¼ cup cooked beans
2 cups sauce for enchiladas
1 tablespoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon coriander powder

The red pepper is added in cubes and corn. They cook another few minutes.

Finally, the enchiladas are baked about 20 minutes.

And for dessert ... Gingerbread cookies!

Ingredients

275 grams of flour
75 grams of brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon and ½ of ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
50 grams of extra virgin olive oil
50 grams of oat milk
50 grams of agave syrup

The recipe step by step

First all the dry ingredients are mixed in a bowl: flour, sugar, bicarbonate, salt and spices.
Once the dry ingredients are mixed, the liquids are mixed in another bowl: oil, oat milk and agave syrup.
Next, mix the dry ingredients with the liquids until you get a compact mass that has a slightly sticky texture but does not get stuck to your fingers. If it is very dry, just add a little milk; and, if it is very liquid, a little flour.
The dough is wrapped in plastic wrap and left to rest in the refrigerator for one hour.
Once the time has elapsed, the dough is stretched with the help of a rolling pin until it is more or less half a centimeter thick. Then, cut with the short pastry and place the cookies on a tray with the baking paper.
The cookies are baked between 8 and 10 minutes at 175 degrees. When they are done, they are taken out, they are left about 2 minutes and they are passed to a rack until they are cold.

As you can see, they are perfect recipes to serve vegans at Christmas. Surely your guests love that you delight them with some Mexican enchiladas and gingerbread cookies to sweeten these special dates. ThemesChristmas Vegan Christmas Recipes
