• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• 1 pinch finishing salt
• 4- 6 medium corn tortillas 

Instructions:

4. Heat avocado oil in a pan over medium heat.

6. Add a pinch of salt, onion powder, garlic powder and turmeric powder. Mix well and continue to cook for 4 minutes.
7. Add pasta and enchilada sauce to the pan and stir until well combined.
8. Cook over medium temperature for 4-5 minutes, stirring to stop the mixture from sticking to the pan or browning.
9. Spoon the pasta mixture into warm corn tortillas and immediately top each with half a slice of crumbled vegan cheese.
10. Squeeze the juice of ¼ lime over top each tortilla.
11. Add diced avocado, fresh tomato, cilantro, a few slices of pepperoncini peppers and a pinch of finishing salt over each serving.
12. Serve while warm and enjoy.

Recipe Notes:

• Avocado oil is recommended in this recipe because of its tolerance of temperatures and smoke point. Other oils may be substituted but not low smoke point oils such as extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil.
• Earth Island pepper jack and cheddar style slices both work well as the vegan cheese in this recipe.
• *Bottled enchilada sauce was used in this recipe to expedite the process. Pre-made enchilada sauce is available in most grocery stores in the international foods section.
