Vegan Buffalo Jackfruit Enchiladas

Today I am bringing you two of my favorites – tangy buffalo flavor and jackfruit!

Can I say that a third favorite is an enchilada?

It is.

This the time of year, when it is cold and dark by four in the afternoon, I make enchiladas. A lot.

Enchiladas are easy. Fairly quick. Versatile. We love them. 

and last but not least? Breakfast leftovers!

Oh yes I do.

Jackfruit Enchiladas

The tangy spice of buffalo sauce goes surprisingly well with a green enchilada sauce. I have made these Vegan Buffalo Jackfruit Enchiladas many times, and all but one batch had green sauce. 

One batch had red. That red sauce still made great breakfast leftovers the next day, for sure. We prefer the green sauce for most enchiladas, and especially these.

Also! If you are making my Easy Green Enchilada Sauce recipe, you might notice an absence of tomatillos in the ingredient list. I sometimes have a difficult time finding tomatillos.

Please, if you can find them? Add them! I make this sauce with tomatillos as often as I can.

these tangy Vegan Buffalo Jackfruit Enchiladas fill that need for warm and satisfying comfort food. make ahead for a quick and easy weeknight dinner.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 (20 ounce) can jackfruit in brine, drained
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup buffalo style hot sauce (adjust to heat preference)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, peeled and diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1/2 cup dairy / soy free cream cheese
  • 1 cup Simple Spanish Rice
  • 1 recipe Easy Green Enchilada Sauce
  • 4 gluten free tortillas
  • cashew cream, for garnish
  • green onion, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 °F.
  2. Drain jack fruit, place in large bowl. Using two forks, shred jack fruit into smaller pieces (or chop with knife). Add buffalo sauce. Stir to combine, coating jackfruit completely. Set aside.
  3. In large skillet over medium heat, sauté onion and garlic in olive oil until onion is soft and translucent. Add shredded jackfruit, cook several minutes.
  4. Add buffalo jackfruit to skillet. Stir to combine with onion and garlic, and cook on medium heat for several minutes. Further shred jackfruit if needed as it warms and softens.
  5. Remove jackfruit from heat.
  6. Pour about 1/2 cup enchilada sauce into bottom of square (8 or 9 inch) baking dish, enough to cover surface completely.
  7. Assemble enchiladas: spread 2 tablespoons cream cheese down middle of tortilla. Add several tablespoons Spanish rice and buffalo jackfruit mixture to tortilla. Roll and place in baking dish. Repeat with remaining four tortillas.
  8. Top enchiladas with remaining enchilada sauce*. Using a fork or spatula, move enchiladas around so sauce coats each enchilada, in between.
  9. *Use plenty of sauce if you like a soft, gooey enchilada. Lightly brush on a thin layer of enchilada sauce if you want a crispier outer shell to the enchilada.
  10. Bake at 350 °F for 40 minutes, until enchiladas are hot throughout.
  11. Remove from oven, allow to cool several minutes. Garnish with cashew cream and green onion.

    It took me a while to like jackfruit but now, I figured that as long as I’m the one adding the flavor, then its a perfect meat replacement. Love how you used it in these enchiladas…especially since its spicy.
