Instructions

Chickpea Scramble Filling

Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed potato and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and browned, about 6-8 minutes (you can start step 2 in the meantime). Add the onion and cook for 2-3 more minutes, continuing to stir frequently, until slightly softened. Then add the bell pepper, jalapeno, and ground spices. Continue cooking over medium-low heat until the potato is fully cooked.

Add the entire can of chickpeas to your food processor and blend until smooth. Push the potato mixture in the skillet to one side of the pan, and add a little more olive oil to the empty side. Pour in the chickpea mixture and let it cook until bubbling. Then 'scramble' it up and continue cooking it for another 2-4 minutes, until firmed up slightly.

Fold the scramble chickpeas together with the rest of the veggie mixture in the pan, and set aside.

Chipotle Sauce

Warm the olive oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the paprika, black pepper, garlic, and oregano, and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the tomato puree, chipotle pepper and adobo sauce, agave nectar, and liquid smoke if using. Stir well to combine, and heat until bubbling slightly. Set aside.

Enchiladas

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Add a couple of generous ladles of sauce to a small casserole dish (mine is about 7" by 10" and fits exactly 10 enchiladas).

One by one, add generous portions of filling to corn tortillas, gently roll them, and place them seam-side down in the sauced dish. Once finished, spoon plenty more sauce to cover the top.

Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes (precise timing not important), or until hot through and the sauce is nicely baked into the tortillas.

Serve hot with toppings.
