Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 medium zucchini diced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 can (15-ounce) black beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels thawed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 can (10-ounce) red enchilada sauce
  • 8 soft corn tortillas 6-inch
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese divided
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Cooking spray

Equipment

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and spread 1/4 cup of the enchilada sauce evenly over the bottom.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 4-5 minutes, until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
  3. Add the diced zucchini, black beans, corn, cumin, and chili powder to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheese and the chopped cilantro.
  4. Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30 seconds, or by heating them one at a time in a dry skillet for 15 seconds per side until pliable. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the vegetable filling onto each tortilla, roll it up tightly, and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are completely covered. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese evenly over the sauce.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the tortillas are just beginning to crisp. Let the enchiladas rest for 5 minutes before serving.
