Instructions
Step 1
Warm the oil in a large skillet. Sauté the onions and carrots for 5-8 minutes until they become soft—add a little water if they begin to stick. Add the chili powder and cook for an additional minute. Stir in the tomatoes and pulses and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring now and then, until it thickens. Take off the heat and season generously.Step 2
Preheat the grill on high. Cover the bottom of a large ovenproof dish with a spoonful of the bean chili. On a board, lay out each tortilla, fill them with a few tablespoons of the chili mixture, fold in the ends, and roll tightly to close. Arrange them in the ovenproof dish and then spread the remaining chili on top.Step 3
Combine the yogurt and grated cheese with a bit of seasoning, then spoon over the enchiladas. Grill for a few minutes until the top is golden and bubbling. Serve alongside a green salad.
