Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil and sauté the diced bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, corn, and black beans until the vegetables are tender and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
- While the vegetables are cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable, about 15-30 seconds per tortilla.
- Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Fill each tortilla with a spoonful of the sautéed vegetable mixture, roll it up tightly, and place it seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Once all the enchiladas are arranged in the dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top, ensuring they are fully covered.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the enchiladas.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with sliced avocado and chopped cilantro before serving.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the vegetable mixture or use a spicy enchilada sauce.
- Feel free to substitute or add vegetables based on your preference, such as spinach, mushrooms, or sweet potatoes.
- These enchiladas can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator before baking. Just add an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
