    Sweet Potato Enchiladas

    Why We Love This Recipe

    Enchiladas have a reputation for being heavy—and when loaded with cheese and topped with even more cheese, that reputation is well-earned. This vegan version of enchiladas is lighter and completely plant based, with an onion-and-sweet potato filling and a sprinkling of nutritional yeast over the top for that irresistible cheesy flavor.

    About Raw. Vegan. Not Gross.

    The name says it all, right? Vegan food, and particularly raw food, has some harsh critics, but the recipes in Laura Miller's Raw. Vegan. Not Gross.: All Vegan and Mostly Raw Recipes for People Who Love to Eat are crowd-pleasers that everyone will enjoy eating. We love that it's not strictly a raw cookbook and takes a more flexible approach to the diet, acknowledging that for most of us, 100% raw 100% of the time isn't possible.

    Some of our favorite recipes include:

    • Cocoa Buckwheat Crispies
    • Creamy Jicama Salad
    • Ginger Sesame Salad
    • Walnutballs in Red Sauce
    • Sweet Potato Curry
    • Banana Cream Pie
    • Lavender Cheesecake
    • Chia Pudding Pops
