Preparation Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375.

Blend the tomatoes, garlic, half of the cumin and a pinch of the chili powder, if desired. Pour into a separate dish.

Add the peas to a food processor, pulse until mashed. Add the chunks of avocado, chopped cilantro, lime juice, remaining ground cumin, and chili powder, if desired for a bit of heat.

Pour half of the enchilada sauce into a baking dish. Warm the tortillas briefly in a skillet over low heat, just until they are malleable. Dollop in the filling. Roll up. Place in the pan with the sauce. Continue until the pan is filled and the tortillas are used. Pour the remaining sauce on top and sprinkle on the cheese.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until the center is hot to the touch.
