This is a public forum for a discord server of friends who are all vegans and cook at home for their families.
We are here to share some inspiration, to see what others are doing and to stay engaged in something that is both our hobby and a required task.
This forum is not a "food porn" community, a recipe book or a place to teach you how to cook. It is a place for people who already cook to meet other people like themselves and provide on topic support and conversation as much as long distance friends on the internet can do. We are doing show and tell about what we made and we don't care about its instagram worthiness.
Veganism isn’t a diet but I have to eat every day. This is for the vegan home cooks. Anything non vegan will be deleted.
Rules
1. Be Vegan.
If it is not vegan it doesn’t belong here… or anywhere.
2. Post home cooking.
No restaurant or fast food. This is what every other vegan space is about and we don’t want to promote any large or small business tyrants.
We’re an active community of vegan home cooks that like to talk about what we are cooking today.
4. Do not make any rude comments or digs at anyone’s food, cooking style, specific diet, restrictions or technique.
While we are all cooks, we all have different requirements and we’re not asking for help, we are doing show and tell.
5. Do not use trademarked brands
Use generic names. We’re cooking with tvp not whatever business brands it and we’re not trying to turn comrades into billboards. No plant-based vegan-pandering capitalist crap like Impossible, Beyond, Dairy-company owned “vegan” cheese.
6. Do not ask for a recipe without otherwise engaging the OP (No posts that are just “recipe?”)
We are not food bloggers. Sometimes we're excited to share and will tell you the recipes we used but this isn't required. Instead try doing your own research and tell us what you learned and we can talk about it.
7. Careful with making unasked for suggestions.
Sometimes we like to hear suggestions but you should be nice about it and know the person you are making suggestions to. We are in the discord and you can get to know us that way. If you are just a visitor from the fediverse, this isn’t the place for you to start telling other people what to do.
8. Grown Ups Only.
Cooking for our kids is great, Acting like one is not. While this isn't a community for adult material we expect everyone who participates to be an adult and act like one. Please follow the Anarchists Code of Conduct. No profane usernames allowed.

omg yes! 😍😍😍
if you want to, I would be very interested to hear how you make your enchiladas.
I recently made some enchiladas as well and my partner has very particular preferences I adjust my recipe for, but I love hearing how other people make them!
Here is a pic of the recent enchiladas I made (sorta hard to see when it's drowned in sauce and toppings, lol):
I have an outer wheat tortilla onto which I smooth refried beans (always made from scratch so they're more creamy), then I smoosh a smaller corn tortilla into the beans and then fill the double-decker wrap with some cheez (based on those cashew + potato + carrot + nutritional yeast recipes you see floating around) and "beef", then I roll them up and top them with more "beef" and then red sauce and then more of the cheez.
Here's what a pan of them can look like after baking:
That plate looks amazing!
Ours are super low effort and not very homemade. The tortillas are rice based because we can only get tiny, stale corn tortillas here and rolling them is a nightmare. Both the beans and the sauce is from a can lol. 2/3 of the sauce options at the store had dead animals in them which I wasn't expecting :(
The cashew cream is dead basic, I soaked raw cashews in boiled water for an hour or so and then used the immersion blended to blend then with a small amount of water, lemon juice and salt.
The salsa is high effort but it's my partners specialty and I'm grateful every time he makes it.
oo, honestly this could be helpful, I tend to have the wrong instincts, always putting in too much work. One time I made enchiladas with from-scratch tortillas, and they were amazing, but tbh fresh tortillas are more soft and the enchiladas were more soft and even mushy as a result - it turns out older store-bought tortillas work better for this dish!
So using canned refried beans and canned sauce as well could be nice for an easy dinner night during the week, cooking doesn't always have to be a heroic effort 😁 (I need to tape this on my fridge or something.)
Thanks for sharing your method, I love it!
If you haven't tried it, sweet potato and black beans (with spices) go well as a filling in enchiladas!
I haven't tried that - what spices do you use, and how do you prep the sweet potato (do you bake them and fluff with a fork like refried beans, or do you like dice them and fry them or bake them so they're crispy?)
Make up the beans like you would for a Mexican dish: spices, lime, etc. Cube and cook up the sweet potato separately.
Add the beans and sweet potato to the taco shell, put taco seasoning on top, put red salsa on top of that (to keep it moist), then wrap it up and top with a red sauce and whatever else.
I tend to like a sauce with adobo, but use whatever red sauce is your favorite!
