Tofu Enchilada Bake
We love Mexcian food at BOSH! HQ, and if there's one thing that gets our tastebuds going, it's enchiladas. Fluffy corn tortillas stuffed with a wonderfully-spiced filling, smothered in sauce and cheese. What's not to love?
For this iteration of the Mexican staple, we've used tofu and king oyster mushrooms to get that meaty consistency in the filling. Couple that with sweet paprika, hot sauce, cumin and coriander, and you have a dish that will tingle your tongue and leave you desperate for another serving.
