- Make Enchilada Sauce: In a separate saucepan, combine tomato sauce, vegetable broth, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
- Assemble Enchiladas: Spoon a generous amount of lentil filling onto each tortilla, then roll them up and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat until all tortillas are filled and rolled.
- Pour Sauce: Pour the prepared enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, making sure to coat them evenly.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle dairy-free cheese shreds over the top of the enchiladas.
- Bake: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the enchiladas are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the enchiladas from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro. Serve warm with sliced avocado, if desired.
