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.
Tips
- Feel free to use any seasonal vegetables you have on hand for roasting.
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the vegetable mix or use a spicier enchilada sauce.
- To make this dish vegan, omit the cheese or use a plant-based cheese alternative.
