Veggie Chili Enchiladas

Veggie Chili Enchiladas
Turn your leftover veggie chili into spicy enchiladas with the addition of brown rice and a simple chipotle tomato sauce.
Ingredients
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 cup chili
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 4 whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground chipotle chili powder
Preheat oven to 375°F.

Heat a medium saucepot over medium-high heat until hot. Add pepper and onion and cook, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes or until beginning to brown and stick to the pan. Stir in 1/3 cup water and cook 3 minutes longer or until vegetables are very tender. Stir in chili, cooked rice and nutritional yeast. Place about 3/4 cup of the chili mixture on each tortilla and gently roll up. Place filled tortillas on prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.

In a small bowl, combine tomato sauce and chipotle powder and spoon over enchiladas. Bake 10 minutes.
