Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium Zucchini, diced
• 1 cup Corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
• 1 can (15 oz) Black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 8 pieces Flour tortillas (8-inch)
• 2 cups Enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If planning to freeze the enchiladas, skip this step for now.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the diced zucchini to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes until tender. Stir in the corn, black beans, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 4

Spread 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce evenly over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 5

Lay out a tortilla and spoon 1/3 cup of the vegetable mixture into the center. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese over the filling. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 6

Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, making sure they are evenly covered. Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese.

Step 7

If freezing, cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and label with the cooking instructions. Freeze for up to 3 months.

Step 8

If baking immediately, place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

If baking from frozen, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the frozen enchiladas (covered with foil) for 40-50 minutes. Remove the foil in the last 10 minutes of cooking to allow the cheese to brown slightly.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving if desired, and enjoy!
