Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (about 300g)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 to 10 medium flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (120g), sifted
  • 3 tablespoons milk (whole or dairy-free, 45 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Filling (about 15 minutes): In a medium saucepan, combine sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy (about 7-10 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and cinnamon if using. The filling should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon but still juicy.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the filling cools slightly, prepare your baking dish by lightly greasing it or lining with parchment paper.
  3. Warm the tortillas: Wrap the flour tortillas in a damp towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds to make them pliable and easier to roll without cracking.
  4. Assemble the enchiladas: Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the strawberry filling onto the center of each tortilla. Roll it up gently but snugly, then place seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with all tortillas.
  5. Brush the rolled enchiladas: Lightly brush melted butter over the tops of the enchiladas to help them brown beautifully during baking.
  6. Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes, until the tortillas are slightly golden and the filling is bubbling gently.
  7. While the enchiladas bake, make the creamy vanilla glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, vanilla bean paste, and a pinch of salt until smooth and pourable. Adjust milk quantity to reach your desired glaze thickness.
  8. Remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes. Drizzle the creamy vanilla glaze generously over the warm enchiladas before serving.

Notes

Warm tortillas properly by wrapping in a damp cloth and microwaving briefly to prevent cracking. Cook strawberry filling over medium to medium-low heat to avoid burning or watery texture. Brush melted butter on enchiladas before baking for a golden finish. Adjust glaze thickness by adding more powdered sugar or milk as needed. For gluten-free, use corn or gluten-free tortillas and verify cornstarch brand. Vegan substitutions include plant-based butter and non-dairy milk.
