Servings: 6
Ingredients
- Corn tortillas (12)
- Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
- Red onion (1, sliced)
- Bell peppers (2 (1 red, 1 yellow), sliced)
- Zucchini (1, sliced)
- Yellow squash (1, sliced)
- Chili powder (1 tablespoon)
- Cumin (1 teaspoon)
- Salt (1 teaspoon)
- Pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
- Enchilada sauce (2 cups)
- Shredded cheese (Mexican blend) (2 cups)
- Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- On a large baking sheet, toss the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, and red onion with olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
- While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the enchilada sauce according to the provided instructions.
- Once the vegetables are roasted, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C).
- In a separate baking dish, spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce to prevent sticking.
- Take a corn tortilla and place it on a flat surface. Spoon some roasted vegetables onto the center of the tortilla, then roll it tightly and place it seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and roasted vegetables, arranging them snugly in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are fully covered.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the top of the enchiladas.
- Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the enchiladas are heated through.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
