- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 zucchini, chopped
- 1 cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups red enchilada sauce, store-bought or homemade
- 8 medium flour or corn tortillas
- 1½ cups shredded cheese, cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend
- Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Sauté veggies: In a large skillet, heat olive oil and sauté onion until softened. Add garlic, bell pepper, zucchini, and corn; cook until tender. Mix in black beans, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook briefly and remove from heat.
- Prepare enchiladas: Spread enchilada sauce in a baking dish. Fill tortillas with veggie-bean mixture, cheese, roll them up, and place seam-side down in the dish. Pour remaining sauce over the top and sprinkle with cheese.
- Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Serve: Garnish with cilantro before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute sweet potato or spinach for the zucchini, or use vegan cheese for a plant-based version.
- Serve with avocado, lime wedges, or sour cream on the side.
