Quorn enchiladas are a healthier vegetarian version of the classic Mexican dish. They’re lower in fat and calories than the traditional version and make for a hearty tasty weekend dinner.
These quorn enchiladas are a favourite for Lady Lynne and I at the weekend!
Of course there’s nothing to say you can’t have these during the week, it’s just they do take a little longer to prep and cook than the majority of my other recipes.
I can’t say I notice any difference when having these instead of the traditional Mexican version either.
They’re just as cheesy, tasty and filling but easier on the waistline!
Of course you can buy those kits that you can make enchiladas from as well.
But you know me, I like a challenge and I couldn’t see any vegetarian versions made with Quorn that I specifically liked on the internet so what better excuse that to make my own?
And to show you how easy it can be to make your own too!
These quorn enchiladas would be great for feeding guests at a dinner party too.
I’ve also been able to freeze them too, so if you’re lucky enough to have any left over………. 😉
I’m pretty sure that you’ll find these quorn enchiladas pretty filling, a good source of protein and an all round excellent family meal whatever occasion you choose you have it on!

I can’t wait for the day that Canada (finally!) approves Quorn for human consumption! I’ve been waiting half my life!
Wow. I really had no idea Quorn wasn’t available in Canada! Sorry about that! If substituting with lean beef mince isn’t your thing then I would suggest Butter Beans?
