Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Slightly oil a 9-inch x 13-inch baking tray. Set aside.
In a large non-stick pan, over medium heat, warm olive oil. Add the diced red onion and cook for about 2 minutes, until fragrant and softened.
Stir in the cauliflower rice, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Then, add the diced red bell pepper, diced yellow bell pepper, and diced zucchini. Stir and cook until the vegetables have softened, about 4-5 minutes uncovered.
Stir in the drained cooked black beans, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook for 5 minutes until the beans are warm and the liquid released by the vegetables has evaporated.
Remove pan from heat. Set aside.
Assemble enchiladas
Spread 1/2 cup of enchiladas sauce all over the bottom of the baking dish - I used the back of a spoon to spread it easily.
To fill the tortillas, place in front of you all the filling ingredients in line. You will need 8 tortillas, 1 cup of enchilada sauce, all the vegetable filling, and 1 cup of vegan shredded cheese.
Place the first tortillas in front of you, fill in the center with 2 tablespoons of enchilada sauce and 1/2 cup of the cooked vegetable mixture - make sure you use a slotted spoon to avoid adding liquid from the vegetables or the tortillas get soggy. End with 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese.
Wrap and roll tightly - you can close the sides if you like to secure the filling in the tortilla, it's up to you.
Place the rolled tortilla on the prepared baking dish, sealed side down.
Repeat the step above with the remaining tortillas and place each prepared tortilla next to each other in the pan. You should fit 8 tortillas. If you have leftover filling, you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge or bake it in another baking dish filling more tortillas.
Spread the remaining cup of enchilada sauce all over the rolled, filled tortillas. Sprinkle the remaining cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Bake uncovered for 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, the tortillas crisp on the sides, and the sauce is bubbly.
Serving
Serve immediately with a dollop of vegan sour cream, cilantro, hot sauce, and avocado.
