Vegan enchilada with black beans, but the onions were sauteed with butter, so they're only vegetarian.
The pickled carrots onions, and jalapenos are homemade too.

Filling: extra firm tofu blended with Mexican oregano, cumin, fresh chopped garlic and onion, s&p (add a little chili power or cayenne if you want some kick) and a little oil in the food processor. Cook ground mixture a little in a pan (just to soften the onion and garlic content) then cooled. In this batch, I combined the tofu with some cooked brown rice, a little cooked millet and some vegan cheese mix (sometimes I might use lightly sauteed veggies cut into sticks, maybe zucchini in the mix). The "tortillas" are collard greens with the center spine removed and quickly blanched in a little water in a wide enough skillet (they darken and become pliant when ready). A little canned enchilada sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Lay out your collard; overlap, fold or tear and patch as needed...fill, roll and repeat. Sauce on top, "cheese" on top, cover & bake around 350 for about 35.

the pickle should have been semi homemade, fresh onion, carrots and a few whole jalapenos with pickled jalapenos added with more vinegar garlic and corriander and cumin seed. Shake.
