Instructions
To Make the Sauce:
In a blender, combine the cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and water
Blend until easy and creamy
Pour the sauce right into a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat
Reduce warmth to low and let simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened
Remove from warmth and stir within the cilantro
Serve the sauce over the chicken enchiladas
To Assemble the Enchiladas:
Prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish, frivolously greased.
Fill every tortilla with about 1/4 cup of the chicken filling.
Roll up the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbling.
Uncover and sprinkle the shredded vegan cheese on high.
Bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Serve hot, garnished together with your favorite toppings.
