Enchiladas are one of the most recognized dishes of Mexican cuisine. Its preparation includes the use of some hot sauce, and it is usually stuffed with beef or chicken, and cheese. This version is lighter and healthier since no ingredients of animal origin or oil are used. However, they retain their traditional flavor.
Warm cheese sauce is comforting and creamy. This vegan version is loaded with flavor and comfort, but low in calories and fat.
This recipe was inspired by the orange cranberry scones they offer at Starbucks. They were one of my mom’s favorite desserts there, until she found the recipe and was able to make them at home. She passed the recipe along to me and I was able to make it plant-based to enjoy. These scones are a great sweet treat because the whole batch only contains 7 teaspoons of sugar. That’s almost less than ½ a teaspoon per scone, and that’s a whole lot less than your average dessert. The glaze adds a little bit more sugar, but it is always optional.
Peruvian cuisine is well known throughout the world for its quality and flavors. This simple vegetarian version of “Sautéed Loin” does not need meat to give it an exquisite taste and texture. It can be served with brown rice or with any other accompaniment.
