Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.

  2. In a saucepan, dissolve cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of almond milk, then stir in remaining almond milk, ground cashews, nutritional yeast, salsa, tahini, garlic powder, and salt.

  3. Cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens, about 3 minutes, then remove from heat.

  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet, then cook chicken breasts, onion, and bell pepper for 6 to 7 minutes until chicken is done.

  5. Chop the cooked chicken and combine it with the "cheese" sauce, onions, peppers, and cilantro.

  6. Fill tortillas evenly with the mixture, roll them, and arrange in a single layer in a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

  7. Pour red enchilada sauce over the tortillas.

  8. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, then serve hot.
