    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!
