Ingredients

• 2 cups Enchilada sauce
• 12 pieces Corn tortillas
• 2 medium, diced Zucchini
• 2 medium, diced Bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
• 1 cup Corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
• 1 15 oz can, drained and rinsed Black beans
• 2 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 2 stalks, sliced Green onions
• 0.5 cup, chopped Cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 medium, cut into wedges (for serving) Lime

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with olive oil or nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced zucchini, bell peppers, and a pinch of salt. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the ground cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder. Cook for another minute until the spices are fragrant. Add the corn kernels and black beans, stirring to combine. Set the vegetable mixture aside.

Step 4

Spread a thin layer (about 1/2 cup) of enchilada sauce on the bottom of the greased baking dish.

Step 5

Layer 4 tortillas across the bottom of the dish, slightly overlapping them. Spread half of the vegetable mixture over the tortillas, and sprinkle with 2/3 cup of shredded cheese.

Step 6

Drizzle 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce over the cheese and vegetables.

Step 7

Repeat the layering process with 4 more tortillas, the remaining vegetable mixture, another 2/3 cup of cheese, and another 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce.

Step 8

Finish the dish with a final layer of 4 tortillas, the remaining enchilada sauce, and the last 2/3 cup of shredded cheese sprinkled evenly over the top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Top with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro for garnish.

Step 11

Slice into squares and serve with lime wedges on the side. Enjoy your layered vegetable enchiladas!
