Roughly chop tomato. 
• Grate carrot. 
• Drain and rinse lentils. 
• Finely chop cucumber.
• Slice avocado in half and scoop out flesh. 

Start the filling
2

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over 
medium-high heat. Cook onion, lentils and carrot, 
stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes.
• SPICY! You may find the spice blend hot. Add less 
if you’re sensitive to heat. Add garlic and 
Mexican Fiesta spice blend. Cook until fragrant, 
1-2 minutes.

Finish the filling
3

• Reduce heat to medium, then add a pinch of brown 
sugar, the water and half the enchilada sauce.
• Simmer until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. 
• Season with salt and pepper to taste. 

Grill the enchiladas
4

• Preheat grill to medium-high. Drizzle a baking dish 
with olive oil.
• Lay mini flourtortillas on a chopping board. Spoon 
some lentil filling down the centre of a tortilla, 
then roll it up tightly and place seam-side down in 
the baking dish. Repeat with remaining filling and 
tortillas, ensuring they fit together snuggly.
• Pour over remaining enchilada sauce.
• Grill enchiladas until golden and tortillas have 
warmed through, 8-10 minutes.
TIP: Grills cook fast, so keep an eye on the enchiladas! 

Make the salsa
5

• While enchiladas are grilling, add avocado and 
a drizzle of olive oil to a small bowl. Mash until 
smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 
• To a medium bowl, add tomato, cucumber and a 
drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil.
• Toss to combine and season to taste.

Finish & serve
6

• Divide plant-based lentil loaded enchiladas between 
plates. Top with cucumber salsa and smashed avo. 
• Tear over coriander to serve. Enjoy!
