  1. Hi there,
    I have been loving your blog, videos and recipes since my husband and I have gone WFPB. I just made your bean and “cheese” enchilada recipe and wanted to let you know that the cheese sauce recipe as written resulted in a very watery mix for me. Is one cup of water correct? When I removed some of the liquid and added about another 1/2 cup of cashews, it came together perfectly. I’ll let you know how it tastes. It’s cooling down a little right now! It smells absolutely amazing.

    1. Yes, the mixture is a bit wet but that is so it will pour nicely, but if it worked for you with less water that is great too. So sorry this is getting to you so late. Notifications weren’t getting to me.

      1. Hmm, that is a good question. I think it would work but the tortillas will soak up a lot of the moisture and might be hard to remove from the pan after cooking as individual enchiladas.

  2. Hi, I donโ€™t live in the USA and Iโ€™m wondering what the weight of a box of tofu is in the recipe. Thanks so much.

  3. Hi Jill,I was wondering if soy milk instead of water for the cheese recipe would make the cheese a little โ€œricherโ€?

  4. Hi Jill, the recipe above and in your cookbook refers to โ€œ1/2 cup enchilada sauceโ€ in the filling but I didnโ€™t see you add enchilada sauce to your filling in the video. Is that supposed to go in the filling? Thanks!

      1. Hi! I’m making this as I’m typing…with a brief pause of course. Could I use tempeh instead of tofu next time I make these? I don’t mind tofu, I was just wondering if you have any thoughts on this. ?

  5. What size can of chopped (diced?) tomatoesโ€”14.5 or 28? How much tomato paste is in a can? I buy my tomato paste in a tube. ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. Sorry about that, this is one of my oldest recipes, before I knew how to write the recipes out correctly. I will have to edit that recipe. It is 1- 14 ounce can of diced tomatoes, 1- 6 ounce can of tomato paste.

  6. Made this tonight using store bought vegan cheese (with a little inside as well as on top), and it was so good! I’ll def be making this again. Thank you!
