Spinach Enchiladas with Lentils
These Spinach Enchiladas with Lentils from Naturally Ella are perfect for meatless Monday! They’re loaded with spinach and lentils which keeps this recipe balanced. I saved a step by using an immersion blender to puree the sauce in the pot, rather than transferring it from a stand-alone blender.
To make, you’ll puree sauce ingredients in a food processor or with an emersion blender (as noted above) and simmer on the stovetop for 10-15 minutes. To make the enchiladas, you’ll combine the ingredients in a bowl and assemble with warmed tortillas. You’ll place enchiladas in a pan with the sauce, bake for 25-30 minutes, and top with optional toppings.
What you’ll need:
For the enchilada sauce:
-
28oz can whole tomatoes
-
1 cup diced red onion
-
1 clove garlic
-
1 tsp chili powder
-
1 tsp cumin
-
1/2 tsp coriander
-
1/2 tsp oregano
-
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
-
1/2 tsp salt
-
pinch of cayenne
-
2 tbsp fresh cilantro (we used cilantro paste)
-
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
-
1/2 cup vegetable broth
For the enchiladas:
-
2 cups shredded baby spinach
-
1/2 cup cooked black lentils
-
1/4 cup minced red onion
-
3 tbsp minced cilantro (we used cilantro paste)

1 tbsp lime juice
